INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
General
1 Do not open the booklet until told to do so by your teacher.
2 NO calculators, maths stencils, mobile phones or other calculating aids are permitted,
Scribbling paper, graph paper, ruler and compasses are permitted, but are not essential,
Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids.
4. There are 25 multiple-choice questions, each requiring a single answer, and 5 questions that
require a whole number answer between O and 999. The questions generally get harder as
you work through the paper. There is no penalty for an incorrect response.
5 This is a competition not a test; do not expect to answer all questions. You are only
competing against your own year in your own country/Australian state so different years
doing the same paper are not compared.
6 Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully, Ensure your name, school name and
school year are entered. It is your responsibility to correctly code your answer sheet.
7 When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems.
The answer sheet
1 Use only lead pencil
2 Record your answers on the reverse of the answer sheet (not on the question paper) by
FULLY colouring the circle matching your answer.
3. Your answer sheet will be scanned. The optical scanner will attempt to read all markings
even if they are in the wrong places, so please be careful not to doodle or write anything
extra on the answer sheet. If you want to change an answer or remove any marks, use a
plastic eraser and be sure to remove all marks and smudges.
Integrity of the competition
The AMT reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official
status to their score.
Reminder: You may sit this competition once, in one division only, or risk no score.

23. Manny has three ways to travel the 8 kilometres from home to work: driving his ear
takes 12 minutes, riding his bike takes 24 minutes and walking takes 1 hour and 44
minutes. He wants to know how to get to work as quickly as possible in the event
that he is riding his bike and gets a flat tyre.
He has three strategi
(i) Ifhe is close to home, walk back home and then drive his car.
(ii) If he is close to work, just walk the rest of the way.
For some intermediate distances, spend 20 minntes fixing the tyre and then
continue riding his bike.
He knows there are two locations along the route to work where the strategy should
change. How far apart are they?
(A) 2km (B) 3km (C) 4km (D) 5km. (B) 6km24. Ont of modern musical theory comes the following question, .
‘Twelve points are equally spaced around a circle. Three
points are to be joined to make a triangle.
‘We count two triangles as being the same only if they match
perfectly after rotating, but not reflecting. For instance, the
two triangles shown are the same.
How many different triangles can be made? :

For questions 26 to 30, shade the answer as an integer from 0 to 999
in the space provided on the answer sheet.
Questions 26-30 are worth 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 marks, respectively.
26. A positive whole number is called stable if at least one of its digits has the same value
as its position in the number. For example, 78247 is stable because a 4 appears in
the 4" position. How many stable 3-digit numbers are there?
27. When I divide an integer by 15, the remainder is an integer from 0 to 14. When I
divide an integer by 27, the remainder is an integer from 0 to 26.
For instance, if the integer is 100 then the remainders are 10 and 19, which are
different.
How many integers from 1 to 1000 leave the same remainders after division by 15
and after division by 27?28. The number 35 has the property that when its digits are both increased by 2, and
then multiplied, the result is 5 x 7 = 35, equal to the original number.
Find the sum of all two-digit numbers such that when you increase both digits by 2,
and then multiply these numbers, the produet is equal to the original number:
29. The Leader of Zip decrees that the digit 0, since it represents nothing, will no longer
be used in any counting number. Only counting numbers without 0 digits are allowed.
So the counting numbers in Zip begin 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, ..., where the
tenth counting number is 11
When you write out the first one thousand allowable counting munbers in Zip, what
are the last three digits of the final number?
30. Antony the ant is at the top-left comer ge:
of this brick wall and needs to get tothe °
bottom-right corner.
Because it is a hot day, he avoids the
dark bricks and only walks on the cooler
white mortar between the bricks and at
the top and bottom of the wall.
There are 18 rows of bricks, each with
7 whole bricks and one half-brick in an
alternating pattern,
How many different ways are there for
Antony to walk to the opposite corner
as quickly as possible?2019 AMC Answers
