Questions 18
Do
NOT begin any round until you have set your timer to
six minutes and read all instructions.
**********************************************************
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.
Good luck!
