DO NOT BEGIN UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

This section of the competition consists of 30 problems. You will have 40 minutes to complete
all the problems. You are not allowed to use calculators, books or other aids during this round.
If you are wearing a calculator wrist watch, please give it to your proctor now. Calculations
may be done on scratch paper. All answers must be complete, legible and simplified to lowest
terms. Record only final answers in the blanks in the left-hand column of the competition
booklet. If you complete the problems before time is called, use the remaining time to check
your answers.

In each written round of the competition, the required unit for the answer is included in the
answer blank. The plural form of the unit is always used, even if the answer appears to require
the singular form of the unit. The unit provided in the answer blank is the only form of the
answer that will be accepted.
