Each person is given \(2\) cards out of a set of \(10\) cards numbered \(1 , 2 , 3 , \cdots , 10 .\) The score of a player is the sum of the numbers of their cards. The scores of the players are as follows: Ravon--\(11 ,\) Oscar--\(4 ,\) Aditi--\(7 ,\) Tyrone--\(16 ,\) Kim--\(17 .\) Which of the following statements is true? \(\mathbf{\text{(B) }} \text{Aditi was given card 3.} \) bold("(C) ") "Ravon was given card 4." \( \mathbf{\text{(D) }} \text{Aditi was given card 4.}\)\(\mathbf{\text{(E) }} \text{Tyrone was given card 7.}\)

A fair \(6\)-sided die is repeatedly rolled until an odd number appears. What is the probability that every even number appears at least once before the first occurrence of an odd number?

Suppose that \(S\) is a finite set of positive integers. If the greatest integer in \(S\) is removed from \(S\), then the average value (arithmetic mean) of the integers remaining is \(32\). If the least integer in \(S\) is also removed, then the average value of the integers remaining is \(35\). If the greatest integer is then returned to the set, the average value of the integers rises to \(40\). The greatest integer in the original set \(S\) is \(72\) greater than the least integer in \(S\). What is the average value of all the integers in the set \(S\)?

The figure is constructed from \(11\) line segments, each of which has length \(2\). The area of pentagon \(A B C D E\) can be written as \(\sqrt{m} + \sqrt{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are positive integers. What is \(m + n ?\)

A square piece of paper has side length \(1\) and vertices \(A , B , C ,\) and \(D\) in that order. As shown in the figure, the paper is folded so that vertex \(C\) meets edge \(\overline{A D}\) at point \(C'\), and edge \(\overline{A B}\) at point \(E\). Suppose that \(C' D = \dfrac{1}{3}\). What is the perimeter of triangle \(\triangle A E C' ?\)

Ang, Ben, and Jasmin each have \(5\) blocks, colored red, blue, yellow, white, and green; and there are \(5\) empty boxes. Each of the people randomly and independently of the other two people places one of their blocks into each box. The probability that at least one box receives \(3\) blocks all of the same color is \(\dfrac{m}{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are relatively prime positive integers. What is \(m + n ?\)

A square with side length \(8\) is colored white except for \(4\) black isosceles right triangular regions with legs of length \(2\) in each corner of the square and a black diamond with side length \(2 \sqrt{2}\) in the center of the square, as shown in the diagram. A circular coin with diameter \(1\) is dropped onto the square and lands in a random location where the coin is completely contained within the square. The probability that the coin will cover part of the black region of the square can be written as \(\dfrac{1}{196} (a + b \sqrt{2} + \pi)\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive integers. What is \(a + b\)?

Arjun and Beth play a game in which they take turns removing one brick or two adjacent bricks from one "wall" among a set of several walls of bricks, with gaps possibly creating new walls. The walls are one brick tall. For example, a set of walls of sizes \(4\) and \(2\) can be changed into any of the following by one move: \(( 3 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 1 , 2 ) , ( 4 ) , ( 4 , 1 ) , ( 2 , 2 ) ,\) or \(( 1 , 1 , 2 ) .\) Arjun plays first, and the player who removes the last brick wins. For which starting configuration is there a strategy that guarantees a win for Beth?
