(2)PART A: SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS (Place answers in the boxes provided)
A1
A1 If you place one die on a table, you can see five faces of it (the front, back, left, right and top) If you stack two dice on a table, then the number of visible faces is nine In a stack of three dice, the number of visible faces is thirteen, and so on How many dice you need to stack on a table (in a single stack) so that the number of visible faces is 101?
A2
A2 What is the perimeter (in cm) of the following figure?
A3
A3 The integer has the property that it is prime and one more than it (i.e., 6) is twice a prime (6 = 2×3) The next integer with this property is 13, since 13 is prime and one more than it (i.e., 14) is twice a prime (14 = 2×7) What is the next integer after 13 with this property?
A4
(3)A5
A5 A number is multiplied by 32 and 32 is then added The result is divided by 32 and finally the original number is subtracted What is the answer?
A6
A6 In the game of pickleball, the winner scores points while the loser gets between and points (inclusive) Ruby plays games and gets a total of 50 points What is the smallest possible number of games she won?
A7
A7 Mary is 24 years old She is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now How old is Ann?
A8
A8 A belt runs tightly round three pulleys, each of diameter 40 cm The centre of the top pulley is 60 cm vertically above the centre of the second pulley, which is 80 cm horizontally from the centre of the rightmost one
What is the total length in cm of the belt?
A9
(4)PART B: LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
B1 In the game Worm, Alice and Bob alternately connect pairs of adjacent dots on the shown grid with either a vertical line or a horizontal line Subsequent segments must start where the previous one ended and end at a dot not used before, forming aworm The player who cannot continue to build the worm (without it intersecting itself) loses
For example, if Alice’s first move is a1 – a2, Bob may then continue with either a2 – a3 or a2 – b2 Suppose Bob plays a2 – b2, and Alice then plays b2 – c2, followed by Bob playing c2 – c1 Then Alice will win with the move c1 – b1 since Bob has no remaining moves to continue building the worm
(5)B2 We say that a by rectangle fitsnicelyinto a by square if the rectangle occupies exactly ten of the little squares in the by square
The diagram on the right shows the by square with two non-overlapping rectan-gles nicely placed in it
(a) How many by rectangles can you fit nicely into a by square without overlapping? The more rectangles you succeed in fitting into the square, the better your score will be
(6)B3 (a) Write 2017 as a sum of two squares of positive integers
