A National Who Wants to Be a Mathematician at the 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco.

In the contest, 10 students from across the country played two semifinals, of five students each. The two winners of the semifinals squared off in the finals for the grand prize. Both semifinals were very exciting: In each, two contestants tied for first, so a tie-breaking question was used to determine the finalists. Here are questions 4 and 5 from the first semifinal.
