Arbitrarily Arranged Imaginations Make an Exam

1. All information (Rules and Instructions) needed to administer this exam is contained in the TEACH-
ERS’ MANUAL. PLEASE READ THE MANUAL BEFORE [idk templates are weird].
2. Your PRINCIPAL or VICE-PRINCIPAL must verify on the AMC CERTIFICATION FORM (found
in the Teachers’ Manual) that you followed all rules associated with the conduct of the exam.
3. The Answer Forms must be mailed by trackable mail to the AMC office no later than 24 hours
following the exam.
4. The publication, reproduction or communication of the problems or solutions for this contest during
the period when students are eligible to participate seriously jeopardizes the integrity of the results.
Dissemination at any time via copier, telephone, email, internet, or media of any type is a violation
of the competition rules.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL THE TIMER STARTS.
2. This is a fifteen question test. Each question has only one correct answer.
3. Mark your answer clearly, using leading zeroes whenever necessary (e.g. 071 instead of 71 and
005 instead of 5). Edited submissions made through Private Message (not Google Form) will be
disqualified.
4. SCORING: You will receive 1 point for each correct answer, 0 points for each problem left unan-
swered, and 0 points for each incorrect answer.
5. No aids are permitted other than scratch paper, graph paper, rulers, compass, protractors, and
erasers. No calculators, smartwatches, or computing devices are allowed. No problems on the test
will require the use of a calculator.
6. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
7. Before beginning the test, your proctor will ask you to record certain information on the answer
form.
8. When your proctor gives the signal, begin working on the problems. You will have 3 hours to
complete the test.
9. When you finish the exam, sign your name in the space provided on the Answer Form.

The Apocalyptic AMC Team (AAMC) reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official
status to their scores.

2. The graph of f (x) = x2 + bx + c meets the x-axis at two points that are 5 units apart. Find the
value of k for which f (x) meets the line y = k at two points that are 39 units apart.

3. Fifteen people are split into teams Alpha and Beta for a game so that Team Alpha has 2 players,
Team Beta has 13, and teams are chosen at random. For any game, the probability that Team Alpha
wins is the same. Genesis, one of the 15 players, is on the winning team 32 of the time.
The number 1 is in the top row, the sum of the four numbers in the bottom row is 77, and the
For any game in which Genesis is on the winning team, the probability that Genesis is on Team
