Two congruent circles Γ1 and Γ2 each have radius 213,and the center of Γ1 lies on Γ2. Suppose Γ1 and Γ2intersect at A and B. The line through A perpendicular to AB meets Γ1 and Γ2 again at C and D, respectively. Find the length of CD.

Consider the Collatz function defined on the positive integers:

F (n)=
Case I n is even then n/2, case 2 n is odd then 3n+1
Find the smallest value of n such that f^(7)(n)=5.

Details and assumptions

f(7)(n) means the function f applied 7 times. I.e. f^(7)(n)=f(f(f(f(f(f(f(n))))))).Note that the function is only defined on the positive integers. Hence, your answer must be a positive integer.

ABCD is a square. Γ1 is a circle that circumscribes ABCD (i.e. Γ1 passes through points A,B,C and D). Γ2is a circle that is inscribed in ABCD (i.e. Γ2 is tangential to sides AB,BC,CD and DA). If the area of Γ1 is 100, what is the area of Γ2?

Jenny places 100 pennies on a table, with 30 showing heads and 70 showing tails. She chooses 40 distinct pennies uniformly at random and turns them over. That is, if a chosen penny was showing heads, she turns it to show tails; if a chosen penny was showing tails, she turns it to show heads. After this process, what is the expected number of pennies showing heads?

i'll give you example..

any one get this ?

A 999-digit number starts with 9. Every 2 consecutive digits is divisible by 17 or 23. There are 2 possibilities for the last 3 digits. What is the sum of these 2 possibilities?

Details and assumptions

If you believe that the sum is over 999, enter your answer as 999.

If the number is 12345, then every 2 consecutive digits refers to the number 12, 23, 34 and 45.

The number starts with 9 if the leftmost digit is a 9.
