Team Round Time Limit: 25 minutes Maximum Possible Score: 81 The following is a mathematical Sudoku puzzle which is also a crossword. Your job is to fill in as many blanks as you possibly can, including all shaded squares . You do not earn extra points for showing your work; the only points you get are for correctly filled-in squares. You get one point for each correctly filled-in square . You should read through the following rules carefully before starting. • Your time limit for this round is 25 minutes, in addition to the five minutes you get for reading the rules. So make use of your time wisely. The round is based more on speed than on perfect reasoning, so use your intuition well, and be fast . • This is a Sudoku puzzle ; all the squares should be filled in with the digits 1 through 9 so that every row and column contains each digit exactly once. In addition, each of the nine 3 × 3 boxes that compose the grid also contains each digit exactly once. Furthermore, this is a super-Sudoku puzzle ; in addition to satisfying all these conditions, the four 3 × 3 boxes with red outlines also contain each of 1 , . . . , 9 exactly once. This last property is important to keep in mind – it may help you solve the puzzle faster. • Just to restate the idea, you can use the digits 1 through 9 , but not 0 . You may not use any other symbol, such as π or e or ε . Each square gets exactly one digit. • The grid is also a crossword puzzle ; the usual rules apply. The shaded grey squares are the “black” squares of an ordinary crossword puzzle. The white squares as well as the shaded yellow ones count as the “white” crossword squares. All squares, white or shaded, count as ordinary Sudoku squares. • If you obtain the unique solution to the crossword puzzle, then this solution extends to a unique solution to the Sudoku puzzle. • You may use a graphing calculator to help you solve the clues. The following hints and tips may prove useful while solving the puzzle. • Use the super-Sudoku structure described in the first rule; use all the symmetries you have. Remember that we are not looking for proofs or methods, only for correctly filled-in squares. • If you find yourself stuck on a specific clue, it is nothing to worry about. You can obtain the solution to that clue later on by solving other clues and figuring out certain digits of your desired solution. Just move on to the rest of the puzzle. • As you progress through the puzzle, keep filling in all squares you have found on your solu- tion sheet, including the shaded ones . Remember that for scoring, the shaded grey squares count the same as the white ones. Good luck! 1 Page 1 of 5

Figure 1: Good luck. Make sure you turn in the solution sheet, not this page! 1 Across • 1 Across. The following is a normal addition where each letter represents a (distinct) digit: GOT + T O + GO + T O = T OP . This certainly does not have a unique solution. However, you discover suddenly that G = 2 and P ∈ { / 4 , 7 } . Then what is the numeric value of the expression GOT × T O ? • 3 Across. A strobogrammatic number which reads the same upside down, e.g. 619 . On the other hand, a triangular number is a number of the form n ( n + 1) / 2 for some n ∈ N , th e.g. 15 (therefore, the i triangular number T is the sum of 1 through i ). Let a be the third i strobogrammatic prime number. Let b be the smaller number of the smallest pair of triangular numbers whose sum and difference are also triangular numbers. What is the value of ab ? • 6 Across. A positive integer m is said to be palindromic in base ` if, when written in base ` , its digits are the same front-to-back and back-to-front.

Find positive integers x, y, z satisfying the following properties: y is obtained by subtracting 93 from x , and z is obtained by subtracting 183 from y ; furthermore, x , y and z in their base- 10 representations contain precisely all the digits from 1 through 9 once (i.e. concatenating x , y and z yields a valid 9 -digit Sudoku answer). Obviously, write down the concatenation of x , y and z in that order. • 11 Across. Find the largest pair of two-digit consecutive prime numbers a and b (with a < b ) such that the sum of the digits of a plus the sum of the digits of b is also a prime number.

A move consists either of a toad or a frog sliding to an adjacent square if it is vacant, or of a toad or a frog jumping one square over another one and landing on the next square if it is vacant. For instance, the starting position F F F F F T T T T T has the position F F F F F T T T T T or the position F F F F F T T T T T as results of valid first moves. What is the minimum number of moves needed to swap the toads with the frogs if n = 5 ? How about n = 6 ? Concatenate your answers. • 15 Across.

Let y be the fourth Leyland number. A Pillai prime is a prime number p for which there is an integer n > 0 such that n ! ≡ − 1 (mod p ) , but p 6 ≡ 1 (mod n ) . Let z be the fourth Pillai prime.
