2025 Mathcounts state more interested questions notes

target #4 : level 1.5 question, not hard at all. 

#5: number theory, learn mod or remainder (pattern) 

# 6 and #8 Good for AMC/ AIME preps as well. 

team notes : 

 #1: easy, just one line 

#2: symmetry and infinite geometric sequence

#3: mental math 

#4: more tedious, remainders (take more time) 

#5: there is a very fast method 

#6: elementary 

#7: use balanced method (similar to mass point) easy to make sillies if your answer is 82, not "84". CAREFUL ! ! 

 #8 : two methods 

#9 : You need to practice and see if you can solve it at a
timely manner, even if you have the right idea (for AMC
as well) 

 #10: more ambiguous question, harder to tell if you are "Really" right.
