Option 1: Riley sees a rainbow with ends that appear to touch the ground 1 mile apart and reaches a maximum height of 0.5 miles above the ground. If the rainbow is an arc of a circle, how many degrees is the arc that Riley sees?
Option 2: Patti writes Saint Patrick’s Day on a strip of paper and cuts it so that each letter is on its own piece of paper. If she puts all of the letters in a hat what is the probability that she draws all five letters of her name in exactly five draws (without replacement)?
Option 3: While Patrick is driving his car, he notices that the odometer reads 13931 miles. The mileage is a palindrome, a number that reads the same forward as it does backward. Exactly 2 hours later, Patrick notices that the odometer displays a different palindrome. What is the most likely average speed at which the car has been traveling?

Option 1: Super Tuesday (February 5, 2008 ) has passed and there is still no clear democratic leader in the race for the nomination. The county’s Super Tuesday 2008 turnout set a record with 50 percent of the 362,376 registered voters participating. Prior to 2008, the highest Super Tuesday turnout was in 1988 when 35 percent participated. If the population increased by 5 percent from 1988 to 2008, how many more voters voted in 2008 than in 1988?
Option 2: Once the primary votes are tallied, the states’ delegates are divided up based on the proportion of votes each of the “top” candidates received compared to the other “top” candidates. (“Top” candidates refers to candidates receiving at least 15% of the vote in that state.) In Arizona, Clinton had 51% of the vote and Obama had 42% of the vote. If Arizona has 56 delegates that are tied to the results of the primary, how many delegates did each candidate receive? Disregard any digits after the decimal, and express your answer as a whole number.
Option 3: How many whole numbers less than 1000 contain no 3s but at least one 2?

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!
1. Every year on February 2nd in Punxsutawney, PA, Groundhog Phil is called upon to predict how much more winter there will be. If Phil sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter, but if he does not see his shadow spring is near. In 2006 Phil saw his shadow. If Phil’s shadow was 25 inches long (when he stands on his back legs) at the same time that a 12 foot tree cast a 15 foot shadow, how tall was Phil, in inches, in 2006?
2. Groundhog Phil’s cousin Henry lives in Moundsville with his family. At the beginning of 2006, Moundsville had a population of 2500 groundhogs but by the beginning of 2008 the population had grown to 3025 groundhogs. If the annual percentage of growth was the same in 2006 as it was in 2007, how many groundhogs lived in Moundsville at the beginning of 2007?
3. Groundhog Henry is digging a new tunnel in a flat field outside of his home. He starts by digging 3 ft straight down and then digs north 4 times the distance that he dug down. At this point Henry digs straight west for 17 ft before running into a boulder. Since he doesn’t know how big the boulder is, he backs up 1 ft and digs 3 ft straight up to the surface. How far is the end of Henry’s tunnel from the beginning of Henry’s tunnel?

Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929. His birthday is celebrated each year as a national holiday on the third Monday of January. What is the earliest date in January the nation can celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday? What is the latest date in January the nation can celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday? What is the probability Martin Luther King Jr.’s actual birth date falls on the third Monday in January? Express your answer as a common fraction.
On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. led a march of approximately 250,000 people from the nation’s Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial included increasing the minimum wage from $1.15 per hour to $2.00 per hour. Congress increased the federal minimum wage from $1.15 to $1.25 per hour in 1963. The federal minimum wage did not reach $2.00 per hour until 1974. What is the positive difference between the percent increase in the minimum wage passed by congress in 1963 and the percent increase requested by Martin Luther King Jr. in his speech? Express your answer to the nearest tenth.
Assume the federal minimum wage was $1.15 per hour on September 1, 1963 and $2.00 per hour on September 1, 1974. Assume the federal minimum wage increased annually on September 1 by r percent of the previous year’s wage for each of the years during this time period. What is the value of r?
