1. The operation (·) is defined such that (a, b, c) = b a−1 for all real
2. Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse are playing a game. n positive
integers are written on n cards respectively. Tom the cat and Jerry the
mouse each takes out one card. If the sum of the numbers on their cards
is odd, then Tom the cat wins; If not, then Jerry the mouse wins. It is
known that the two players have an equal probability to win. If n ≤ 100,
find the sum of all possible values of n.
3. In regular heptagon ABCDEF G, let the intersection of AE and CF
be H. If 76 AHC = m◦ , find m.
4. The Ricky Machine can perform the following operation: If the in-
put is the nth letter in the alphabet, the machine will calculate the remainder
r when n2 + n is divided by 26 and output the rth letter in the alphabet. If
r = 0, the output letter will be Z. For example, letter F (the sixth letter) will
1
be turned into P (the sixteenth letter) after the operation. After performing
the operation to 4 letters, the machine outputs the message BDF Z. What
is the number of possible original messages?
5. We say positive integer a is good if and only if there exists b > a such
that the remainder when 2018 is divided by a plus the remainder when 2018
is divided by b equals to 2018. Find the number of good integers.
6. How many permutations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 satisfy the following condi-
tions: (1) 7 is not on the fourth place; (2) each number is either larger or
smaller than every number before it?
7. Alice, Bob and Cindy are three dwarfs. Bob weighs 5 kilograms and
is 3 decimeters tall. It is known that Alice, Bob, and Cindy’s weights form
an arithmetic progression and their heights form a geometric progression.
Furthermore, the sums of each dwarf’s weight and height are three positive
integers that√form a geometric progression. Let the maximum weight of
Cindy be a+bd c , in which a, b, c, d are integers, a, d are relatively prime, and
c is square-free. Find a + b + c + d.
8. Let the four smallest positive divisors of three-digit positive integer N
be 1 = a1 < a2 < a3 < a4 . If a1 + a2 , a1 + a2 + a3 , a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 are also
divisors of N , find the total number of such three-digit integers.

9. In 4ABC, 6 B = 60◦ , D ∈ AB, BD = 1, AC = 3, DA = DC. If
6 DCA = m◦ , find the sum of all values of m.

and the maximum of S4ABC is m n
, in which m, n are relatively prime positive
integers, find m + n.
14. Let S(n) be the sum of the digits of n. A four-digit number m satisfy
S(m) = 12 and S(m + 3579) = 9. How many √ possible values of m are there?
15. Square ABCD has side length 2, M ∈ CD, CM intersects BD
◦
at P . Point Q satisfy 6 P AQ = 6 DBQ √ = 90 , and the bisector of BCM
6
intersects
√ √AB at N . If SAP BQ = 2 · S4CM D , let the length of AN be
a + b − c, in which a, b, c are integers. Find a + b + c.
