  1. 0:00Hello everyone, let's solve the level
  2. 0:02two exam from the second phase of the
  3. 0:052026 MAP. Julia uses colored letters in
  4. 0:08place of the digits zero through nine
  5. 0:11to write equations. Different letters
  6. 0:14represent different digits. Item A.
  7. 0:17Initially, Julia writes the equations
  8. 0:20below. B + B = B. F x F = F. Which
  9. 0:24digits do the letters B and F represent
  10. 0:28? Since we already know that Julia
  11. 0:32chose each letter to represent a
  12. 0:34single-digit number, we need to see
  13. 0:36which of the digits from zero to nine
  14. 0:39satisfies the property that when I add
  15. 0:41it to itself, the result does not
  16. 0:43change. And what is the number such
  17. 0:46that? When I multiply it by itself, the
  18. 0:49result does not change. An element like
  19. 0:52this is what we call a neutral element.
  20. 0:56And here in this first expression, we
  21. 0:58need to find out what the neutral
  22. 0:59element of addition is. So imagine that
  23. 1:02, for example, this B here was one. If
  24. 1:05B were 1, it would mean 1 + 1 equals 2.
  25. 1:09That would already give a different
  26. 1:10result. If I put 2 + 2 it would be 4.
  27. 1:13So, if I add any number that is not
  28. 1:16zero, the result will give a value that
  29. 1:18is different from itself. Thus, the
  30. 1:21only option for this equality to be
  31. 1:24true is for B to be zero, because 0 + 0
  32. 1:27corresponds to zero. So, we have just
  33. 1:31discovered the value that the letter B
  34. 1:33represents. It is zero. Now for the
  35. 1:36letter F, adopting the same strategy,
  36. 1:38if I thought about putting 1 x 1, it
  37. 1:40would give exactly 1. Which is
  38. 1:44different. And 3 x 3 is 9. Any value
  39. 1:47greater than three will give a
  40. 1:49two-digit number that I cannot put here
  41. 1:51. So this means that the value of F
  42. 1:54must be one because 1 x 1 corresponds
  43. 1:57to 1. Therefore, we discovered that the
  44. 2:00letter F is worth 1. Thus, the digits
  45. 2:03representing the letters B and F are
  46. 2:04exactly the neutral elements of
  47. 2:06addition, which is zero, and the
  48. 2:08neutral element of multiplication,
  49. 2:10which is one. Item B. Afterward, Julia
  50. 2:13writes the equations below. J = J x J x
  51. 2:19J, which is equal to A. Which digits do
  52. 2:22the letters J, C, and A represent? We
  53. 2:26already know that zero and one are out
  54. 2:28of the game, since they represent the
  55. 2:30letters B and F, as we saw in the
  56. 2:31previous items. And now we have an
  57. 2:35exponentiation. What does an
  58. 2:37exponentiation mean? When we write a
  59. 2:41number raised to the power of another,
  60. 2:42placing the other number up here in
  61. 2:44small print, we call this bottom number
  62. 2:46the base and the number up here the
  63. 2:48exponent. This nomenclature means that
  64. 2:53I will take the bottom number and
  65. 2:55multiply it by itself a total of times
  66. 2:58equal to the number up here. So imagine
  67. 3:01, for example, that I were writing 2
  68. 3:04raised to the power of 4. When I write
  69. 3:07something like this, the two down here
  70. 3:09and the small four up here, it means I
  71. 3:12will multiply two by itself a total of
  72. 3:14four times. Thus, 2 raised to the 4th
  73. 3:18is the same as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Notice
  74. 3:23here that the 2 is appearing four times
  75. 3:25, which is exactly the number that is
  76. 3:27up here. Now, if the definition of
  77. 3:30exponentiation means multiplying the
  78. 3:33number by itself the number of times
  79. 3:35shown up here, see that j cubed
  80. 3:37corresponds to j x j x j. And how many
  81. 3:41times is j being multiplied here? 1, 2,
  82. 3:443 times. Therefore, by the definition
  83. 3:48of exponentiation, it necessarily needs
  84. 3:50to be three. So, we have already
  85. 3:52discovered one of the values of the
  86. 3:54letters in this item. Now we have a
  87. 3:57number that raised to the power of 3
  88. 3:59results in A, because these are all
  89. 4:01equalities. A is a single-digit number,
  90. 4:05because Julia uses these letters to
  91. 4:07represent the digits from zero to nine.
  92. 4:10So, a number raised to the power of 3
  93. 4:13corresponds to a single-digit number.
  94. 4:16In other words, if I take a
  95. 4:18single-digit number and multiply it by
  96. 4:20itself three times, it remains a
  97. 4:21single-digit number. Let's test which
  98. 4:24possibilities we would have. Clearly,
  99. 4:26since multiplying three times keeps the
  100. 4:28value small, a single digit only. This
  101. 4:31J must be a small number, but it cannot
  102. 4:34be zero or one, because zero and one
  103. 4:36are already the values of the letters B
  104. 4:38and F, as we saw in item A, because
  105. 4:40originally, if I put 0³, it would give
  106. 4:43a single-digit number, which would be
  107. 4:45zero, or 1 cubed, it would also give 1,
  108. 4:47which would work. So, the next digit we
  109. 4:50can test is two. Will it work with 2?
  110. 4:542³ corresponds to 2 x 2 x 2, which is
  111. 4:588. So we have that when I set j = 2,
  112. 5:01the result remains a single-digit
  113. 5:04number. If I took a number greater than
  114. 5:07two, it would already give a result
  115. 5:09with a number that has two digits. For
  116. 5:11example, 3³ is 27. In short, we have
  117. 5:14just discovered that the value of J
  118. 5:17must necessarily be two and,
  119. 5:19consequently, the value of A
  120. 5:21corresponds to 8, which is the value of
  121. 5:242³. And this concludes this item.
  122. 5:27Julia joins letters together to form
  123. 5:29numbers with two or more digits. For
  124. 5:33example, she correctly writes that JC +
  125. 5:35A = CF. Let's first interpret what that
  126. 5:38means. We have just realized that Julia
  127. 5:41can take these letters and place them
  128. 5:43side-by-side to form a number that has
  129. 5:45more than one digit. From the previous
  130. 5:48item, we just saw that J equals 2 and
  131. 5:51that C equals 3. In other words, this
  132. 5:54means that by placing J next to C,
  133. 5:56Julia can represent the number 23. And
  134. 6:01applying this same reasoning to the
  135. 6:03rest of this expression, see that Julia
  136. 6:06can encode the expression 23 + 8 = 31,
  137. 6:08by placing the letters exactly in the
  138. 6:11form JC + A = CF. Knowing this
  139. 6:13information, let's move to item C. To
  140. 6:16wrap up, Julia sets up the calculation
  141. 6:18below. Which digits do the letters D, I
  142. 6:22, E, H, and G represent? Now we have a
  143. 6:25huge calculation with a bunch of
  144. 6:27letters. And for us to be able to
  145. 6:29understand how to solve this question,
  146. 6:31we first need to get organized. Let's
  147. 6:33start by taking the letters whose
  148. 6:36values we already know from items A and
  149. 6:39B. So, we know that A equals 8, B
  150. 6:42equals 0, C equals 3, F equals 1, and J
  151. 6:46equals 2. In the set-up calculation,
  152. 6:50the letters that appear among these are
  153. 6:52J, C, and F. Let's replace each one
  154. 6:55with its respective value. So, in the
  155. 6:58calculation set up here, we already
  156. 6:59have some numbers discovered. Now that
  157. 7:03we have managed to place the numbers
  158. 7:05whose values we know, let's try to
  159. 7:06discover the other numbers that
  160. 7:08represent each of the letters based on
  161. 7:10this configuration here. Looking here
  162. 7:14at the top, we have that 220-something
  163. 7:16times 31 will give us the rest of this
  164. 7:18calculation. For me to perform this
  165. 7:21multiplication, first I will do here,
  166. 7:23look: 1 x d will give d, 1 x 2 will
  167. 7:26give 2. 1 x 2 will give 2. For now, I
  168. 7:28haven't managed to discover anything.
  169. 7:30Now when I move to the 3, I will do 3 x
  170. 7:33d and the result will be d. So this
  171. 7:37means that when I take 3 and multiply
  172. 7:39it by the single-digit number d, the
  173. 7:42result will be something that ends in d
  174. 7:44. What are the possibilities for this
  175. 7:47to happen? Well, I could put 3 x 0 to
  176. 7:49end in zero, but I already used zero,
  177. 7:51which is the value of b. The same thing
  178. 7:54with 1. 3 x 1 is 3, but I already used
  179. 7:57it for the value of f. Now, if I think
  180. 8:00about the other numbers, 3 x 2 is 6. So
  181. 8:02it doesn't continue ending in 2 here.
  182. 8:05We already used 0. And 4 too. 3 x 4 is
  183. 8:0812. It ends in two. We already used 2.
  184. 8:12And then when we reach 5, we will
  185. 8:15observe that 3 x 5 = 15, that is, the
  186. 8:19number ends in five. So I can replace
  187. 8:22the d. x = 15. And then one goes up
  188. 8:29here. And then I could keep the value
  189. 8:32of d. So, we just found out that D is
  190. 8:35worth 5. By substituting these numbers
  191. 8:37in their respective places, we have
  192. 8:39already discovered the first letter. D
  193. 8:41is worth 5. Now let's continue the
  194. 8:44calculation. 3 x 5 = 15. So one goes up
  195. 8:47here, and 5 stays. Now 2 x 3 is 6. 6 +
  196. 8:521 will give 7. So the number 7 must go
  197. 8:56exactly in the place of h. Thus, we
  198. 8:59just found out that h is 7. Let's
  199. 9:01substitute it into this written
  200. 9:03calculation and put the value of h here
  201. 9:05. Now that I already know that h is
  202. 9:08worth 7, continuing the calculation, 3
  203. 9:10x 2 is 6. So here i must be worth
  204. 9:13exactly 6 for this calculation to work.
  205. 9:16Let's substitute i = 6 here and
  206. 9:18complete it down here where i also
  207. 9:21appears. Only the value of e remains to
  208. 9:23be discovered. Look here, continuing
  209. 9:26the calculation, what I will do now is
  210. 9:28add these two values here. It will be 5
  211. 9:31plus nothing is 5. 2 + 5 = 7. 2 + 7 is
  212. 9:369. So that means the value of e for
  213. 9:39this written calculation to be correct
  214. 9:41must be exactly that. Now then, by
  215. 9:44placing the value of e, we have already
  216. 9:46discovered the total of the written
  217. 9:48calculation, which is 225 x 31,
  218. 9:50resulting in 6975. This allows us to
  219. 9:55find out that D is 5, I is 6, E is 9,
  220. 9:58and H is 7. However, I don't know what
  221. 10:00the value of G is. G does not appear in
  222. 10:02the written calculation anywhere. How
  223. 10:04am I going to find out the value of G?
  224. 10:07Remembering that Julia coded each of
  225. 10:09the digits from 0 to 9 with a letter.
  226. 10:12We have already used a total of nine
  227. 10:15letters here to represent nine digits.
  228. 10:18But since there are 10 digits from zero
  229. 10:20to nine, that means only one remains
  230. 10:22that hasn't been used. And looking here
  231. 10:25, we have already used 0, 1, 2, 3. The
  232. 10:28one that doesn't appear is four. That
  233. 10:31means the only value G can take is the
  234. 10:33digit that Julia didn't use at any
  235. 10:35point in this question, which is four.
  236. 10:38Therefore, G equals 4. And finally, we
  237. 10:41have finished this item. D is 5, I is 6
  238. 10:44, E is 9, H is 7, G is 4. From the
  239. 10:48previous items, we already knew that A
  240. 10:51was 8, B was 0, C was 3, F was 1, and J
  241. 10:54was 2. And we discovered all the digits
  242. 10:57and all the letters that these digits
  243. 10:59represent for Julia. And this completes
  244. 11:02this question. A game starts with a
  245. 11:08list of numbers from 1 to nine, as
  246. 11:10shown in the figure. In each step of
  247. 11:14the game, a smaller list is formed from
  248. 11:16the previous larger list as follows:
  249. 11:18any two numbers are chosen and removed
  250. 11:21from the list. Subsequently, after
  251. 11:25these numbers are removed, the
  252. 11:27difference between the larger and the
  253. 11:29smaller of them is written at the end
  254. 11:31of the new list. If the numbers removed
  255. 11:34are equal, zero is written at the end
  256. 11:37of the list. The game ends when only a
  257. 11:40single number remains. The figure shows
  258. 11:44an example of three steps of this game.
  259. 11:47Item A: After the first step, what is
  260. 11:49the largest number that can be written
  261. 11:51at the end of the list? We have already
  262. 11:55realized that starting from the initial
  263. 11:57list, to perform step one, we need to
  264. 11:59choose two numbers and subtract them.
  265. 12:03Since we want the largest possible
  266. 12:05number, it makes sense to choose the
  267. 12:07largest and the smallest number from my
  268. 12:09initial list to perform the subtraction
  269. 12:12. Looking at the list of numbers from
  270. 12:15one to nine, I can see that the largest
  271. 12:18of them is exactly the one at this end
  272. 12:20here, which is nine. And what is the
  273. 12:23smallest number in this list? It is the
  274. 12:25one exactly at the other end, which is
  275. 12:28one. After all, this list contains the
  276. 12:30numbers exactly from 1 to nine. Thus,
  277. 12:33to maximize the value of the number
  278. 12:35that I will place at the end of the
  279. 12:37list after performing the first step, I
  280. 12:39just need to subtract the smallest from
  281. 12:41the largest number in the initial list,
  282. 12:43in this case, 9-1. And the largest
  283. 12:46number that can be written is 9-1,
  284. 12:48which is 8. Therefore, this is the
  285. 12:52largest possible value to place at the
  286. 12:54end of this list. Item B. After the
  287. 12:58first step, can the list have exactly
  288. 13:00four odd numbers? Justify your answer.
  289. 13:04Let's observe how many odd numbers we
  290. 13:06have in our list after each step.
  291. 13:09Initially, before performing step one,
  292. 13:11we have five odd numbers in the list,
  293. 13:14right? 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Let's write
  294. 13:19this in the corner so we don't forget.
  295. 13:21Before step one, we have five odd
  296. 13:23numbers. Now, after performing step one
  297. 13:26, following the sequence described here
  298. 13:28in the notebook, let's see how many odd
  299. 13:30numbers are left. We have 1, 2, and 3
  300. 13:33left, right? 1, 5, and 9. So now we
  301. 13:36have exactly three odd numbers. After
  302. 13:40performing one more step, notice that 1
  303. 13:43, 5, and the other one remain, so there
  304. 13:45are three odd numbers. In the next
  305. 13:49stage, after the following step, 1, 5,
  306. 13:51and the other remain, so there are
  307. 13:53still three odd numbers. What can we
  308. 13:57observe in common after performing each
  309. 13:59of these steps? Look here, the amount
  310. 14:02of odd numbers I have after performing
  311. 14:05each step is always odd. Here it was
  312. 14:08initially five, then it went to three,
  313. 14:10and stayed at three. And will it always
  314. 14:13stay at three or will it decrease, but
  315. 14:15could it decrease to two? Let's see.
  316. 14:18Let's try to think about a certain step
  317. 14:20four. When I'm taking step four, those
  318. 14:23numbers can be even or odd. Look here,
  319. 14:27if I chose two odd numbers, then I'll
  320. 14:29remove two odds here, suppose 5 and 3,
  321. 14:31I removed those two odds, and I will
  322. 14:34replace them with the difference.
  323. 14:36However, the difference between two odd
  324. 14:39numbers is always even. So only one odd
  325. 14:42number will remain, which is one. On
  326. 14:44the other hand, if I had the difference
  327. 14:47between an even and an odd number, the
  328. 14:49difference will always be an odd number
  329. 14:51. Look up here. 9-0, an odd minus an
  330. 14:54even, will result in an odd. So, the
  331. 14:57quantity of odd numbers will be
  332. 14:59maintained. So, it either stays the
  333. 15:01same or it decreases by two. Since the
  334. 15:05initial quantity of numbers was odd,
  335. 15:07then this quantity will always be odd.
  336. 15:10And four is an even number. Therefore,
  337. 15:13it is impossible for us to have exactly
  338. 15:16four odd numbers, because the number of
  339. 15:18odd numbers in the list is always odd.
  340. 15:22In summary, the answer is no, because
  341. 15:24the quantity of odd numbers in the list
  342. 15:26after each step is always odd,
  343. 15:28precisely because of these little rules
  344. 15:30here. Even minus even is even, even
  345. 15:33minus odd is odd. Odd minus even is odd
  346. 15:36. Odd minus odd is always even. Item C.
  347. 15:39Explain why the number that remains at
  348. 15:42the end of the game is always odd.
  349. 15:44Let's adopt the same strategy we
  350. 15:46thought of in the previous item,
  351. 15:47thinking about the parity of the
  352. 15:49numbers. We already know that in each
  353. 15:52of the lists after the step, the
  354. 15:54quantity of odd numbers is always odd,
  355. 15:56precisely because of these little rules
  356. 15:59here, that when I subtract two even
  357. 16:01numbers, the result is even. Even minus
  358. 16:04odd gives odd, odd minus even also
  359. 16:06gives odd. Or if I subtract two odd
  360. 16:09numbers, the result will be even. So,
  361. 16:12after I perform any number of steps, I
  362. 16:14know that since there is a quantity of
  363. 16:17odd numbers left, I will never be able
  364. 16:20to end up with an even quantity of odd
  365. 16:23numbers. And at the end of the game,
  366. 16:26exactly one number will remain. Well,
  367. 16:29one is an odd number, so I would need
  368. 16:32to ensure that at this stage of the
  369. 16:35game I had an odd number of odd numbers
  370. 16:39. If I only have one number, this
  371. 16:42number will need to be odd, because I
  372. 16:44always need to have either five or
  373. 16:46three or one. I must always have an odd
  374. 16:49quantity of odd numbers. And if this
  375. 16:52number were not odd, it would be even.
  376. 16:55But if this remaining number is even,
  377. 16:57in this list I will have zero odd
  378. 16:58numbers, and I cannot have an even
  379. 17:00quantity of odd numbers. Thus, we have
  380. 17:03just discovered that since at each step
  381. 17:06there is always an odd quantity of odd
  382. 17:08numbers, it is impossible that at least
  383. 17:10one odd number does not remain after
  384. 17:12any step, because this quantity of odd
  385. 17:14numbers cannot be even. And if the
  386. 17:16number that remained were, for example,
  387. 17:18two, then the quantity of odd numbers
  388. 17:20that I have in this list, which only
  389. 17:22has the two, is zero. And this cannot
  390. 17:24happen. Therefore, the number in the
  391. 17:26last step must be odd. And this
  392. 17:28justification concludes this question.
  393. 17:34Each of the three squares below has
  394. 17:37sides measuring 6 cm and was divided
  395. 17:39into regions of equal area. Item A.
  396. 17:42What is the length X? Observe that the
  397. 17:46square was divided exactly into four
  398. 17:48figures, being two central squares here
  399. 17:51and two rectangular strips here in the
  400. 17:53corners. The problem statement told us
  401. 17:56that the side measurement of the square
  402. 17:59is 6 cm. See then that since we have a
  403. 18:03square, the side measurements of a
  404. 18:04square are always the same. Therefore,
  405. 18:07if this measures x, it means that this
  406. 18:09piece here also measures x. And by the
  407. 18:11geometry of the question, we know that
  408. 18:13this bottom part is a square equal to
  409. 18:15this one here. So, this piece here also
  410. 18:18measures X. Since this here is a
  411. 18:20rectangle, it means that the sum of
  412. 18:22these two segments corresponds to 6 cm.
  413. 18:26Thus, this means that 6 corresponds to
  414. 18:292x and so the x is equivalent to 6/2,
  415. 18:32which is 3 cm. And this is the value of
  416. 18:37length x, 3 cm. And this concludes this
  417. 18:40item here. Item B. What is length Y?
  418. 18:44Now the figure has been subdivided into
  419. 18:47three rectangles. We know that this
  420. 18:50square has a side measuring 6 cm. And
  421. 18:54that means the total area of the square
  422. 18:57is 6² = 36 cm². Since the regions
  423. 19:01into which the square was subdivided
  424. 19:04have the same area. And here we have
  425. 19:07three regions. Each of these regions
  426. 19:10measures 36/3, which corresponds to 12
  427. 19:15cm². Knowing this, observe that down
  428. 19:20here we have that this measure is 6 cm,
  429. 19:23but it also corresponds to these two
  430. 19:26halves, and each half is a side of the
  431. 19:29rectangle. So we know that since this
  432. 19:33piece here is equal to this one and the
  433. 19:35sum of these two pieces is six, this
  434. 19:37little piece measures 3 cm and this one
  435. 19:39also measures 3 cm. But we already know
  436. 19:44that this rectangle here has a total
  437. 19:46area of 12. After all, each of these
  438. 19:51parts has exactly 12 cm² of area.
  439. 19:54Therefore, to calculate the area of
  440. 19:57this rectangle, I do 3 x y, I do the
  441. 19:59length times the width, and that equals
  442. 20:0212 cm². Thus, we just discovered that
  443. 20:073y = 12. And solving this equation, we
  444. 20:11discover that y is 12/3, which equals 4
  445. 20:14cm. So, we just discovered that length
  446. 20:19Y is 4 cm, which concludes this item B.
  447. 20:22Item C. What is length Z? Now we have
  448. 20:27that our square has been subdivided
  449. 20:30into one rectangle here, two trapezoids
  450. 20:32, and a triangle. Let's gather once
  451. 20:36again the information we already know
  452. 20:38about this situation here. Since the
  453. 20:42side of our square measures exactly 6
  454. 20:45cm, its area is 6² = 36 cm². We also
  455. 20:51know that each of these parts here into
  456. 20:54which the square was subdivided has
  457. 20:56equal areas. Thus, since we have four
  458. 21:01regions, this means that each one
  459. 21:04measures exactly 36/4, which
  460. 21:06corresponds to 9 cm². Let's now take a
  461. 21:11look at the two trapezoids in this
  462. 21:14division of our square. Let's look at
  463. 21:17this trapezoid down here. How do we go
  464. 21:21about calculating the area of a
  465. 21:22trapezoid? If we have a measurement of
  466. 21:25a base, let's consider the trapezoid
  467. 21:27looking from below, that this measure
  468. 21:29of one base is the larger base. This
  469. 21:32small piece here is the smaller base.
  470. 21:35This part here is the height. To
  471. 21:38calculate the area of a trapezoid,
  472. 21:41let's say that for this green trapezoid
  473. 21:43here, the smaller base is b1 and the
  474. 21:45larger base is B1. We need to add the
  475. 21:50measurements of the two bases, that is,
  476. 21:54take big B1 + small b1, multiply the
  477. 21:57whole value by h, and divide the result
  478. 22:01by 2. This will be the formula for the
  479. 22:05area of this green trapezoid. We
  480. 22:09already know that the value of this
  481. 22:12area corresponds to, consequently, this
  482. 22:16means that big B1 + small b1 times this
  483. 22:20height h must be equal to 2 x 9, which
  484. 22:24is 18. But now we have three variables,
  485. 22:29right? Big B1, small b1, and h. And we
  486. 22:32haven't the slightest idea what the
  487. 22:34value of each one is. So let's look at
  488. 22:37the other trapezoid in this figure to
  489. 22:40see if we can get more information. Now
  490. 22:43that we have two pieces of information
  491. 22:46relating the bases and heights of these
  492. 22:49two trapezoids, let's try to find a way
  493. 22:52to relate their base measurements,
  494. 22:55precisely to try and find a way to
  495. 22:57determine the value of Z. What do we
  496. 23:00know? Notice that according to the
  497. 23:05figure, we know that the sum of the big
  498. 23:09base B1 + the big base B2 must be
  499. 23:12equivalent to 6. After all, this
  500. 23:16segment, this piece here, this region
  501. 23:18is precisely a rectangle. So, if this
  502. 23:21piece measures six, it means that this
  503. 23:23one measures six as well. And in the
  504. 23:26same way, we know that if I add small
  505. 23:30b1 with my value of Z, which I want to
  506. 23:34discover, with my small b2, this sum
  507. 23:37here must also result in 6. I had also
  508. 23:42already discovered that big B1 + small
  509. 23:45b1, if I move the h to divide,
  510. 23:48corresponds to 18/h, which is the same
  511. 23:51as big B2 + small b2. If we could find
  512. 23:55the value of h, we would know exactly
  513. 23:57what the sum of big B1 with small b1,
  514. 24:00and big B2 with small b2 is. To find
  515. 24:04this value, let's look at this
  516. 24:06rectangle here. This rectangle contains
  517. 24:11exactly two side measurements, one
  518. 24:13being six and the other measuring h.
  519. 24:18This, in other words, means that the
  520. 24:20area of this rectangle is 6 x h. But
  521. 24:24this rectangle corresponds exactly to
  522. 24:27the sum of the area of three regions of
  523. 24:30my larger pink square. Since each of
  524. 24:33these regions we had already seen is
  525. 24:36worth 9 cm² in area, it means the
  526. 24:39total area of this rectangle is 3 x 9,
  527. 24:4227. From that, we can discover that the
  528. 24:46value of h/6, which is 4.5. And if h is
  529. 24:544.5, it means that this sum of big B2
  530. 24:57with small b2 and big B1 with small b1
  531. 25:01corresponds to 18/4.5, which is the
  532. 25:04same as 36/9, which corresponds to 4.
  533. 25:09So we have now discovered the value of
  534. 25:12these two sums. Our goal with the
  535. 25:15question is to find the value of Z.
  536. 25:17Note that here I have the sum of the
  537. 25:20big B1 with big B2, small b1 with small
  538. 25:22b2, and with z. If I add these two
  539. 25:28equations here, I will get the sum of
  540. 25:31big B1 with big B2 plus small b1 plus
  541. 25:35small b2 plus the value of Z. All this
  542. 25:39results in 6 + 6, which is 12. But up
  543. 25:44here, I also already know how much big
  544. 25:47B1 + small b1 is worth and how much big
  545. 25:49B2 + small b2 is worth. If I substitute
  546. 25:52here, only the value of Z will be
  547. 25:55missing. So look, big B1 + small b1 is
  548. 25:58worth 4. And big B2 + small b2 is also
  549. 26:02worth 4. This means, in other words,
  550. 26:06that the sum of big B1 + big B2 + small
  551. 26:09b1 + small b2 is 2 x 4, which is 8.
  552. 26:13This means that 8 + z corresponds to 12
  553. 26:17. And in this way, we have just
  554. 26:21concluded that Z is 12-8, which is 4 cm
  555. 26:24. And this is the value of the length Z
  556. 26:28that we wanted, which finishes this
  557. 26:29question here. Gabriela covers
  558. 26:36triangular boards and rectangular
  559. 26:39boards with L-shaped pieces, formed by
  560. 26:42three small squares equal to the
  561. 26:44squares of the board, without
  562. 26:46overlapping. She has enough pieces to
  563. 26:51cover boards of any size. So, we have
  564. 26:55here the L-shaped pieces and some of
  565. 26:58the boards that Gabriela assembled, a
  566. 27:00square board, a rectangular one, and a
  567. 27:03triangular board. And it asks to show
  568. 27:07how Gabriela can cover a triangular
  569. 27:08board with a base of eight. First, note
  570. 27:12that it is called base eight because
  571. 27:15here at the bottom I form the board
  572. 27:17with exactly eight small squares. The
  573. 27:21problem statement already shows us how
  574. 27:24to fill the triangular board, but with
  575. 27:27a base of six. So, I already know how
  576. 27:30to do this part here. I can then think
  577. 27:33about how to fill and complete the one
  578. 27:35with a base of eight. So, if I take the
  579. 27:39one with a base of six, placing it here
  580. 27:42on top, note that exactly these two
  581. 27:45rows down here will be missing. And we
  582. 27:48also already know how to assemble a
  583. 27:51rectangular row. The problem statement
  584. 27:53also shows us this. And if we join it
  585. 27:56with an L-shaped piece here in the
  586. 27:58corner, we will be able to make these
  587. 28:00two missing rows. So, with the
  588. 28:04triangular board of side six, we can
  589. 28:06assemble this upper part in red. With
  590. 28:10the rectangle that Gabriela made, we
  591. 28:12can assemble this part in blue. And to
  592. 28:16complete the triangular board of base
  593. 28:18eight, just add an L-shaped piece here
  594. 28:20in green. And this is one way to fill
  595. 28:24Gabriela's board as we wanted. Item B.
  596. 28:28Explain why Gabriela will never be able
  597. 28:30to cover a triangular board of base
  598. 28:33seven. We have already seen how to fill
  599. 28:36a triangular board of base six. The
  600. 28:39figure is already in the problem
  601. 28:40statement for us. If I want a figure of
  602. 28:43base seven, notice that I would need to
  603. 28:46add one more row down here. However,
  604. 28:50our L-shaped piece, regardless of the
  605. 28:53position I place it in, will always
  606. 28:55occupy two rows or two columns of my
  607. 28:58board figure, because it has those two
  608. 29:01little ends, one pointing here and the
  609. 29:04other pointing there. So, regardless of
  610. 29:08how I set up the configuration, you
  611. 29:11could say to me, right? But I could not
  612. 29:13use the initial configuration that was
  613. 29:15given in the statement. I could, for
  614. 29:17example, take an L-shape and do it from
  615. 29:19the bottom up here. So, if I did that,
  616. 29:22notice that at any moment I would
  617. 29:24always have something missing; since I
  618. 29:27have an odd number of squares here, I
  619. 29:30would always only be able to complete
  620. 29:32an even number or multiples of three.
  621. 29:36Since seven is neither even nor a
  622. 29:38multiple of three, I cannot complete it
  623. 29:40if I think from top to bottom. That is
  624. 29:44why in this case I cannot complete the
  625. 29:47triangular board if it has seven rows.
  626. 29:52But besides this geometric
  627. 29:53justification, notice also that there
  628. 29:55is another justification that is even
  629. 29:57easier, an arithmetic one. A triangular
  630. 30:01board that has base seven will have a
  631. 30:03total, if we add one square in the
  632. 30:06first row, two in the second, three in
  633. 30:09the third, and so on, totaling 28
  634. 30:11squares. And the L-shaped pieces that
  635. 30:15Gabriela has, all of them have exactly
  636. 30:18three squares. Oops, 28 is not
  637. 30:21divisible by three. So it is impossible
  638. 30:25for us to cover the board using only
  639. 30:27L-shaped pieces, where each one of them
  640. 30:29occupies exactly three squares. If I
  641. 30:32completed as much as possible,
  642. 30:35eventually I would complete 27 squares
  643. 30:37and one would be missing, precisely
  644. 30:40because 28 is not divisible by 3. So
  645. 30:43this is another justification that is
  646. 30:45based on the number of squares that the
  647. 30:47triangular board of base seven has. And
  648. 30:50on the number of squares that the
  649. 30:52L-shaped figure Gabriela uses also has.
  650. 30:56Both justifications are valid for
  651. 30:58answering this item. Item C. Explain
  652. 31:01why Gabriela can always cover a
  653. 31:03triangular board with a base of 6k for
  654. 31:06any k equal to 1, 2, or 3. Let's try to
  655. 31:10interpret this formula first. When I
  656. 31:12talk about a board with the formula 6
  657. 31:15times k, I mean that this value of k
  658. 31:18can take on any of those numbers. So,
  659. 31:20if k equals 1, I'm thinking of a
  660. 31:22triangular board with a base of 6. If k
  661. 31:25equals 2, I'm thinking of a board with
  662. 31:28a base of 6 times 2, which is 12. If
  663. 31:31the base is 3, I think of a base of 6
  664. 31:33times 3, 18. And so on. We've already
  665. 31:38seen in the problem statement how we
  666. 31:39are given how to assemble the
  667. 31:41triangular board with a base of six.
  668. 31:45Now, can we assemble a board with a
  669. 31:46base of 12 starting from the base-six
  670. 31:49board? In the statement, besides the
  671. 31:53base-six board, we are also shown how
  672. 31:56to cover a square board with a base of
  673. 31:58six. So, if I take this square board
  674. 32:02with a base of six and join it with two
  675. 32:04triangles, two triangular boards with a
  676. 32:07base of six, couldn't I form a
  677. 32:09triangular board with a base of 12?
  678. 32:12Look at what will happen. We will then
  679. 32:15have two triangular boards here with a
  680. 32:17base of six, which I've placed here in
  681. 32:20red, and one square board with a base
  682. 32:22of six here in green. And together,
  683. 32:26they will form a triangular board whose
  684. 32:29base measures six here and six here as
  685. 32:32well, resulting in 12. Thus, from a
  686. 32:36base-six board, I can assemble one with
  687. 32:39a base of 12 just by joining two
  688. 32:41triangular boards with a base of six
  689. 32:44and one square board with a base of six
  690. 32:47. I already know how to assemble those
  691. 32:50two. The statement itself shows me how
  692. 32:53to do this using the L-shaped pieces.
  693. 32:56But what if I wanted to make the
  694. 32:57triangular board with a base of 18 now?
  695. 33:01I just need to follow the same tune. I
  696. 33:03take two triangular boards with a base
  697. 33:06of 12, which I now know how to make.
  698. 33:09And for what is missing, I fill it in
  699. 33:12with square boards with a base of six.
  700. 33:15In the case of 12, I will need to use
  701. 33:17exactly four of them. And following
  702. 33:20this same reasoning, I have the
  703. 33:22following method to fill a triangular
  704. 33:24board with a base of 6k. When I am at
  705. 33:27step k, I just need to join two
  706. 33:29triangular boards with a base of 6 (k-1
  707. 33:32) to make the corners. And in the
  708. 33:36middle, I join (k-1) ² square boards
  709. 33:38with a base of six. The circles in the
  710. 33:45diagram below must be filled with the
  711. 33:48numbers 1, 2, or 3, one number in each
  712. 33:51circle, so that circles connected by a
  713. 33:53segment have different numbers. The
  714. 33:57figure to the side shows one possible
  715. 33:59way to fill the diagram. We have here
  716. 34:02the diagram with the five circles
  717. 34:03filled with numbers according to the
  718. 34:05problem's constraints. Let's move on to
  719. 34:07the items. Item A: Complete the diagram
  720. 34:11below with a possible correct matching.
  721. 34:14Let's first recall what the rules are
  722. 34:16for filling in this diagram. The
  723. 34:20problem tells us that whenever there is
  724. 34:22a line connecting two circles, these
  725. 34:25two circles must have different numbers
  726. 34:27. Furthermore, we know that each circle
  727. 34:32must contain exactly one number between
  728. 34:351, 2, and 3, only these. Thus, if, for
  729. 34:39example, in this connection that I
  730. 34:41filled in red, if I have the number one
  731. 34:44at the top, it means I cannot have one
  732. 34:47at the bottom; I can only have two or
  733. 34:50three, because circles connected by a
  734. 34:52segment cannot have the same numbers.
  735. 34:56But besides that, this ball here in the
  736. 34:59center is also connected to the top
  737. 35:01ball here, which has the number two
  738. 35:04fixed. This means that this ball cannot
  739. 35:07receive the number one nor the number
  740. 35:09two. Now, since we must fill it with
  741. 35:13the numbers one, two, or three, only
  742. 35:14the number three is left for me to
  743. 35:16place here. And note that the same
  744. 35:20reasoning applies to all the balls here
  745. 35:22at the bottom. Look here, for example,
  746. 35:26at this ball; it is also connected to
  747. 35:27the ball with number one and the ball
  748. 35:29with number two. So here it can only be
  749. 35:33three, and repeating the same tune on
  750. 35:36this end, it connects to ball two and
  751. 35:38connects to ball one. So here we can
  752. 35:42only place the three. So we almost have
  753. 35:45our entire diagram filled out. This
  754. 35:47ball here is missing. So this ball
  755. 35:50cannot have the same number as any
  756. 35:52connection. Since the connection it is
  757. 35:55making is with these three bottom balls
  758. 35:58, which we know necessarily need to
  759. 36:00have the digit three, we can choose
  760. 36:02either one or two to place here. This
  761. 36:07means that to complete the diagram, we
  762. 36:09have these two possibilities here. In
  763. 36:13both, the bottom part must be three. In
  764. 36:16this circle up here, we can put one or
  765. 36:18two. And this finishes this item here.
  766. 36:22Item B. In how many ways is it possible
  767. 36:24to correctly fill out the diagram below
  768. 36:27? Let's adopt the same strategy we
  769. 36:29thought of in item A. Initially, we
  770. 36:31have three numbers to place. One, one,
  771. 36:34two, or three. Imagine, for example,
  772. 36:36that I am going to place the one here.
  773. 36:39According to the rule, we know that the
  774. 36:41number here and the number here cannot
  775. 36:43be one either, because there is a
  776. 36:45connection between the two circles. So,
  777. 36:48neither here nor here can it be one.
  778. 36:50Therefore, I can put two or three. In
  779. 36:53what order can I place them? It will
  780. 36:55depend on the number I place here. If
  781. 36:58this number is also one, let's start by
  782. 37:00thinking about that. If the two numbers
  783. 37:03up here are equal, them being equal
  784. 37:06guarantees that I will have the freedom
  785. 37:08to choose the others down here. Because
  786. 37:11look, if, for example, I chose one here
  787. 37:14and one here, I can put either two or
  788. 37:16three here. Or I can put three or two
  789. 37:20here. I can also put just the two and
  790. 37:22leave the three out. Or also put just
  791. 37:25the three and leave the two out. I will
  792. 37:28have two possibilities to choose a
  793. 37:30number here, which can be two or three,
  794. 37:33and also two possibilities to choose
  795. 37:35the two or three here. total. So I will
  796. 37:38have 2 x 2, four possibilities if I
  797. 37:42choose the same number to put here. In
  798. 37:45this case, I chose one, but I could
  799. 37:48choose two to put here. If I put two
  800. 37:50here, then it will be the same story
  801. 37:52here. The only change is that I will be
  802. 37:54able to put one and three, or one and
  803. 37:56three here. This means that if the two
  804. 38:00numbers up here are equal, for each
  805. 38:02choice of two equal numbers up here, I
  806. 38:05have four possibilities to choose
  807. 38:07numbers down here. So, what numbers can
  808. 38:11I choose up here? one, two, and three.
  809. 38:14So I have three options here below.
  810. 38:16Then I can put the remaining number
  811. 38:18here. For example, if I put one here,
  812. 38:21two and three, here two and three, we
  813. 38:22have a total of four possibilities here
  814. 38:24. Since these choices are independent,
  815. 38:28we have a total of 3 x 4, which equals
  816. 38:3112 possibilities, if the two numbers up
  817. 38:34here are the same. However, what
  818. 38:37happens if the numbers here are not the
  819. 38:40same? Let's calculate the possibilities
  820. 38:42with different numbers. If we have
  821. 38:45different numbers up here, for example,
  822. 38:47let's start by thinking about one and
  823. 38:49two. Notice that since each circle down
  824. 38:52here is connected to the two above, see
  825. 38:55, this one is connected to this one and
  826. 38:57this one. And this one is also
  827. 38:59connected to this one and this one. The
  828. 39:00numbers down here cannot be one or two.
  829. 39:03So what will be left? the three for it.
  830. 39:05And here, only the three will be left
  831. 39:07as well. This means that given a choice
  832. 39:11of two distinct numbers up here, the
  833. 39:13choice below is fixed. So, I just need
  834. 39:17to count how many ways I can make the
  835. 39:19choice up here. So, for each choice of
  836. 39:22two numbers to put up here, for example
  837. 39:24, one and two, I have two possibilities
  838. 39:26. I can put one here and two here, or I
  839. 39:29can put two here and one here. And so,
  840. 39:31what choices do I have? I can put one
  841. 39:34and two, I can put two and three, or I
  842. 39:36can put three and one. I then have
  843. 39:39three choice options here. For each of
  844. 39:42these three options, I can place them
  845. 39:44in two different orders. In total, then
  846. 39:47, I have 3 x 2, which is six
  847. 39:49possibilities, if the top numbers are
  848. 39:52different. Therefore, we conclude that
  849. 39:55in total there are 12 possibilities to
  850. 39:57fill this diagram with identical
  851. 39:59numbers on top. six possibilities with
  852. 40:03different numbers on top, which results
  853. 40:05in 12 + 6, 18 possibilities. And these
  854. 40:09possibilities can be listed here. Note
  855. 40:12that in these first 12 options here, I
  856. 40:15have the top numbers as identical, and
  857. 40:17in these other six options, the top
  858. 40:20numbers are different. And these are
  859. 40:22the 18 possibilities to solve and fill
  860. 40:25in the diagram presented in the item.
  861. 40:28Item C. In how many ways is it possible
  862. 40:31to correctly fill in the diagram below?
  863. 40:34Let's start with the simplest case,
  864. 40:36pretending that all the numbers in the
  865. 40:38sequence above are the same. For
  866. 40:41example, if we place only ones in these
  867. 40:44three circles up here, look below: I
  868. 40:46can no longer place a one, but I am
  869. 40:49free to place either two or three in
  870. 40:51any of these four circles. A two or
  871. 40:54three can go here, a two or three here,
  872. 40:57and so on. This means that I have two
  873. 41:00possibilities for this circle, two for
  874. 41:02this one, two for this one, and two for
  875. 41:04this one in total. This means I will
  876. 41:08have 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, which is 2 to the
  877. 41:11power of 4, that is, 16 possibilities
  878. 41:15for each choice of identical numbers I
  879. 41:18make up here. Wait, I can choose here 1
  880. 41:231 1, 2 2 2, or 3 3 3; here I have three
  881. 41:26possibilities, and each of these three
  882. 41:29possibilities generates 16 fillings.
  883. 41:33Therefore, the total number of
  884. 41:35possibilities in this case is 3 x 16,
  885. 41:37which is 48. Indeed, we can set up a
  886. 41:40small table where we place the sequence
  887. 41:43above with identical digits, right?
  888. 41:46Here we have 1 1 and the respective 16
  889. 41:48sequences at the bottom for each of the
  890. 41:51selected top sequences. In this table,
  891. 41:55it is much easier to see that the total
  892. 41:57number of possibilities is three,
  893. 42:00because I have three top sequences
  894. 42:02times 16 possibilities for bottom
  895. 42:04sequences, which equals 48. Now that we
  896. 42:08know what happens when the sequences
  897. 42:10have the same numbers. Let's think
  898. 42:14about what occurs when I have at least
  899. 42:16two different numbers at the top. In
  900. 42:19this situation, imagine I place a one
  901. 42:21here and a different number here in the
  902. 42:23middle, a two, for example. Since each
  903. 42:26of the four bottom circles is connected
  904. 42:28to these two circles, I cannot place a
  905. 42:31one or a two here. Thus, only the three
  906. 42:34remains to be placed. This means that
  907. 42:37once I have chosen two numbers up here
  908. 42:39in this part, the bottom number will be
  909. 42:42fully defined as the only number that
  910. 42:44has not yet appeared. So, given a
  911. 42:48choice of two numbers to place here, we
  912. 42:50will have only one possibility for the
  913. 42:53bottom sequence, which is the only
  914. 42:55number that did not appear at the top.
  915. 42:58We can place ones and twos in these
  916. 43:00three circles here. Thus, we have a
  917. 43:03total of 2 x 2 x 2, which corresponds
  918. 43:07to 2³, which is eight possibilities.
  919. 43:10However, see here in this count, I am
  920. 43:13considering the positions where I have
  921. 43:161 1 1 and 2 2 2. These are situations I
  922. 43:19have already calculated in the previous
  923. 43:22case. So I need to subtract these two
  924. 43:24cases where I have only one number,
  925. 43:27which would be 1 1 1 or 2 2 2. In this
  926. 43:30way, this means there are a total of
  927. 43:33six possibilities for matching the
  928. 43:35diagram once I have chosen two numbers
  929. 43:38from one to three to fill the top. And
  930. 43:41in how many ways can I fill this top
  931. 43:43part? Well, if I have the numbers one,
  932. 43:47two, and three, I can choose either
  933. 43:49numbers one and two, or choose two and
  934. 43:52three, or even choose one and three. In
  935. 43:56total, we have three possibilities.
  936. 43:58Each of these three possibilities for
  937. 44:00choosing the numbers here in the top
  938. 44:02sequence will generate six fillings.
  939. 44:05Thus, the total number of possibilities
  940. 44:07is 6 x 3 = 18. And in the same way, as
  941. 44:11we did before, we can set up a table.
  942. 44:14Notice now that it is the bottom
  943. 44:17sequence that will have all the circles
  944. 44:20with the same numbers, either 1 1 1 or
  945. 44:242 2 2 or 3, and in total, therefore, 3
  946. 44:28x 6 possibilities, 18 as we had
  947. 44:31observed. Now, it remains to check what
  948. 44:34happens if I were to place three
  949. 44:36different numbers at the top. For
  950. 44:38example, 1, 2, and 3. In this situation
  951. 44:41, it would be impossible to fill in the
  952. 44:43rest of the diagram, because down here
  953. 44:45I wouldn't be able to put 1, 2, or 3.
  954. 44:48And the problem statement forces us to
  955. 44:50use one of these three digits to fill
  956. 44:52in the circles. Thus, there are no more
  957. 44:55possibilities left for us to check.
  958. 44:57Therefore, this means we have 48
  959. 45:00possibilities if the top numbers are
  960. 45:03equal, plus 18 possibilities if we have
  961. 45:06two equal numbers on top and one
  962. 45:09different. Or, in other words, if the
  963. 45:12numbers on the bottom line are equal.
  964. 45:15And in total, this results in 48 + 18,
  965. 45:19which is 66 possibilities. A set of
  966. 45:26non-zero digits is called a "quadruplex
  967. 45:29" when the quadruple of one of its
  968. 45:31elements is equal to the sum of all the
  969. 45:33others. For example, 2 3 5, 2 4 6 8,
  970. 45:38and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 are quadruplexes.
  971. 45:43Item A. Find a quadruplex set with five
  972. 45:46elements. We first need to observe that
  973. 45:50a quadruplex set is composed only of
  974. 45:53single-digit numbers. Thus, we know it
  975. 45:57is composed of digits from 1 or 2 or 3
  976. 46:01up to 9. So the largest quadruplex we
  977. 46:04can have is the very one given in the
  978. 46:07problem, which has exactly nine
  979. 46:10elements. Let's now understand what
  980. 46:12this quadruplex property actually is.
  981. 46:14For example, 2 3 5 is a quadruplex
  982. 46:17because if I take 2 and multiply it by
  983. 46:204, it equals the sum of 3 and 5. Here
  984. 46:23it is the same thing. If I choose 4 to
  985. 46:26multiply by 4, it equals the sum of 2,
  986. 46:296, and 8. So, to think of a quadruplex
  987. 46:33set with five elements, I could take,
  988. 46:36for example, the first five natural
  989. 46:38numbers and test if they form a
  990. 46:40quadruplex set. This is a quadruplex
  991. 46:46set, because I can take, for example,
  992. 46:49the element 3 and calculate 4 x 3,
  993. 46:53which is 12, and 12 corresponds exactly
  994. 46:57to the sum of 1 + 2 + 4 + 5, which are
  995. 47:00the other four elements of this set. So
  996. 47:05this one, 1 2 3 4 5, is an example of a
  997. 47:08quadruplex set with five elements, but
  998. 47:11you could show many other examples. In
  999. 47:15total, we have 15 quadruplex sets with
  1000. 47:17five elements, which are these ones
  1001. 47:20shown here. The simplest one of them,
  1002. 47:22obviously, is 1 2 3 4 5. Or we could
  1003. 47:25also think in reverse and put 5 6 7 8 9
  1004. 47:28. So, just choose your favorite
  1005. 47:31quadruple-set from these 15. And it
  1006. 47:34serves as the solution for this item.
  1007. 47:38Item B. Explain why the sum of the
  1008. 47:40elements of a quadruple-set is always a
  1009. 47:42multiple of five. Let's take that
  1010. 47:45example from our previous set. I chose
  1011. 47:47a certain element. In this case, I
  1012. 47:50picked three. Let's assume I don't know
  1013. 47:53that it's three that I picked, and
  1014. 47:55let's say this element I chose is X.
  1015. 47:57What does the property of a set being
  1016. 47:59quadruple tell us? If I take this
  1017. 48:03number here, which is my x, and
  1018. 48:05multiply this x by 4, the result
  1019. 48:08corresponds to the sum of all the rest
  1020. 48:11of the elements. So, if I add this one
  1021. 48:15to this, this, and this, the result is
  1022. 48:194x. But, what is the sum of these
  1023. 48:22elements here? The sum of all elements
  1024. 48:25would be equivalent to the total sum of
  1025. 48:28the set, which I will call capital S,
  1026. 48:31minus X, which was the one I chose to
  1027. 48:33multiply by 4. Notice that in the
  1028. 48:37example, the sum of the five numbers
  1029. 48:38was 15. I chose x = 3. How much was
  1030. 48:42left? 15-3 = 12. So, the sum would be
  1031. 48:4615 and my x in this example would be 3.
  1032. 48:49And 15-3, which is 12, is exactly 4 x 3
  1033. 48:53. In other words, 4x is equivalent to
  1034. 48:56the total sum of the numbers minus x.
  1035. 48:59If I move x to the other side here,
  1036. 49:02since it's subtracting, I move it
  1037. 49:05adding, I will obtain that the sum of
  1038. 49:08all numbers corresponds to 4x + x,
  1039. 49:11which corresponds to 5x. And 5x is
  1040. 49:16exactly a multiple of five. Therefore,
  1041. 49:19we have just concluded that the sum of
  1042. 49:22all numbers in the quadruple-set is
  1043. 49:25five times something, that is, it is
  1044. 49:28always a multiple of five. But this is
  1045. 49:31not just any multiple of five; it is
  1046. 49:33the multiple of five obtained with the
  1047. 49:35number we chose to get the
  1048. 49:37quadruple-set. In this case here, I
  1049. 49:40chose three, which would be X. Item C.
  1050. 49:43Find a quadruple-set with eight
  1051. 49:45elements. As a quadruple-set, the
  1052. 49:48maximum number of elements it can have
  1053. 49:51is nine, which would be the
  1054. 49:52quadruple-set from the prompt, which is
  1055. 49:55precisely this one appearing here, to
  1056. 49:57obtain a quadruple-set with eight
  1057. 49:59elements, we just need to remove one of
  1058. 50:02these digits here. However, we saw in
  1059. 50:05item B that the sum of the elements of
  1060. 50:08a quadruple-set is always a multiple of
  1061. 50:11five. In this case here, by adding all
  1062. 50:14the numbers from 1 to, I will obtain
  1063. 50:16the sum 45. So I need to remove one
  1064. 50:20digit here, and the resulting sum must
  1065. 50:22continue to be a multiple of five,
  1066. 50:25otherwise the set obtained will not be
  1067. 50:27quadruplex. And among the digits from 1
  1068. 50:31to 9, the only one that is a multiple
  1069. 50:33of five is five itself. This means that
  1070. 50:36starting from the quadruplex set with
  1071. 50:39nine elements, to obtain one with eight
  1072. 50:41elements, the only one I could
  1073. 50:43eliminate would be five. Therefore, a
  1074. 50:47quadruplex set with eight elements
  1075. 50:49corresponds to 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9, that is
  1076. 50:52, just by removing five. And with this
  1077. 50:56reasoning, we can actually see that
  1078. 50:59this is the only quadruplex set with
  1079. 51:01eight elements, precisely because the
  1080. 51:03sum of all elements must be a multiple
  1081. 51:06of five. Item D. Explain why there are
  1082. 51:10only six quadruplex sets with seven
  1083. 51:13elements. Imagine that from my set of
  1084. 51:17numbers from one to nine, I will choose
  1085. 51:19two of them to remove. So, suppose I
  1086. 51:23choose A and B. The sum of all numbers
  1087. 51:27in this quadruplex set will correspond
  1088. 51:31to 45-a-b. But because this set is
  1089. 51:36quadruplex, this means that this here,
  1090. 51:39which is the sum of the elements of my
  1091. 51:42set, actually corresponds to five times
  1092. 51:45x, which is an element that is part of
  1093. 51:49my quadruplex. In other words, if I
  1094. 51:53move this A and B by adding them to one
  1095. 51:56side, and subtract this five, the sum
  1096. 51:58of the digits that I have to remove
  1097. 52:01from the set of digits from 1 to 9, for
  1098. 52:04what remains to be a quadruplex set,
  1099. 52:06corresponds exactly to 45-5 x. Then,
  1100. 52:12since 45 is a multiple of 5, I can
  1101. 52:15factor out the 5 here, and write this
  1102. 52:17as 5 times 9-x. Remembering here that x
  1103. 52:22is an element of this quadruplex set
  1104. 52:25that was not removed. So this X is at
  1105. 52:29most, and since A and B are two
  1106. 52:31distinct single-digit numbers, we know
  1107. 52:34the maximum value for the sum of a + b.
  1108. 52:41Which is obtained when I choose a = 8
  1109. 52:43and b = 9 or vice versa. Knowing then
  1110. 52:47that this here is at most 17 and also
  1111. 52:50at least three, right? Because I can
  1112. 52:53choose A = 1 and b = 2, this red
  1113. 52:55calculation here on the right side must
  1114. 52:58be at most 17. But 5 times 9-x will be
  1115. 53:04a result that is greater than 17 if x
  1116. 53:07is greater than or equal to 5. So this
  1117. 53:12means that the digit x needs to be at
  1118. 53:15least six. Therefore, we have four
  1119. 53:17options. Either x is 6, or x is 7, or
  1120. 53:21it is 8, or it is 9. But we also can't
  1121. 53:25have that, because otherwise we'd have
  1122. 53:279-9 here, which is 0. And since these
  1123. 53:30digits are non-zero, the sum couldn't
  1124. 53:32possibly be zero. So, we are actually
  1125. 53:34left with only three cases to analyze.
  1126. 53:38If x = 6, my sum a + b corresponds to
  1127. 53:45exactly 5 x 9-6, which is 5 x 3, that
  1128. 53:51is, 15. So, how can we add single-digit
  1129. 53:56numbers to get a result of 15? If A is
  1130. 54:016, for example, our digit B needs to be
  1131. 54:049. So, the only option we have in this
  1132. 54:09case would be 6 + 9. However, in a
  1133. 54:12quadruplex set, we don't have repeated
  1134. 54:15digits. So, since x here is already 6,
  1135. 54:18this value here couldn't happen because
  1136. 54:21a is already 6. Therefore, this
  1137. 54:23situation here cannot occur. What is
  1138. 54:26another way to get a sum of 15 with two
  1139. 54:29single-digit numbers? We can have 7 + 8
  1140. 54:32. And this one is allowed because 6, 7,
  1141. 54:36and 8 are distinct digits. Now, if x is
  1142. 54:42equal to 7, then a + b actually
  1143. 54:46corresponds to 5 x 9-7, which is 5 x 2,
  1144. 54:51which corresponds to 10. To get two
  1145. 54:58single-digit numbers whose sum is 10,
  1146. 55:01we can use 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7,
  1147. 55:04or 4 and 6. Remembering that A and B
  1148. 55:08are distinct. And since X = 7 must be
  1149. 55:13in my quadruplex, I couldn't have it
  1150. 55:16and remove it at the same time.
  1151. 55:19Therefore, this option is not valid. We
  1152. 55:22are then left with the removal options
  1153. 55:24of 1 and 9, 2 and 8, and 4 and 6. And
  1154. 55:28finally, if x is equal to 8, following
  1155. 55:32the same logic, we will have that a + b
  1156. 55:36corresponds to 5 x 9-8. 9-8 is 1.
  1157. 55:42Therefore, this is 5 x 1, which is 5.
  1158. 55:47And in what way can we pick two
  1159. 55:49distinct single-digit numbers whose sum
  1160. 55:51is five? We can take 2 and 3 or we can
  1161. 55:56take 1 and 4. Both options are valid
  1162. 56:00because they don't coincide with the
  1163. 56:02digit eight, which will already be in
  1164. 56:04my quadruplex; moral of the story.
  1165. 56:07Summarizing all this math we did, we
  1166. 56:10discovered that we have one option if x
  1167. 56:14is 6, three options if x is 7, and two
  1168. 56:17more options if x is 8. So, in total,
  1169. 56:22we have 1 + 3 + 2, which is six
  1170. 56:25quadruplex sets with seven elements
  1171. 56:28that we can form. And given the
  1172. 56:32restrictions we studied, there is no
  1173. 56:35way for a quadruplex set to exist that
  1174. 56:37isn't formed from the removal of these
  1175. 56:40sums here. So, we have these six
  1176. 56:43possible sums here of numbers that we
  1177. 56:45are going to remove, and each one of
  1178. 56:48them will generate one of the six
  1179. 56:50quadruplexes. Namely, we have these
  1180. 56:53lists here with these six quadruplexes,
  1181. 56:55which are the quadruplex sets with
  1182. 56:57seven elements. And this concludes this
  1183. 57:01question here. As a curiosity, we can
  1184. 57:04see all the quadruplexes, from the
  1185. 57:06smallest one, which has two elements,
  1186. 57:07to the largest, which is in the problem
  1187. 57:10statement, which has the nine digits.
  1188. 57:13In total, we have 57 quadruplex sets
  1189. 57:16that are shown here. M.
