Do not open the booklet until told to do so by your teacher. 2. NO calculators, slide rules, log tables, maths stencils, mobile phones or other calculating aids are permitted. Scribbling paper, graph paper, ruler and compasses are permitted, but are not essential. 3. Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids. 4. There are 25 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 possible answers given and 5 questions that require a whole number answer between 0 and 999. The questions generally get harder as you work through the paper. There is no penalty for an incorrect response. 5. This is a competition not a test; do not expect to answer all questions. You are only competing against your own year in your own State or Region so different years doing the same paper are not compared. 6. Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully. Ensure your name, school name and school year are filled in. It is your responsibility that the Answer Sheet is correctly coded. 7. When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems. tHe ansWer sHeet 1. Use only lead pencil. 2. Record your answers on the reverse of the Answer Sheet (not on the question paper) by FULLY colouring the circle matching your answer. 3. Your Answer Sheet will be read by a machine. The machine will see all markings even if they are in the wrong places, so please be careful not to doodle or write anything extra on the Answer Sheet. If you want to change an answer or remove any marks, use a plastic eraser and be sure to remove all marks and smudges. inteGritY of tHe Competition The AMC reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official status to their score. australian school years 9 and 10 time allowed: 75 minutes

I6 24.In 3009, King Warren of Australia suspects the Earls of Akaroa, Bairnsdale, Clare- mont, Darlinghurst, Erina and Frankston are plotting a conspiracy against him. He questions each in private and they tell him: Akar o a : Frankston is loyal but Erina is a traitor. Bairnsdale : Akaroa is loyal. Claremont : Frankston is loyal but Bairnsdale is a traitor. Darlinghurst : Claremont is loyal but Bairnsdale is a traitor. Erina : Darlinghurst is a traitor. Fr a n k s t o n : Akaroa is loyal. Each traitor knows who the other traitors are, but will always give false informa- tion, accusing loyalists of being traitors and vice versa. Each loyalist tells the truth as he knows it, so his information on traitors can be trusted, but he may be wrong about those he claims to be loyal. How many traitors are there?

A magician deposits the same number of rabbits (at least one) at each of five houses. To get to the first house he crosses a magic river once, and to get to any house from another, he also crosses a magic river once. Each time he crosses a magic river, the number of rabbits he has doubles. He has no rabbits left when he leaves the fifth house. What is the minimum number of rabbits he could have at the start?
