Three different one-digit positive integers are placed in the bottom row of cells. Numbers in adjacent cells are added and the sum is placed in the cell above them. In the second row, continue the same process to obtain a number in the top cell. What is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers possible in the top cell?

A box contains gold coins. If the coins are equally divided among six people, four coins are left over. If the coins are equally divided among five people, three coins are left over. If the box holds the smallest number of coins that meets these two conditions, how many coins are left when equally divided among seven people?

To complete the grid below, each of the digits $1$ through $4$ must occur once in each row and once in each column. What number will occupy the lower right-hand square?


Sets $A$ and $B$, shown in the Venn diagram, have the same number of elements. Their union has $2007$ elements and their intersection has $1001$ elements. Find the number of elements in $A$.


Amanda Reckonwith draws five circles with radii $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$. Then for each circle she plots the point $(C,A)$, where $C$ is its circumference and $A$ is its area. Which of the following could be her graph?

On the last day of school, Mrs. Wonderful gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class. She gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class. She brought $400$ jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left. There were two more boys than girls in her class. How many students were in her class?

If the value of $(9x^2 + k + y^2)$ is a perfect square for any $x$ and $y$, what value can $k$ take?

When the integers $1$ to $100$ inclusive are written, what digit is written the fewest number of times?

Evaluate the value of $$\Big(1-\frac{1}{2^2}\Big)\Big(1-\frac{1}{3^2}\Big)\cdots\Big(1-\frac{1}{9^2}\Big)\Big(1-\frac{1}{10^2}\Big)$$

Danica wrote the digits from 1 to 8 across a sheet of paper, as shown, and then circled one digit. If the digits to the left of the circled digit had the same sum as those to the right of the circled digit, which digit did Danica circle?


For positive integers $n$ and $m$, each exterior angle of a regular $n$-sided polygon is 45 degrees larger than each exterior angle of a regular $m$-sided polygon. One example is $n = 4$ and $m = 8$ because the measures of each exterior angle of a square and a regular octagon are 90 degrees and 45 degrees, respectively. What is the greatest of all possible values of $m$?

What are the last two digits in the sum of the factorials of the first $100$ positive integers?
