1. Vasisht skips around the alley as he uses Jose, the human calculator. Unfortunately, Jose malfunctions. When
addition is inputted, Jose performs multiplication instead. For example, if Vasisht inputs ”2 + 3”, then Jose
outputs ”6”. What would Jose output when Vasisht inputs ”1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5”?

10. Connor has a trauma of not simplifying the fraction and getting an AIME question wrong. He then started
practicing always simplifying the fraction. Eunice asked Connor what time it is because her phone’s storage
ran out and it somehow led to her phone not turning on. Connor accidentally viewed the time displayed on
his phone as a fraction, and told Eunice the “simplified time.” He says that the time is 1/5 (If the time was
12:30, he would have said 2/5). He laughs at his own mistake and he covers it up with his intellectual math
fact that after exactly half an hour, he would say the time is 2/3. If the current time can be represented as a : b
when Eunice asked Connor for the time, find a + b.

a positive integer number of marbles, and the other player has to guess if it is an odd or even number of
marbles. If he guesses correctly, the game is played again, where the same player is able to guess if the number
of marbles newly picked up by the other player is even or odd. If he guesses wrong, the other person gets to
guess. Given that a player wins if they guess correctly three times in a row, what is the expected number of
