Assessment Test
• The Assessment Test aims to determine the skill levels of students with little or no experiences in math
competitions, for the purpose of placement in the Math Zoom Summer Camp. If you meet one of the
following requirements, you are not required to submit the Assessment Test:
(a) Qualified for AIME;
(b) Scored 19 or above in AMC 8;
(c) Entered the MathCounts State level competition as an individual or in a team;
(d) Top performer in ARML;
(e) Good performance in other math contests comparable to the above—please provide details.
• There are 16 problems in this test. Give yourself 5 days to work on them. You don’t have to solve all
the problems. Solve as many of the problems as you can. Choose six (6) of your favorite solutions
and submit them. You are encouraged to submit more than six if possible. Don’t be discouraged if
you can’t solve six of them; simply send whatever you have done after 7 days.
• All of these problems can be solved using only elementary techniques. Some are quite easy, and some
pretty challenging. Most of the time, you need to find clever ways to combine the elementary techniques
in order to find a solution.
• Complete solutions are required for all problems. Partial credits are given to well-reasoned progress
toward a solution, even though the solution is incorrect or incomplete. Do not simply submit an
unsupported answer. You should include all significant steps in your reasoning and computation.
• There are a cover sheet and an answer sheet. Print out both sheets, and make several copies of the
blank answer sheet. Fill out the top of each answer sheet as you go, and then fill out the cover sheet
when you’re finished. Start each problem on a new answer sheet.
• All the work you present must be your own.
• You must submit your solutions by regular mail, e-mail or fax (714-784-7838) as soon as possible. Make
sure that the cover sheet is the first page of your submission, and that it is completely filled out.
Solutions are to be mailed to the following address:
Math Zoom Summer Camp
4850 Barranca Pkwy, Suite 203
Irvine, CA 92604
If you e-mail your solutions, please send them to
mathcamp@mathzoom.org
E-mailed solutions may be written and scanned or typed in TEX. They should be sent as an attachment
in either .doc or .pdf format. If you write and scan your solutions, insert the scans into a .doc or .pdf
file, and send just the one file.
Please go to the next page for the problems.

1. The digits 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are each used once to form the largest possible odd five-digit number. What
is this five-digit number?
2. Given numbers a = 2555 , b = 3333 , c = 5222 . Arrange them in increasing order.
3. The average of the five numbers in a list is 130. The average of the first and the last numbers is 100.
What is the average of the three numbers in the middle?
4. How many positive integers below 400 have at least one “3” as a digit?
5. Six passengers A,B,C,D,E,F are taking the same train. They came from six different cities: Boston,
New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta. Given that
(a) A and the person from Boston are both doctors; E and the person from New York are both
teachers; C and the one from Los Angeles are both engineers.
(b) A,B,F, and the Dallas person served in the military. The Los Angeles person never did.
(c) The person from Seattle is older than A. The person from Atlanta is older than B. F is the
youngest among the six.
(d) B is traveling together with the person from Boston. C is traveling together with the person from
Seattle.
Please determine the origin and occupation of each passenger.
6. It takes 60 minutes for Dave to walk from home to school. It takes 20 minutes if he rides a bike instead.
One day, he first rides a bike for 12 minutes before the bike breaks. He next walks to school for the
remaining distance. How many minutes in total does Dave spend on the road?
7. The Goldbach Conjecture says that each even integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two
prime numbers. For example, 4 = 2 + 2, 6 = 3 + 3, 12 = 5 + 7, etc.
The number 126 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers in many different ways. How many
different ways can you come up with? Write as many as possible.
8. The equiangular convex hexagon ABCDEF has AB = 1, BC = 4, CD = 2, and DE = 4. Find
[ABCDEF ], where [ABCDEF ] denote the area of the hexagon.

9. The side length of square ABCD is 2. Let E be a point inside square ABCD such that CDE is an
equilateral triangle. Find the area of triangle AEC.
10. In quadrilateral ABCD, BD is perpendicular to AD and BC. Given that BD = 8, AB = 17, CD = 10.
Find the area of ABCD.

u+v
v+w
w+x
x+y
y+z

12. A quadratic equation ax2 − 10ax + 5b = 0 has two real solutions. What is the average of the solutions?
13. How many positive factors does the number 3600 have?
14. At 7:18pm, what is the measure (in degrees) of the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand
on a standard clock?
15. If |m − 2011| = −(n − 2012)2 , what is (m − n)2013 ?
16. In triangle ABC, let A′ be a point on BC such that BA′ = 2A′ C, B ′ on AC such that CB ′ = 2B ′ A,
and C ′ is on AB and AC ′ = 2C ′ B. Connect AA′ , BB ′ , and CC ′ , and an internal triangle P QR is
formed, as shown. Find the ratio of areas [P QR]/[ABC]. ([P QR] and [ABC] denote the areas of
△P QR and △ABC respectively.)
