Problem: A roll of tape is $4$ inches in diameter and is wrapped around a ring that is $2$ inches in diameter. A cross section of the tape is shown in the figure below. The tape is $0.015$ inches thick. If the tape is completely unrolled, approximately how long would it be? Round your answer to the nearest $100$ inches.
$\textbf{(A) } 300\qquad\textbf{(B) } 600\qquad\textbf{(C) } 1200\qquad\textbf{(D) } 1500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 1800$

Solution: The roll of tape is $1/0.015=$ 66 layers thick. In order to find the total length, we have to find the average of each concentric circle and multiply it by $66$ . Since the diameter of the small circle is $2$ inches and the diameter of the large one is $4$ inches, the "middle value" is $3$ . Therefore, the average circumference is $3\pi$ . Multiplying $3\pi \cdot 66$ gives $(B) \boxed{600}$

$\textbf{(A) } 300\qquad\textbf{(B) } 600\qquad\textbf{(C) } 1200\qquad\textbf{(D) } 1500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 1800$

Solution: There are about $\dfrac{1}{0.015}=\dfrac{200}{3}$ "full circles" of tape, and with average circumference of $\dfrac{4+2}{2}\pi=3\pi.$ $\dfrac{200}{3} \cdot 3\pi=200\pi,$ which means the answer is $\boxed{600}$

Problem: A roll of tape is $4$ inches in diameter and is wrapped around a ring that is $2$ inches in diameter. A cross section of the tape is shown in the figure below. The tape is $0.015$ inches thick. If the tape is completely unrolled, approximately how long would it be? Round your answer to the nearest $100$ inches.
$\textbf{(A) } 300\qquad\textbf{(B) } 600\qquad\textbf{(C) } 1200\qquad\textbf{(D) } 1500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 1800$

Solution: The volume of the tape is always the same, but we can either calculate it when the tape is unrolled as a really long, thin rectangular prism, or we can calculate it as a cylinder with a hole cut out of it. When we calculate it as a long rectangular prism, we can say that the length is $X$ (this is what the problem wants!) and the width is $Y$ . Then, the volume is, of course, $0.015 \cdot X \cdot Y.$ Now, notice that the "width" of our rectangular prism is also the "height" of our cylinder with a hole cut out of it. Then, we can calculate the volume as base times height, or in this case, $3\pi \cdot Y.$ Now, since the volume always stays the same, we know that $3\pi \cdot Y = 0.015 \cdot X \cdot Y.$ Cancelling the $Y$ 's give us an equation for $X$ , and if we approximate $\pi$ as $3$ , then $X = \boxed{600}$ . Yay!

Problem: A roll of tape is $4$ inches in diameter and is wrapped around a ring that is $2$ inches in diameter. A cross section of the tape is shown in the figure below. The tape is $0.015$ inches thick. If the tape is completely unrolled, approximately how long would it be? Round your answer to the nearest $100$ inches.
$\textbf{(A) } 300\qquad\textbf{(B) } 600\qquad\textbf{(C) } 1200\qquad\textbf{(D) } 1500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 1800$

Solution: If you cannot notice that the average diameter is $3$ , you can still solve this problem by the following method.
The same with solution 1, we have $\frac{1000}{0.015}$ layers of tape. If we consider every layers with the diameter $2$ , the length should be $\frac{1000}{0.015}2\pi\approx 400$ . If the diameter is seem as $4$ , the length should be $800$ . So, the length is between $400$ and $800$ , the only possible answer is $\boxed{600}$

Problem: Rodrigo has a very large sheet of graph paper. First he draws a line segment connecting point $(0,4)$ to point $(2,0)$ and colors the $4$ cells whose interiors intersect the segment, as shown below. Next Rodrigo draws a line segment connecting point $(2000,3000)$ to point $(5000,8000)$ . How many cells will he color this time?
[asy]  filldraw((0,4)--(1,4)--(1,3)--(0,3)--cycle, gray(.75), gray(.5)+linewidth(1)); filldraw((0,3)--(1,3)--(1,2)--(0,2)--cycle, gray(.75), gray(.5)+linewidth(1)); filldraw((1,2)--(2,2)--(2,1)--(1,1)--cycle, gray(.75), gray(.5)+linewidth(1)); filldraw((1,1)--(2,1)--(2,0)--(1,0)--cycle, gray(.75), gray(.5)+linewidth(1));  draw((-1,5)--(-1,-1),gray(.9)); draw((0,5)--(0,-1),gray(.9)); draw((1,5)--(1,-1),gray(.9)); draw((2,5)--(2,-1),gray(.9)); draw((3,5)--(3,-1),gray(.9)); draw((4,5)--(4,-1),gray(.9)); draw((5,5)--(5,-1),gray(.9));  draw((-1,5)--(5, 5),gray(.9)); draw((-1,4)--(5,4),gray(.9)); draw((-1,3)--(5,3),gray(.9)); draw((-1,2)--(5,2),gray(.9)); draw((-1,1)--(5,1),gray(.9)); draw((-1,0)--(5,0),gray(.9)); draw((-1,-1)--(5,-1),gray(.9));   dot((0,4)); label("$(0,4)$",(0,4),NW);  dot((2,0)); label("$(2,0)$",(2,0),SE);  draw((0,4)--(2,0));  draw((-1,0) -- (5,0), arrow=Arrow); draw((0,-1) -- (0,5), arrow=Arrow);  [/asy]
$\textbf{(A) } 6000\qquad\textbf{(B) } 6500\qquad\textbf{(C) } 7000\qquad\textbf{(D) } 7500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 8000$

Solution: Let $f(x, y)$ be the number of cells the line segment from $(0, 0)$ to $(x, y)$ passes through. The problem is then  equivalent to finding \[f(5000-2000, 8000-3000)=f(3000, 5000).\] Sometimes the segment passes through lattice points in between the endpoints, which happens $\text{gcd}(3000, 5000)-1=999$ times. This partitions the segment into $1000$ congruent pieces that each pass through $f(3, 5)$ cells, which means the answer is \[1000f(3, 5).\] Note that a new square is entered when the lines pass through one of the lines in the coordinate grid, which for $f(3, 5)$ happens $3-1+5-1=6$ times. Because $3$ and $5$ are relatively prime, no lattice point except for the endpoints intersects the line segment from $(0, 0)$ to $(3, 5).$ This means that including the first cell closest to $(0, 0),$ The segment passes through $f(3, 5)=6+1=7$ cells. Thus, the answer is $\boxed{7000}.$ Alternatively, $f(3, 5)$ can be found by drawing an accurate diagram, leaving you with the same answer.

Thus, \[144+64-h^2=183,\] which means that the answer is $\boxed{5}.$

Problem: Wind chill is a measure of how cold people feel when exposed to wind outside. A good estimate for wind chill can be found using this calculation \[(\text{wind chill}) = (\text{air temperature}) - 0.7 \times (\text{wind speed}),\] where temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit $(^{\circ}\text{F})$ and the wind speed is measured in miles per hour (mph). Suppose the air temperature is $36^{\circ}\text{F}$ and the wind speed is $18$ mph. Which of the following is closest to the approximate wind chill?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 18 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 23 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 28 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 32 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 35$

Solution: By substitution, we have \begin{align*} (\text{wind chill}) &= 36 - 0.7 \times 18 \\ &= 36 - 12.6 \\ &= 23.4 \\ &\approx \boxed{23} ~apex304, SohumUttamchandani, wuwang2002, TaeKim, Cxrupptedpat, MRENTHUSIASM

$\textbf{(A)}\ 18 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 23 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 28 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 32 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 35$

Solution: $0.7$ is very close to $\frac{2}{3}$ - therefore, we can substitute $\frac{2}{3}$ into the equation to get $36 - \frac{2}{3} * 18$ , which is $36 - 12 = 24$ . As $\frac{2}{3}$ is slightly less than $0.7$ , the correct answer is slightly less than $24$ . Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{23}$

Problem: A lake contains $250$ trout, along with a variety of other fish. When a marine biologist catches and releases a sample of $180$ fish from the lake, $30$ are identified as trout. Assume that the ratio of trout to the total number of fish is the same in both the sample and the lake. How many fish are there in the lake?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 1250 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1500 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 1750 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 1800 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 2000$

Solution: Note that \[\frac{\text{number of trout}}{\text{total number of fish}} = \frac{30}{180} = \frac16.\] So, the total number of fish is $6$ times the number of trout. Since the lake contains $250$ trout, there are $250\cdot6=\boxed{1500}$ fish in the lake.

Solution: The maximum possible value of using the digits $2,0,2,$ and $3$ : We can maximize our value by keeping the $3$ and $2$ together in one power (the biggest with the biggest and the smallest with the smallest). This shows $3^{2}\times2^{0}=9\times1=9.$ (We don't want $0^{2}$ because that is $0$ .) It is going to be $\boxed{9}.$

$\textbf{(A) }0 \qquad \textbf{(B) }8 \qquad \textbf{(C) }9 \qquad \textbf{(D) }16 \qquad \textbf{(E) }18$

Solution: Trying all $12$ distinct orderings, we see that the only possible values are $0,4,8,$ and $9,$ the greatest of which is $\boxed{9}.$

Answer: C 9
Problem: Lola, Lolo, Tiya, and Tiyo participated in a ping pong tournament. Each player competed against each of the other three players exactly twice. Shown below are the win-loss records for the players. The numbers $1$ and $0$ represent a win or loss, respectively. For example, Lola won five matches and lost the fourth match. What was Tiyo’s win-loss record?
\[\begin{tabular}{c | c} Player & Result \\ \hline Lola & \texttt{111011}\\ Lolo & \texttt{101010}\\ Tiya & \texttt{010100}\\ Tiyo & \texttt{??????} \end{tabular}\] $\textbf{(A)}\ \texttt{000101} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \texttt{001001} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \texttt{010000} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \texttt{010101} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \texttt{011000}$

Solution: We can calculate the total number of wins ( $1$ 's) by seeing how many matches were players, which is $12$ matches played. Then, we can calculate the # of wins already on the table, which is $5 + 3 + 2 = 10$ , so there are $12 - 10 = 2$ wins left in the mystery player. Now, we will make the key observation that there is only $2$ wins ( $1$ 's) per column as there are $2$ winners and $2$ losers in each round. Strategically looking through the columns counting the $1$ 's and putting our own $2$ $1$ 's when the column isn't already full yields $\boxed{000101}$

Answer: A 000101

Solution: In total, there will be $\binom{4}{2} \cdot 2 = 6 \cdot 2 = 12$ games because there are $\binom{4}{2}$ ways to choose a pair of people from the four players. And, each player will play each other player exactly twice. Each of these $12$ games will have $1$ winner and $1$ loser, so there will be a total of $12$ $1$ 's and $12$ $0$ 's in the win-loss table. Therefore, Tiyo will have $12-10=2$ $1$ 's and $12-8=4$ $0$ 's in his record.
Now, all we have to do is figure out the order of these $1$ 's and $0$ 's. In every round, there are two games; the players are split into two pairs and the people in those pairs play each other. Thus, every round should have $2$ winners and $2$ losers which means that every column of the win-loss table should have $2$ $1$ 's and $2$ $0$ 's. Looking at the filled-in table so far, we see that columns $4$ and $6$ need one more $1$ , so Tiyo must have $1$ 's in those columns and $0$ 's gone in the others. 
Therefore, our answer is $\boxed{000101}.$
