1. Johnny used machines to make squares and rectangles. He made each figure
using 12 matchsticks (without breaking any matchsticks). Which figure below
has not followed the instructions?
A. B. C. D.
[Answer: C]
Solution:
Figures A, B, and D use 12 matchsticks. While C uses 14 matchsticks.
2. There are equal numbers of cats, dogs, and chickens in the yard. All in all,
there are 50 legs. How many cats are there in the yard?
A. 4 B. 6 C. 5 D. 7
[Answer: C]
Solution:
Each cat and dog have 4 legs, each chicken has 2 legs. One cat, one dog and
one chicken have 10 legs together, so we have 5 animals of every kind (50
legs  10 = 5). We know there are equal numbers of cats, dogs and chickens in
the yard, so there are 5 cats in the yard.
3. Figure 1 shows the grids whose area of the

shaded part is 37 . What is the area of the
unshaded part, in
A. 43 B. 74 C. 80 D. 111
[Answer: A] Figure 1
Solution:
From the given figure, there are 37 small right triangles in the shaded portion,
and 80 small right triangles in the entire rectangle.
Then the area of the rectangle is 80 it follows the area of the unshaded
portion is 43
4. A strange animal farm has cats and dogs. The number of dogs is 180 more than
the number of cats. However, 20% of the dogs mistakenly think they are cats,
and 20% of cats think they are dogs. Among the cats and dogs, 32% of them
think they are cats, how many dogs are there in all?
[Answer: A]
Solution:
Let the number of cats represent as x and the number of dogs as y.
From the given information, we set the equation as
Hence, there are dogs in the farm.
5. Figure 2 consists of the same dimension square and

the same dimension isosceles right triangle.
How many squares of different sizes are there?
[Answer: 83]
Solution:
Let the area of the small grid square in the Figure 2 1 square unit. Sort all the
squares according to the size of the area and count:
the number of squares whose area is 1 square units, we have
the number of squares whose area is square units, we have

the number of largest square in the outer frame, we have 1.
Thus, the total number of squares is
Section C.
1. The Figure 3 shows five isosceles triangles with top angles 24 o, 48o, 72o, 96o and 120o
the first multiples of the smallest top angle. All top angles have an integer number of
degrees. We want to make a similar picture with as many non-overlapping triangles as
possible. How many degrees is the smallest top angle in that case?

Solution:
If we have n triangles, we need 360 to be a multiple of
1 + 2 +  + n.
Therefore, 360 must be a multiple of or 720 must be a multiple of n(n + 1).
This means that 720 must be a multiple of both n and (n + 1). We write down the list
of factors of 720:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120,
144, 180, 240, 360, 720.
We find that the largest possible value of n is 5.
Then since the smallest top angle is
2. On 22 cards there have been written positive integers from 1 to 22. With these cards
11 fractions have been made. What is the greatest number of these fractions that can
have integer values?
Solution:
Note that not all the 11 fractions can be integers, since there are three prime numbers
(13, 17 and 19) which will only produce an integer when paired with 1. However, we
can get 10 fractions to be integers:
Therefore, the answer is 10.
3. The Zoo manager wants to distribute bananas to three groups of monkeys. If

he wants to distribute to the first group of monkeys only, then each monkey of
that group will get 12 bananas. If distribute to the second group of monkeys
only, then each monkey of that group will get 15 bananas. If distribute to the
third group of monkeys only, then each monkey of that group will get 20
bananas. When distribute to all the three groups of monkeys, each monkey
will get how many bananas?
[Answer: 5]
Solution:
Total Number of Bananas the number of monkeys in the first group
the number of monkeys in the second group
the number of monkeys in the third group
Hence, the total number of bananas must be multiple of 12, 15 and 20.
The least number of bananas that meets the criteria is 60. So the total number
of bananas is
It follows the possible number of monkeys in the first group are
the possible number of monkeys in the second group are while the
possible number of monkeys third group are
Therefore, when the bananas are equally divided into three groups of monkeys,
the number of bananas per monkey is 5.
4. Seven consecutive non-zero positive integers are respectively placed at the
intersections A, B, C, D, E, F, G of the five circles in figure below such that the
sum of the numbers on each circle is equal. If the number filled in is greater
than 0 and not greater than 10, what is the number filled in point G?
C G F
A B
D E
[Answer: 7]
Solution:
Use the same letter to represent the number filled in at each point. From the
given information, we have
Thus, the total of all the sum of integers on five circles is twice the sum of the
seven consecutive integers. Therefore, the sum of these seven consecutive
integers must be divisible by 5. Since 7 cannot be divisible by 5, and the sum
of 5 consecutive non-zero positive integers must be divisible by 5, it follows
the sum of the smallest and largest integers must be divisible by 5. So,
Among the 7 consecutive positive integers not greater than 10, only
the seven numbers of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 satisfy the requirements. Thus, the sum
of the numbers on each circle is 14, so G=7.

5. The seven positive integers 39, 41, 44, 45, 47, 52, 55 are rearranged in a line
such that the sum of any three adjacent integers is a multiple of 3. What is the
largest possible value of the fourth integer in all such arrangements?
[Answer: 68]
Solution:
It is known that after the arrangement of the seven positive integers 39, 41, 44, 45,
47, 52, 55, the sum of any three adjacent integers is required to be a multiple of
three. Let us divide the 7 integers by 3, the remainder is 0, 2, 2, 0, 2, 1, and 1. After
the corresponding arrangement, since the 7 remainders have only 2 zeros, the 3
adjacent integer are greater than 0 or impossible to be equal to 6, otherwise, the
three adjacent remainders are 2, and among the 7 remainders we have three of
them are 2. In this case, the sum of the first 3 adjacent remainders must be 4 or 5.
Hence, the sum of the remainders of three adjacent integers must be 3.
Since after the seven remainders are arranged, each of the three adjacent
remainders is added, then we have 5 times of additions established. In these 5
operations, the occurrences of the remainder is 0, 1, 2 is x, y, z; respectively, so
we have
So, we obtain
It can be obtained that y must be an odd number greater than one.
We know that among 7 remainders, 2 must appear 3 times, so that and

Hence, the solutions of are
(1) (2) e can i

In the solution (1), we can interpret the remainder 0 appear 6 times. in the
arrangement of 7 remainders, the remainder 0 can only appear in the third, fourth
and fifth position. The sum of remainder in 4th, 5th and 6th position is either 1 or 2,
which is contradict to the condition of the given problem!
In the solution (2), the position of 1st, 4th and 7th can only be the remainder 2. It
indicate the remainder of the 3 positive integers in the 1st, 4th and 7th position can
only be an integer divided by 3 by 2.
Thus, according to the requirement of the problem, after the arrangement of 7
positive integers 39, 41, 44, 45, 47, 52, 55, the largest possible integer is the 4th
position must be 47.
