[ "Rolling a pair of fair $6$ -sided dice, the probability of getting a sum of $7$ is $\\frac16:$ Regardless what the first die shows, the second die has exactly one outcome to make the sum $7.$ We consider the complement: The probability of not getting a sum of $7$ is $1-\\frac16=\\frac56.$ Rolling the pair of dice $n$ times, the probability of getting a sum of $7$ at least once is $1-\\left(\\frac56\\right)^n.$\nTherefore, we have $1-\\left(\\frac56\\right)^n>\\frac12,$ or \\[\\left(\\frac56\\right)^n<\\frac12.\\] Since $\\left(\\frac56\\right)^4<\\frac12<\\left(\\frac56\\right)^3,$ the least integer $n$ satisfying the inequality is $\\boxed{4}.$", "Let's try the answer choices.

Since these times are equal and sum to $9$ hours, the trip from $A$ to $B$ must take half this time, or $4.5$ hours. The answer is thus $\\boxed{4.5}$", "What's important in this problem is to consider everything in terms of the power boat and the raft, since that is how the problem is given to us. Think of the blue arrow as the power boat and the red arrow as the raft in the following three diagrams, which represent different time intervals of the problem.\n\nThinking about the distance covered as their distances with respect to each other, they are $0$ distance apart in the first diagram when they haven't started to move yet, some distance $d$ apart in the second diagram when the power boat reaches $B$ , and again $0$ distance apart in the third diagram when they meet. Therefore, with respect to each other, the boat and the raft cover a distance of $d$ on the way there, and again cover a distance of $d$ on when drawing closer. This makes sense, because from the 1st diagram to the second, the raft moves in the same direction as the boat, while from the 2nd to the 3rd, the boat and raft move in opposite directions.\nLet $b$ denote the speed of the power boat (only the power boat, not factoring in current) and $r$ denote the speed of the raft, which, as given by the problem, is also equal to the speed of the current. Thus, from $A$ to $B$ , the boat travels at a velocity of $b+r$ , and on the way back, travels at a velocity of $-(b-r)=r-b$ , since the current aids the boat on the way there, and goes against the boat on the way back. With respect to the raft then, the boat's velocity from $A$ to $B$ becomes $(r+b)-r=b$ , and on the way back it becomes $(r-b)-r=-b$ . Since the boat's velocities with respect to the raft are exact opposites, $b$ and $-b$ , we therefore know that the boat and raft travel apart from each other at the same rate that they travel toward each other.\nFrom this, we have that the boat travels a distance $d$ at rate $b$ with respect to the raft both on the way to $B$ and on the way back. Thus, using $\\dfrac{distance}{speed}=time$ , we have $\\dfrac{2d}{b}=9\\text{ hours}$ , and to see how long it took to travel half the distance, we have $\\dfrac{d}{b}=4.5\\text{ hours}\\implies\\boxed{4.5}$", "Let $t$ be the time it takes the power boat to go from $A$ to $B$ in hours, $r$ be the speed of the river current (and thus also the raft), and $p$ to be the speed of the power boat with respect to the river.\nUsing $d = rt$ , the raft covers a distance of $9r$ , the distance from $A$ to $B$ is $(p + r)t$ , and the distance from $B$ to where the raft and power boat met up is $(9 - t)(p - r)$\nThen, $9r + (9 - t)(p - r) = (p + r)t$ .

[ "We will show that $22$ $11$ $22$ $44$ , and $22$ meters are the heights of the trees from left to right. We are given that all tree heights are integers, so since Tree 2 has height $11$ meters, we can deduce that Trees 1 and 3 both have a height of $22$ meters. There are now three possible cases for the heights of Trees 4 and 5 (in order for them to be integers), namely heights of $11$ and $22$ $44$ and $88$ , or $44$ and $22$ . Checking each of these, in the first case, the average is $17.6$ meters, which doesn't end in $.2$ as the problem requires. Therefore, we consider the other cases. With $44$ and $88$ , the average is $37.4$ meters, which again does not end in $.2$ , but with $44$ and $22$ , the average is $24.2$ meters, which does. Consequently, the answer is $\\boxed{24.2}$", "Notice the average height of the trees ends with $0.2$ ; therefore, the sum of all five heights of the trees must end with $1$ or $6$ . ( $0.2$ $\\cdot$ $5$ $1$ ) \nWe already know Tree $2$ is $11$ meters tall. Both Tree $1$ and Tree $3$ must $22$ meters tall - since neither can be $5.5$ . \nOnce again, apply our observation for solving for the Tree $4$ 's height. Tree $4$ can't be $11$ meters for the sum of the five tree heights to still end with $1$ . Therefore, the Tree $4$ is $44$ meters tall. \nNow, Tree $5$ can either be $22$ or $88$ . Find the average height for both cases of Tree $5$ . Doing this, we realize the Tree $5$ must be $22$ for the average height to end with $0.2$ and that the average height is $\\boxed{24.2}$", "As in Solution 1, we shall show that the heights of the trees are $22$ $11$ $22$ $44$ , and $22$ meters. Let $S$ be the sum of the heights, so that the average height will be $\\frac{S}{5}$ meters. We note that $0.2 = \\frac{1}{5}$ , so in order for $\\frac{S}{5}$ to end in $.2$ $S$ must be one more than a multiple of $5$ . Moreover, as all the heights are integers, the heights of Tree 1 and Tree 3 are both $22$ meters. At this point, our table looks as follows: \\[\\begingroup \\setlength{\\tabcolsep}{10pt} \\renewcommand{\\arraystretch}{1.5} \\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \\hline Tree 1 & 22 meters \\\\ Tree 2 & 11 meters \\\\ Tree 3 & 22 meters \\\\ Tree 4 & \\rule{0.5cm}{0.15mm} meters \\\\ Tree 5 & \\rule{0.5cm}{0.15mm} meters \\\\ \\hline Average height & \\rule{0.5cm}{0.15mm}\\text{ .}2 meters \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular} \\endgroup\\]\nIf Tree 4 now has a height of $11$ , then Tree 5 would need to have height $22$ , but in that case $S$ would equal $88$ , which is not $1$ more than a multiple of $5$ . So we instead take Tree 4 to have height $44$ . Then the sum of the heights of the first 4 trees is $22+11+22+44 = 99$ , so using a height of $22$ for Tree 5 gives $S=121$ , which is $1$ more than a multiple of $5$ (whereas $88$ gives $S = 187$ , which is not). Thus the average height of the trees is $\\frac{121}{5} = \\boxed{24.2}$ meters.", "Since we know that the tree heights have to be integers, then it is immediate that Tree 1 and 3 have a height of $22$ . Now using the information given by the last column (that the average of the heights of the trees ends in $.2$ ), we can tell that the sum of all the heights of the trees ends in either $1$ or $6$ , because those are the only numbers from $0$ to $9$ that are congruent to $1$ after taking modulo $5$ . The two multiples of eleven (eleven because all of the tree heights have to be a multiple of eleven if they are integers) that come to mind are $66$ and $121$ . Since the sum of the heights of Tree 1, 2, and 3 is already $55$ , we know that $66$ is impossible to obtain. Then, we can decide with relative confidence that the answer should be $\\frac{121}{5} = \\boxed{24.2}$", "Since her average ends with 0.2, the sum of her tree heights must be $\\equiv 1 \\pmod {5}$ .\nIf Tree 1's height is $a$ , Tree 3's is $b$ , Tree 4's is $c$ , and Tree 5's is $d$ , then we $a$ and $b$ are both 22, since all of the tree heights are integers.\nNow we have $22+11+22+c+d \\equiv 1 \\pmod {5}$ . Simplifying, we get $c+d \\equiv 1 \\pmod {5}$ .\nThe only possible combination of $c$ and $d$ that abides the condition are 44 and 22, respectively.\nAdding these up, we get 121, and $\\frac{121}{5}$ is $\\boxed{24.2}$" ]

[ "We say the sequence $(a_n)$ completes at $i$ if $i$ is the minimal positive integer such that $a_i = a_{i + 1} = 1$ .

(Also, $a_{2006}$ cannot be 1 in this case since $d$ does not divide $1$ , so we do not care about these $a_2$ at all.)\nFrom now on, suppose $\\gcd(999, a_2) = 1$\nWe will now show that $(a_n)$ completes at $i$ for some $i \\leq 2006$ . We will do this with 3 lemmas.\nLemma: If $a_j \\neq a_{j + 1}$ , and neither value is $0$ , then $\\max(a_j, a_{j + 1}) > \\max(a_{j + 2}, a_{j + 3})$\nProof: There are 2 cases to consider.\nIf $a_j > a_{j + 1}$ , then $a_{j + 2} = a_j - a_{j + 1}$ , and $a_{j + 3} = |a_j - 2a_{j + 1}|$ . So $a_j > a_{j + 2}$ and $a_j > a_{j + 3}$\nIf $a_j < a_{j + 1}$ , then $a_{j + 2} = a_{j + 1} - a_j$ , and $a_{j + 3} = a_j$ . So $a_{j + 1} > a_{j + 2}$ and $a_{j + 1} > a_{j + 3}$\nIn both cases, $\\max(a_j, a_{j + 1}) > \\max(a_{j + 2}, a_{j + 3})$ , as desired.\nLemma: If $a_i = a_{i + 1}$ , then $a_i = 1$ . Moreover, if instead we have $a_i = 0$ for some $i > 2$ , then $a_{i - 1} = a_{i - 2} = 1$\nProof: By the way $(a_n)$ is constructed in the problem statement, having two equal consecutive terms $a_i = a_{i + 1}$ implies that $a_i$ divides every term in the sequence. So $a_i | 999$ and $a_i | a_2$ , so $a_i | \\gcd(999, a_2) = 1$ , so $a_i = 1$ . For the proof of the second result, note that if $a_i = 0$ , then $a_{i - 1} = a_{i - 2}$ , so by the first result we just proved, $a_{i - 2} = a_{i - 1} = 1$\nLemma: $(a_n)$ completes at $i$ for some $i \\leq 2000$\nProof: Suppose $(a_n)$ completed at some $i > 2000$ or not at all. Then by the second lemma and the fact that neither $999$ nor $a_2$ are $0$ , none of the pairs $(a_1, a_2), ..., (a_{1999}, a_{2000})$ can have a $0$ or be equal to $(1, 1)$ . So the first lemma implies \\[\\max(a_1, a_2) > \\max(a_3, a_4) > \\cdots > \\max(a_{1999}, a_{2000}) > 0,\\] so $999 = \\max(a_1, a_2) \\geq 1000$ , a contradiction. Hence $(a_n)$ completes at $i$ for some $i \\leq 2000$\nNow we're ready to find exactly which values of $a_2$ we want to count.\nLet's keep in mind that $2006 \\equiv 2 \\pmod 3$ and that $a_1 = 999$ is odd. We have two cases to consider.\nCase 1: If $a_2$ is odd, then $a_3$ is even, so $a_4$ is odd, so $a_5$ is odd, so $a_6$ is even, and this pattern must repeat every three terms because of the recursive definition of $(a_n)$ , so the terms of $(a_n)$ reduced modulo 2 are \\[1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, ...,\\] so $a_{2006}$ is odd and hence $1$ (since if $(a_n)$ completes at $i$ , then $a_k$ must be $0$ or $1$ for all $k \\geq i$ ).\nCase 2: If $a_2$ is even, then $a_3$ is odd, so $a_4$ is odd, so $a_5$ is even, so $a_6$ is odd, and this pattern must repeat every three terms, so the terms of $(a_n)$ reduced modulo 2 are \\[1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, ...,\\] so $a_{2006}$ is even, and hence $0$\nWe have found that $a_{2006} = 1$ is true precisely when $\\gcd(999, a_2) = 1$ and $a_2$ is odd. This tells us what we need to count.\nThere are $\\phi(999) = 648$ numbers less than $999$ and relatively prime to it ( $\\phi$ is the Euler totient function). We want to count how many of these are odd. Note that \\[t \\mapsto 999 - t\\] is a 1-1 correspondence between the odd and even numbers less than and relatively prime to $999$ .
