Thus, the correct answer is 3, answer choice .
The inside diameters of the rings are the positive integers from 1 to 18. The total distance needed is the sum of these values plus 2 for the top of the first ring and the bottom of the last ring. Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series, the answer is .
Alternatively, the sum of the consecutive integers from 3 to 20 is . However, the 17 intersections between the rings must be subtracted, and we also get

The problem can be restated as an equation of the form , where
is the number of pigs,
is the number of goats, and
is the positive debt. The problem asks us to find the lowest x possible.

. Therefore, the answer is
, which is
,
Alternatively, note that is divisible by 30 no matter what
and
are, so our answer must be divisible by 30. In addition, three goats minus two pigs gives us
exactly. Since our theoretical best can be achieved, it must really be the best, and the answer is
. debt that can be resolved.
Let us simplify this problem. Dividing by , we get a pig to be:
, and a goat to be
. It becomes evident that if you exchange
pigs for
goats, we get the smallest positive difference -
. Since we originally divided by
, we need to multiply again, thus getting the answer:
One possibility is to use the coordinate plane, setting at the origin. Point

(Similar to Solution 1) First, draw line AE and mark a point Z that is equidistant from E and D so that and that line

Let us count the good paths. The bug starts at an arbitrary vertex, moves to a neighboring vertex (3 ways), and then to a new neighbor (2 more ways). So, without loss of generality, let the cube have vertices such that
and
are two opposite faces with
above
and
above
. The bug starts at
and moves first to
, then to
.
From this point, there are two cases.
Case 1: the bug moves to . From
, there is only one good move available, to
. From
, there are two ways to finish the trip, either by going
or
. So there are 2 good paths in this case.
Case 2: the bug moves to . Case 2a: the bug moves
. In this case, there are 0 good paths because it will not be possible to visit both
and
without double-visiting some vertex. Case 2b: the bug moves
. There is a unique good path in this case,
.
Thus, all told we have 3 good paths after the first two mo, for a total of good paths. There were
possible paths the bug could have taken, so the probability a random path is good is the ratio of good paths to total paths,
.
As in Solution 1, the bug can move from its arbitrary starting vertex to a neighboring vertex in 3 ways. After this, the bug can move to a new neighbor in 2 ways (it cannot return to the first vertex). The total number of paths (as stated above) is or
. Therefore, the probability of the bug following a good path is equal to
for some positive integer
. The only answer choice which can be expressed in this form is

Looking at the constraints of :

So the desired ratio is .
By the Multinomial Theorem, the summands can be written as
and
respectively. Since the coefficients of like terms are the same in each expression, each like term either cancel one another out or the coefficient doubles. In each expansion there are:
terms without cancellation. For any term in the second expansion to be negative, the parity of the exponents of and
must be opposite. Now we find a pattern:
if the exponent of is 1, the exponent of
can be all even integers up to 2004, so there are 1003 terms.
if the exponent of is 3, the exponent of
can go up to 2002, so there are 1002 terms.
if the exponent of is 2005, then
can only be 0, so there is 1 term.
If we add them up, we get terms. However, we can switch the exponents of
and
and these terms will still have a negative sign. So there are a total of
negative terms.
By subtracting this number from 2015028, we obtain or
as our answer.
Alternatively, we can use a generating function to solve this problem. The goal is to find the generating function for the number of unique terms in the simplified expression (in terms of ). In other words, we want to find
where the coefficient of
equals the number of unique terms in
.
First, we note that all unique terms in the expression have the form, , where
and
is some constant. Therefore, the generating function for the MAXIMUM number of unique terms possible in the simplified expression of
is
Secondly, we note that a certain number of terms of the form, , do not appear in the simplified version of our expression because those terms cancel. Specifically, we observe that terms cancel when
because every unique term is of the form:
for all possible
.
Since the generating function for the maximum number of unique terms is already known, it is logical that we want to find the generating function for the number of terms that cancel, also in terms of . With some thought, we see that this desired generating function is the following:
Now, we want to subtract the latter from the former in order to get the generating function for the number of unique terms in , our initial goal:
which equals
The coefficient of of the above expression equals
Evaluating the expression, we get , as expected.
Define such that
. Then the expression in the problem becomes:
.
Expanding this using binomial theorem gives , where
(we may omit the coefficients, as we are seeking for the number of terms, not the terms themselves).
Simplifying gives: . Note that two terms that come out of different powers of
cannot combine and simplify, as their exponent of
will differ. Therefore, we simply add the number of terms produced from each addend. By the Binomial Theorem,
will have
terms, so the answer is
.
Using stars and bars we know that has
or
different terms. Now we need to find out how many of these terms are canceled out by
. We know that for any term(let's say
) where
of the expansion of
is only going to cancel out with the corresponding term
if only
is odd and
is even or
is even and
is odd. Now let's do some casework to see how many terms fit this criteria:
Case 1: is even
Now we know that is even and
. Thus
is also even or both
and
are odd or both
and
are even. This case clearly fails the above criteria and there are 0 possible solutions.
Case 2: is odd
Now we know that is odd and
. Thus
is odd and
is odd and
is even or
is even and
is odd. All terms that have
being odd work.
We now need to figure out how many of the terms have as a odd number. We know that
can be equal to any number between 0 and 2006. There are 1003 odd numbers between this range and 2007 total numbers. Thus
of the
terms will cancel out and
of the terms will work. Thus there are
terms. This number comes out to be

This question can be solved fairly directly by casework and pattern-finding. We give a somewhat more general attack, based on the solution to the following problem:
How many ways are there to choose elements from an ordered
element set without choosing two consecutive members?
You want to choose numbers out of
with no consecutive numbers. For each configuration, we can subtract
from the
-th element in your subset. This converts your configuration into a configuration with
elements where the largest possible element is
, with no restriction on consecutive numbers. Since this process is easily reversible, we have a bijection. Without consideration of the second condition, we have:
Now we examine the second condition. It simply states that no element in our original configuration (and hence also the modified configuration, since we don't move the smallest element) can be less than , which translates to subtracting
from the "top" of each binomial coefficient. Now we have, after we cancel all the terms
where
,
Another way of visualizing the solution above would be to use 's and
's. Denote
as the numbers we have chosen and
as other numbers. Taking an example, assuming we are picking two numbers, we imagine the shape
. This notation forces a number between the two chosen numbers, which blocks the two numbers we picked from being consecutive. Now we consider the orientations with this shape. We have
remaining numbers.
We need to find the number of ways to place the remaining 's. We can find this by utilizing stars and bars, with the following marker being placed to represent groups: *| - *|*. Now, we have to place
numbers within
groups, which is
. The same concept can be used for the remaining numbers. The rest of the solution continues as above.
Solution by: Everyoneintexas
We have the same setup as in the previous solution.
Note that if , the answer will be 0. Otherwise, the
elements we choose define
boxes (which divide the nonconsecutive numbers) into which we can drop the
remaining elements, with the caveat that each of the middle
boxes must have at least one element (since the numbers are nonconsecutive). This is equivalent to dropping
elements into
boxes, where each box is allowed to be empty. And this is equivalent to arranging
objects,
of which are dividers, which we can do in
ways.
Now, looking at our original question, we see that the thing we want to calculate is just
