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.
If you are wearing a calculator wrist watch, please give it to your proctor now. 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.

This section of the competition consists of eight problems, which will be
presented in pairs. 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 and simplified to lowest terms. Record only final
answers in the blanks in the left-hand column of the problem sheets. If you
complete the problems before time is called, use the time remaining to
check your answers.

you can combine two cards that sum to 15. Jacks, queens and kings each have
a value of 10, aces each have a value of 1, and all number cards have a value of
the number shown. How many different unordered pairs of two cards sum to 15
