I was the only one in my school to pass this UM Math Competition test, and today I took the second one. To start it off, you get 2 hours to do 5 questions. That's not disconcerting at all.
So does anyone have an easy way to prove that a number, consisting of 2008 ones, 2009 twos and a five in that order as it's 4018 digits, is a perfect square? And getting the square root isn't good enough, you have to prove that it squared is the other number... Whatever that means.
Or prove that there is a power of ten has exactly 2008 digits in base two? or alternatively base five?
No calculators! Go!
Oh, and the other one is figuring out a 2 player numbers game. It was longer and more annoying.
I only solved two of them. If even that. I bet at least one of them has an answer that will make me![]()
But still, I'm the only one from our school to ever get that far in the competition, so yay me. I'm going to go rest my head.
I hate Math. Especially Math that hard.
