Solution

Problem 8

Joe is right at the middle of a train tunnel and he realizes that a train is coming. The train travels at a speed of 50 miles per hour, and Joe can run at a speed of 10 miles per hour. Joe hears the train whistle when the train is a half mile from the point where it will enter the tunnel. At that point in time, Joe can run toward the train and just exit the tunnel as the train meets him. Instead, Joe runs away from the train when he hears the whistle. How many seconds does he have to spare (before the train is upon him) when he gets to the tunnel entrance?

\mathrm{(A)}\,7.2\quad\mathrm{(B)}\,14.4\quad\mathrm{(C)}\,36\quad\mathrm{(D)}\,10\quad\mathrm{(E)}\,12\quad\mathrm{(F)}\,2.4\quad\mathrm{(G)}\,25.2\quad\mathrm{(H)}\,123456789

Solution

Problem 9

Suppose that and are positive integers such that , the geometric mean of and is greater than , and the arithmetic mean of and is less than . How many pairs satisfy these conditions?

\mathrm{(A)}\,0\quad\mathrm{(B)}\,1\quad\mathrm{(C)}\,2\quad\mathrm{(D)}\,3\quad\mathrm{(E)}\,4\quad\mathrm{(F)}\,5\quad\mathrm{(G)}\,6\quad\mathrm{(H)}\,7\quad\mathrm{(I)}\,2007

Solution

Problem 10

My grandparents are Arthur, Bertha, Christoph, and Dolores. My oldest grandparent is only years older than my youngest grandparent. Each grandfather is two years older than his wife. If Bertha is younger than Dolores, what is the difference between Bertha’s age and the mean of my grandparents’ ages?

\mathrm{(A)}\,0\quad\mathrm{(B)}\,1\quad\mathrm{(C)}\,2\quad\mathrm{(D)}\,3\quad\mathrm{(E)}\,4\quad\mathrm{(F)}\,5\quad\mathrm{(G)}\,6\quad\mathrm{(H)}\,7\quad\mathrm{(I)}\,8\quad\mathrm{(J)}\,2007
