INSTRUCTED TO DO SO
This round of the competition consists of eight problems.
# They will be presented to you in pairs. Work on one pair of
the problems will be completed and answers will be collected
before the next pair is distributed. The time limit for each
set of two problems is six minutes. The first pair of problems
is on the other side of this sheet. When told to do so, turn
the page over and read silently as the problems are read
aloud. Pencils are to be down while the problems are being
read. When instructed to begin, pick up your pencil and
begin working. Record your final answer in the designated
space the problem sheet. All answers must be complete,
on

legible, and simplified to lowest terms. This round assumes


the use of calculators, and calculations may also be done on
scratch paper, but no other aids are allowed. If you complete
the problems before time is called, use the time remaining
to check
your answers.
