For how many two-element subsets {$a,b$} of the set {$1, 2, 3, \cdots, 36$} is the product of $ab$ a perfect square?

Point $M$ of rectangle $ABCD$ is the midpoint of side $BC$ and point $N$ lies on $CD$ such that $DN:NC = 1:4$. Segment $BN$ intersects $AM$ and $AC$ at points $R$ and $S$. If $NS:SR:RB$ = $x:y:z$, what is the minimum possible value of $x + y + z$?

If $kx + 12 = 3k$, for how many integer values of $k$ is $x$ a positive integer?

In $\triangle{ABC}$, segments AB and AC have each been divided into four congruent segments. We must find the fraction of the triangle that is shaded.


The sum of the first $n$ terms of a sequence, $a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n$, is given by the formula $S_n = n^2 + 4n + 8$ What is the value of $a_6$?

The first and last initials of the 348 students form a unique ordered letter pair. We must find how many more students are required to guarantee that there are two students whose initials form the same ordered letter pair.

A semicircle and circle are placed inside a square with sides of length 4. The circle is tangent to two adjacent sides of the square and to the semicircle. The diameter of the semicircle is a side of the square (or 4). We must find the radius of the circle

The diameter of a spherical balloon is increased by 150%. We must find by what percent the volume increases.

In one roll of four standard six-sided dice, what is the probability of rolling exactly three different numbers?

Adult tickets are \$5 and student tickets are \$2. Five times as many student tickets were sold as adult tickets for a total of \$1125. We must find the number of tickets sold.

CDs sell for $3$ different amounts. Three customers bought $3$ CDs each but none bought three of the same price. The first customer spent $\$4$, the second spent $\$9$ and the third spent $\$12$. We must find the price of the most expensive CD.
