If you meet one of the following requirements, you are not required to submit the Assessment Test: (a) Qualified for AIME; (b) Scored 19 or above in AMC 8; (c) Entered the MathCounts State level competition as an individual or in a team; (d) Top performer in ARML; (e) Good performance in other math contests comparable to the above—please provide details. • There are 16 problems in this test. Give yourself 5 days to work on them. You don’t have to solve all the problems. Solve as many of the problems as you can. Choose six (6) of your favorite solutions and submit them. You are encouraged to submit more than six if possible. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t solve six of them; simply send whatever you have done after 7 days. • All of these problems can be solved using only elementary techniques. Some are quite easy, and some pretty challenging. Most of the time, you need to find clever ways to combine the elementary techniques in order to find a solution. • Complete solutions are required for all problems. Partial credits are given to well-reasoned progress toward a solution, even though the solution is incorrect or incomplete. Do not simply submit an unsupported answer. You should include all significant steps in your reasoning and computation. • There are a cover sheet and an answer sheet. Print out both sheets, and make several copies of the blank answer sheet. Fill out the top of each answer sheet as you go, and then fill out the cover sheet when you’re finished. Start each problem on a new answer sheet. • All the work you present must be your own. • You must submit your solutions by regular mail, e-mail or fax (714-784-7838) as soon as possible. Make sure that the cover sheet is the first page of your submission, and that it is completely filled out. Solutions are to be mailed to the following address: Math Zoom Summer Camp 4850 Barranca Pkwy, Suite 203 Irvine, CA 92604 If you e-mail your solutions, please send them to [email protected] E-mailed solutions may be written and scanned or typed in TEX. They should be sent as an attachment in either .doc or .pdf format. If you write and scan your solutions, insert the scans into a .doc or .pdf file, and send just the one file. Please go to the next page for the problems.
