Problem Statement

p1. Determine the smallest natural number that has the property that it's cube ends in 888888.
p2. Triangle ABCABC is isosceles with AC=BCAC = BC. The angle bisector at AA intercepts side BCBC at the point DD and the bisector of the angle at CC intercepts side ABAB at EE. If AD=2CEAD = 2CE, find the measure of the angles of triangle ABCABC.
p3.In the accompanying figure, the circle CC is tangent to the quadrant AOBAOB at point SS. AP is tangent to CC at PP and OQOQ is tangent at QQ. Calculate the length APAP as a function of the radiusR R of the quadrant AOBAOB. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/c/d34774c3c6c33d351316574ca3f7ade54e6441.png
p4. Let AA be a set with seven or more natural numbers. Show that there must be two numbers in AA with the property that either its sum or its difference is divisible by ten. Show that the property can fail if set AA has fewer than seven elements.
p5. An nn-sided convex polygon is such that there is no common point for any three of its diagonals. Determine the number of triangles that are formed such that two of their vertices are vertices of the polygon and the third is an intersection of two diagonals.
