Mathcounts 1/4/10 January 04, 2010 2010 is the start of a new decade and often when you start something new it is good to reflect on the past, so here are a few new year problems from the past 10 years.
At the start of the last decade everyone was concerned about Y2K...
A. Well, we made it. Y2K is here. Interesting thing about the first date of the new millennium, 01/01/00 - when the digits of that date are added, it's the smallest possible sum of any date. What date during the next century, when written in that form, will have the greatest possible sum of its digits?
B. How many seconds will occur this millennium (the year 2000 through the year 2999)? Express your answer in scientific notation.
C. New year's eve is a time when many people make resolutions...
Peitlyn decided that she would like to read more during 2005, so she made a resolution to read 30 minutes each day. If Peitlyn reads an average of 1 page every 2 minutes and she finishes her 6th book at the end of her reading session on March 31, 2005, what would be the average number of pages per book for these six books?
D. Nora’s resolution is to get more exercise. She decided that starting with the first full week in 2005, she will do a 45-minute workout four times each week (four days during every seven-day period). This means she will have to exercise four of the days during the week of Jan. 1 through Jan. 7, and then four of the days during the week of Jan. 8 through Jan. 14, and so on. If Nora sticks to her resolution, what is the first possible date on which she could reach a total of 25 hours of exercise for the year?
Do not solve here just post I wonder and I notice. Problem A
I wonder
Danny - What "Y2K" means?
I notice
Danny - That the first date of the new millennium is 1/01/00.
Do not solve here just post I wonder and I notice. Problem B
I wonder
Danny - How I would figure out how many seconds there are in a millenium?
I notice
Danny - A millennium is 2000 to 2999.
Do not solve here just post I wonder and I notice. Problem C
I wonder
Danny - That they want the average number of pages per book.
I notice
Danny - That Peitlyn finishes her goal on March 31, 2005.
Do not solve here just post I wonder and I notice. Problem D
I wonder
Danny - What year this resolution was made?
I notice
Danny - They are talking about the whole year.
I wonder how many seconds will occur this millennium -Luke
I notice that the problem asks for the answer in scientific notation -Luke
