1. Three boys, A, B, and C, can work separately or together
on a job. If working together, their efforts combine eficiently. It takes A working alone twice as long as it
takes B working alone. It takes A four times as long as B and C working together to do the job.
Also, it takes A two hours longer to do the job
than it takes all three boys working together. How many hours does it take B to do the job?
2. We call a number ascending if each digit is greater than the

3. Out of all polynomials with
integer coe±cients which have both 1/2√2 and 1/2√3 as

which occurs in any of them?
4. A triangle has vertices at (0, 0), (4, 2), and (5, 1). What is the tangent of its
angle at the vertex (4, 2)?
