Diagnostic - AMC12

A team of students is going to compete against a team of teachers in a trivia contest. The total number of students and teachers is $15$. Ash, a cousin of one of the students, wants to join the contest. If Ash plays with the students, the average age on that team will increase from $12$ to $14$. If Ash plays with the teachers, the average age on that team will decrease from $55$ to $52$. How old is Ash?

Agnes writes the following four statements on a blank piece of paper. $\bullet$ At least one of these statements is true. $\bullet$ At least two of these statements are true. $\bullet$ At least two of these statements are false. $\bullet$ At least one of these statements is false. Each statement is either true or false. How many false statements did Agnes write on the paper?

Emmy says to Max, "I ordered 36 math club sweatshirts today." Max asks, "How much did each shirt cost?" Emmy responds, "I'll give you a hint. The total cost was $\$ \underline A~\underline B~\underline B.\underline B~\underline A$, where $A$ and $B$ are digits and $A \neq 0$." After a pause, Max says, "That was a good price." What is $A + B$?

Pentagon $ABCDE$ is inscribed in a circle, and $\angle BEC = \angle CED = 30^\circ$. Let line $AC$ and line $BD$ intersect at point $F$, and suppose that $AB = 9$ and $AD = 24$. What is $BF$?

The windshield wiper on the driver's side of a large bus is depicted below. Arm $\overline{AB}$ pivots back and forth around point $A$, sweeping out an arc of $60^{\circ}$, symmetric about the vertical line through $A$. The wiper blade $\overline{CD}$ is attached to $B$ at its midpoint and stays vertical as the arm moves. The arm is $3$ feet long, and the wiper blade is $3.5$ feet tall. What is the area of the windshield cleaned by the wiper, in square feet, to the nearest hundredth? (Assume that the windshield is a flat vertical surface.)

A circle has been divided into 6 sectors of different sizes. Then 2 of the sectors are painted red, 2 painted green, and 2 painted blue so that no two neighboring sectors are painted the same color. One such coloring is shown below. How many different colorings are possible?

The polynomial $(z + i)(z + 2i)(z + 3i) + 10$ has three roots in the complex plane, where $i = \sqrt{-1}$. What is the area of the triangle formed by these three roots?

A rectangular grid of squares has $141$ rows and $91$ columns. Each square has room for two numbers. Horace and Vera each fill in the grid by putting the numbers from $1$ through $141 \times 91 = 12{,}831$ into the squares. Horace fills the grid horizontally: he puts $1$ through $91$ in order from left to right into row $1$, puts $92$ through $182$ into row $2$ in order from left to right, and continues similarly through row $141$. Vera fills the grid vertically: she puts $1$ through $141$ in order from top to bottom into column $1$, then $142$ through $282$ into column $2$ in order from top to bottom, and continues similarly through column $91$. How many squares get two copies of the same number?

Three real numbers are chosen independently and uniformly at random between $0$ and $1$. What is the probability that the greatest of these three numbers is greater than $2$ times each of the other two numbers? (In other words, if the chosen numbers are $a \geq b \geq c$, then $a > 2b$.)

Call a positive integer fair if no digit is used more than once, it has no $0$s, and no digit is adjacent to two greater digits. For example, $196, 23$ and $12463$ are fair, but $1546, 320,$ and $34321$ are not. How many fair positive integers are there?
