The numbers from 1 to 150, inclusive, are placed in a bag and a number is randomly selected from the bag. What is the probability it is not a perfect power (integers that can be expressed as $x^{y}$ where $x$ is an integer and $y$ is an integer greater than 1. For example, $2^{4}=16$ is a perfect power, while $2\times3=6$ is not a perfect power)? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Billy buys a 12 pack of soda from the store. If he has twice as many brothers as sisters, and he has 2 sisters, how many sodas can he give to each of his siblings if he wants to give out the entire 12 pack while giving each the same number?
First, we need to determine how many siblings Billy has. To do this, we perform 2*2= <<2*2=4>>4 brothers, as he has 2 sisters and twice as many brothers as sisters. Then we divide the total number of sodas in the 12 pack, which is 12, by the number of siblings, performing 12/6=<<12/6=2>>2 cans per person. #### 2
There are 2017 jars in a row on a table, initially empty. Each day, a nice man picks ten consecutive jars and deposits one coin in each of the ten jars. Later, Kelvin the Frog comes back to see that $N$ of the jars all contain the same positive integer number of coins (i.e. there is an integer $d>0$ such that $N$ of the jars have exactly $d$ coins). What is the maximum possible value of $N$?

In Flower Town, there are $99^{2}$ residents, some of whom are knights (who always tell the truth) and others are liars (who always lie). The houses in the town are arranged in the cells of a $99 \times 99$ square grid (totaling $99^{2}$ houses, arranged on 99 vertical and 99 horizontal streets). Each house is inhabited by exactly one resident. The house number is denoted by a pair of numbers $(x ; y)$, where $1 \leq x \leq 99$ is the number of the vertical street (numbers increase from left to right), and $1 \leq y \leq 99$ is the number of the horizontal street (numbers increase from bottom to top). The flower distance between two houses numbered $\left(x_{1} ; y_{1}\right)$ and $\left(x_{2} ; y_{2}\right)$ is defined as the number $\rho=\left|x_{1}-x_{2}\right|+\left|y_{1}-y_{2}\right|$. It is known that on every vertical or horizontal street, at least $k$ residents are knights. Additionally, all residents know which house Knight Znayka lives in, but you do not know what Znayka looks like. You want to find Znayka's house and you can approach any house and ask the resident: "What is the flower distance from your house to Znayka’s house?". What is the smallest value of $k$ that allows you to guarantee finding Znayka’s house?

To get free delivery, Alice needs to spend a minimum of $35.00 online at her favorite grocery store. In her cart she has 1.5 pounds of chicken at $6.00 per pound, 1 pack of lettuce for $3.00, cherry tomatoes for $2.50, 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each, 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each and a pound of Brussel sprouts for $2.50. How much more does she need to spend in order to get free delivery?
She bought 1.5 pounds of chicken for $6.00/pound so that's 1.5*$6 = $<<1.5*6=9.00>>9.00 She bought 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each so that's 4*$0.75 = $<<4*0.75=3.00>>3.00 She bought 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each so that's 2*$2 = $<<2*2=4.00>>4.00 The chicken is $9.00, lettuce is $3.00, tomatoes are $2.50, the sweet potatoes are $3.00, broccoli is $4.00 and Brussel sprouts are $2.50 for a total of $9 + $3 + $2.50 + $3 + $4 + $2.5 = $<<9+3+2.5+3+4+2.5=24.00>>24.00 To get free delivery she needs to spend $35.00, and she already has $24.00 in her cart, so she needs to spend an extra $35-$24 = $<<35-24=11.00>>11.00 #### 11

A school cafeteria uses ground mince to cook lasagnas and cottage pies. They make 100 lasagnas, which use 2 pounds of ground mince each, and cottage pies, which use 3 pounds of ground mince each. If the cafeteria has used 500 pounds of ground mince in total, how many cottage pies did they make?
The cafeteria used 100 lasagnas * 2 pounds of ground mince = <<100*2=200>>200 pounds of ground mince for the lasagnas. This means they used 500 pounds of ground mince in total – 200 pounds of ground mince for the lasagnas = 300 pounds of ground mince for the cottage pies. So they must have made 300 pounds of ground mince for the cottage pies / 3 pounds of ground mince per cottage pie = <<300/3=100>>100 cottage pies. #### 100

Equilateral triangle $\triangle ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$ with radius $18.$ Circle $\omega_A$ is tangent to sides $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ and is internally tangent to $\omega.$ Circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are defined analogously. Circles $\omega_A,$ $\omega_B,$ and $\omega_C$ meet in six points---two points for each pair of circles. The three intersection points closest to the vertices of $\triangle ABC$ are the vertices of a large equilateral triangle in the interior of $\triangle ABC,$ and the other three intersection points are the vertices of a smaller equilateral triangle in the interior of $\triangle ABC.$ The side length of the smaller equilateral triangle can be written as $\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{b},$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers.

Juniper, the Irish Setter, has 4 bones. Her master gives her enough bones to double her number of bones. Unfortunately, the neighbor's dog steals away two of Juniper's bones. How many bones does Juniper have remaining?
Doubling 4 bones gives her 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 bones. The neighbor's dog steals two bones, leaving 8-2=<<8-2=6>>6 bones. #### 6
A root of unity is a complex number that is a solution to $z^n = 1$ for some positive integer $n$. Determine the number of roots of unity that are also roots of $z^2 + az + b = 0$ for some integers $a$ and $b$.

Along the southern shore of a boundless sea stretches an archipelago of an infinite number of islands. The islands are connected by an endless chain of bridges, and each island is connected by a bridge to the shore. In the event of a strong earthquake, each bridge independently has a probability $p=0.5$ of being destroyed. What is the probability that after a strong earthquake, one can travel from the first island to the shore using the remaining intact bridges?

Kendall is counting her change. She has a total of $4 in quarters, dimes, and nickels. If she has 10 quarters and 12 dimes, how many nickels does she have?
The total money from the quarters is 10 * $0.25 = $<<10*0.25=2.50>>2.50 The total money from the dimes is 12 * $0.10 = $<<12*0.10=1.20>>1.20 The total money from the nickels is $4 - $2.50 - $1.20 = $<<4-2.5-1.2=0.30>>0.30 The number of nickels Kendall has is $0.30 / $0.05 = <<0.30/0.05=6>>6 nickels #### 6

Alexander draws 9 pictures for an exhibition at a gallery. 5 new galleries also want Alexander to draw for them, so he draws pictures for their exhibitions too. Each of these new galleries receives the same amount of pictures. For each picture, Alexander needs 4 pencils. For each exhibition, he needs another 2 pencils for signing his signature on the pictures. If Alexander uses 88 pencils on drawing and signing his pictures for all of the exhibitions, how many paintings are at each of the 5 new galleries?
Alexander has sent pictures to a total of 1 original gallery + 5 new galleries = <<1+5=6>>6 galleries. For signatures, he has used a total of 6 galleries * 2 pencils per gallery = <<6*2=12>>12 pencils. So of the pencils that he used, 88 total pencils – 12 signature pencils = <<88-12=76>>76 pencils for drawings. At the first gallery, he used 9 pictures * 4 pencils per picture = <<9*4=36>>36 pencils. So in the new galleries, he used 76 total pencils for drawings – 36 pencils at the first gallery = <<76-36=40>>40 pencils. The new galleries received a total of 40 pencils / 4 pencils per picture = <<40/4=10>>10 pictures. As the new galleries all receive equal amounts of pictures, each gallery must have 10 pictures / 5 galleries = <<10/5=2>>2 pictures per gallery. #### 2
Given the hyperbola $\dfrac {x^{2}}{a^{2}}- \dfrac {y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ ($a > 0$, $b > 0$), its left and right vertices are $A$ and $B$, respectively. The right focus is $F$, and the line $l$ passing through point $F$ and perpendicular to the $x$-axis intersects the hyperbola at points $M$ and $N$. $P$ is a point on line $l$. When $\angle APB$ is maximized, point $P$ is exactly at $M$ (or $N$). Determine the eccentricity of the hyperbola.

A circle with diameter $AB$ is drawn, and the point $ P$ is chosen on segment $AB$ so that $\frac{AP}{AB} =\frac{1}{42}$ . Two new circles $a$ and $b$ are drawn with diameters $AP$ and $PB$ respectively. The perpendicular line to $AB$ passing through $ P$ intersects the circle twice at points $S$ and $T$ . Two more circles $s$ and $t$ are drawn with diameters $SP$ and $ST$ respectively. For any circle $\omega$ let $A(\omega)$ denote the area of the circle. What is $\frac{A(s)+A(t)}{A(a)+A(b)}$ ?
