DO NOT BEGIN UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

This section of the competition consists of 30 problems. You will have 40 minutes to
complete all the problems. You are not allowed to use calculators, books or other aids during
this round. Calculations may be done on scratch paper. All answers must be complete,
legible and simplified to lowest terms. Record only final answers in the blanks in the left-hand
column of the competition booklet. If you complete the problems before time is called, use
the remaining time to check your answers.
In each written round of the competition, the required unit for the answer is included in
the answer blank. The plural form of the unit is always used, even if the answer appears to
require the singular form of the unit. The unit provided in the answer blank is the only form
of the answer that will be accepted.

Work on one pair of problems will be completed and answers will be collected before the
next pair is distributed. The time limit for each pair of problems is six minutes. The first pair
of problems is on the other side of this sheet. When told to do so, turn the page over and
begin working. This round assumes the use of calculators, and calculations also may be
done on scratch paper, but no other aids are allowed. All answers must be complete, legible
