Question 10:
An integer n is 'savage' if it fits the following cases
The set {1,2,3,...,n} can be divided into three groups so that all of the following is true:

Group A contains only odd numbers
Group B contains only even numbers
Group C contains all of the multiples of three (it can contain other numbers as well)

and
The sum of all three groups is the same.

Now for the actual question (3 parts)
a) Show that 8 is a 'savage' number
b) Prove that for every even 'savage' number, (n+4)/12 is an integer
c) Find every prime 'savage' number less than 100.

Remember, this is math, not computer science. Couldn't even have graphing calculators.

I got part a and 3/4 of part b done. Didn't have time to start part c. Sad

(P.S. 8 is a savage number as 1~8 can be divided into
A = {5,7}
B = {4,8}
C = {1,2,3,6} )

98 on euclid for me ^.^;
hypatia question 3, i think it is if you have a cylinder and sphere, both have the same radius, and the sphere is half the height of the cylinder (or was it the other way around). and you have a plane parallel to the ground level cut through both objects, what value of the height of plane will make the area of the cylinder equal to area of the sphere.

the cylinder part is easy, the sphere, you gotta realize do pythagoras. let the radius of the area be r, and radius of sphere be R. so basically:
r^2+(h-R)^2=R^2

I sucked big time on the Euclid, I only did 7 questions, got 69, ran out of time, spent all my time doing the hexagon and the cannon one. I redid those questions like 4 times each, cuz i kept on getting different answers, stupid mechanical errors Evil or Very Mad .oh well, just have to learn to work faster next time.

these contests they are talking about are ones offered by the University of Waterloo...

I only did the open one this year, it was pretty straight forward except for part C and I think one question in part B that had all these angles and something about light reflecting or something... even a couple of the teachers looked at it and were like wtf... I can't remember how I did though, I think like 2nd or 3rd in my school, so not too good I don't think
