Instructions This is a 25-question, multiple choice test. Each question is followed by answers marked A, B, C, D and E. Only one of these is correct. You will receive 6 points for each correct answer, 2.5 points for each problem left unanswered if the year is before 2006, 1.5 points for each problem left unanswered if the year is after 2006, and 0 points for each incorrect answer. No aids are permitted other than scratch paper, graph paper, ruler, compass, protractor and erasers (and calculators that are accepted for use on the SAT if before 2006. No problems on the test will require the use of a calculator). Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. You will have 75 minutes working time to complete the test.

Problem 25

Under the new AMC $10, 12$ scoring method, $6$ points are given for each correct answer, $2.5$ points are given for each unanswered question, and no points are given for an incorrect answer. Some of the possible scores between $0$ and $150$ can be obtained in only one way, for example, the only way to obtain a score of $146.5$ is to have $24$ correct answers and one unanswered question. Some scores can be obtained in exactly two ways, for example, a score of $104.5$ can be obtained with $17$ correct answers, $1$ unanswered question, and $7$ incorrect, and also with $12$ correct answers and $13$ unanswered questions. There are (three) scores that can be obtained in exactly three ways. What is their sum?

+Under the new AMC <math>10, 12</math> scoring method, <math>6</math> points are given for each correct answer, <math>2.5</math> points are given for each unanswered question, and no points are given for an incorrect answer. Some of the possible scores between <math>0</math> and <math>150</math> can be obtained in only one way, for example, the only way to obtain a score of <math>146.5</math> is to have <math>24</math> correct answers and one unanswered question. Some scores can be obtained in exactly two ways, for example, a score of <math>104.5</math> can be obtained with <math>17</math> correct answers, <math>1</math> unanswered question, and <math>7</math> incorrect, and also with <math>12</math> correct answers and <math>13</math> unanswered questions. There are (three) scores that can be obtained in exactly three ways. What is their sum?
