A 7. The number of apples produced by a group of farmers is less than 1000. It is known that they shared the apples in
the following way. In turn, each farmer took from the collection of apples either exactly one-half or exactly
one-third of the apples remaining in the collection. No apples were cut into pieces. After each farmer had taken his
share, the rest was given to charity. Find the greatest number of farmers that could take part in the apple sharing.

11. On a certain planet there are 100 countries. They all agree to form unions, each with a maximum of 50 countries,
and that each country will be joining a number of unions, so that every two different countries will belong to a
same union. At least how many unions must be formed? (1 mark)

A 13. ABCDEFGH is a cube in which ABCD is the top face, with vertices H, G, F and E directly below the vertices A, B,
C and D respectively. A real number is assigned to each vertex. At each vertex, the average of the numbers in the
three adjacent vertices is then computed. The averages obtained at A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
respectively. Find the number assigned to vertex F. (2 marks)
14. A regular 201-sided polygon is inscribed inside a circle of center C. Triangles are drawn by connecting any three
of the 201 vertices of the polygon. How many of these triangles have the point C lying inside the triangle?

2. 15 名學生參加了一個暑期課程。每天放學後,均有 3 名學生當值,負責清潔課室。課程結束後,發現
任何兩名學生均曾經同時當值剛好一次。問課程共為期多少天? (1 分)
3. 在集合 {1000, 1001, 1002, …, 2000} 中,有多少對連續整數加起來時不用進位? (1 分)
4. 若正整數 x 以二進制表示時「1」的數目為偶數,則 x 稱為「魔幻數」 。例如,首五個「魔幻數」為 3、
5、6、9、10。求首 2003 個「魔幻數」之和,答案以十進制表示。 (1 分)
5. 設 n 為正整數。當我們把 n 的數字左右倒轉時,或會得到一個比 n 大的數。這樣的 n 稱為「遞增數」。
例如,當我們把 2003 左右倒轉,便得到 3002;而 3002 比 2003 大,故此 2003 為「遞增數」
。共有多
少個四位正整數為「遞增數」? (1 分)
