    1. a^2-b^2 = (a+b)*(a-b) = 500*10
    2. here 2 letters must be arranged in an ordered way in 5 distinct positions so 5c2(for 1 and 2) = 10. For the remaining 3 positions - 3 different letters are there so 3*2*1
    In total =. 10*3*2*1 = 60
    3. MATHLETE is repeating and so every 8th letter will end in E(word's ending) so 2008 which is a multiple of 8 will end in E. Then 2009 and 2010 letters are M and A respectively.

    1:36 For this question, we do this:
    The pattern is:
    MATHLETEMATHLETEMATHLETE...
    we have to find the 2010th position.
    So, the number of letters in the word 'MATHLETE' = 8
    When we divide 2010 by 8
    The remainder we get is 2 (2010-8*251)
    So, the 2nd letter in the word 'MATHLETE' is the correct answer (which is A).

    2nd question, after 16 letters the characters starts to repeat, so 2010/16 is 125.625, now skip the .625 part and focus on 125, 16*125 is 2000, 2010-2000 = 10, the 16 characters can perfectly repeat 125 times and they make 2000 characters in total, so now the only thing you've to do is check which character is in or will come in the 10th position, which is A. 😅
    Okay I overlooked, they're repeating after 8th characters so yeah you can still do it, 2010/8 = 251.25, 251*8= 2008, 2010-2008= 2, and you get A.

    Third question:
    Compute the remainder of 2010 when divided by 8. Since 1000=8*125, you can look only at the last three digits, so it's the remainder of 10 by 8, which is 2. The second letter in mathlete is a.

    1:15 Very easy! The 8 letter word "MATHLETE" is being repeated. You want to know what letter is number 2010. Then you use the 8 times table. 800 + 800 + 400 = 2000. Then 10 remains, that gives you one MATHLETE, and the beginning two letters of the next MATHLETE: "MA". Thus the answer is "A".

    It's really admirable how Scott is able to solve those questions at a very young age in front of a crowd, He is just extraordinary. But when you think about it, the questions are not really at a very brilliant level. For instance,
    1. It's literally a difference of squares and the very fundamental identity a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b) can be used, So 255²-245²=(255-245)(255+245)=5000.
    2. This one is a pretty classical question in permutations and combinations classes. If 1 is to the left of 2, Then there are 4 places 1 can be i.e. 1----, -1---, --1--, ---1-. Similarly 2 can be placed in 10 total places. The other numbers can be arranged anywhere resulting in 10*3!=10*6=60
    3. The word 'MATHLETE' has 8 letters and 'A' is at the 2nd position, that means 'A' will also occur at every position of the form (8k+2) where 'k' is a whole number. Since 2010(mod8) = 2, i.e, 2010 can be represented as 8k+2 for some integer 'k', you know the position 2010 must contain 'A'. Any number 'x' with the property x(mod8) = 2 will possess the letter 'A'
    Now, my argument is that while Scott is indeed a CS and Math prodigy, the questions proposed in the competition are not really the level they should be. Anyone with even 10 hours of practice can ace these questions in seconds. They feel really complex if you don't have a strong grasp over the subject but for someone who has been given this training at a very early stage in life, these questions are a piece of cake. I bet if this was a Chinese or Indian test, he would probably not get the fastest answer.
    For instance when I heard about Scott getting the questions blazingly fast, I tried to attempt them myself without having any idea what the questions were and I was able to get the answers nearly as fast as Wu(I was about 4-5 seconds slower than Scott because ofcourse I'm not a prodigy and I'm 17).
    It's really harsh to see Scott being known as the guy who solved the math competition questions while he should be known for his Google kickstart participation and others contributions which are way more appreciable than those 3 questions.

    i asked chatgpt the first question and it says its 18 not 60 .
    and this is the reasoning
    In the arrangement where the digit 1 is to the left of the digit 2, there are indeed more possibilities than initially considered.
    When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the second position:
    There are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, which gives
    3
    !
    3! permutations.
    Total arrangements for this case:
    1
    ×
    1
    ×
    3
    !
    1×1×3! =
    6
    6.
    When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the third position:
    Again, there are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, resulting in
    3
    !
    3! permutations.
    Total arrangements for this case:
    1
    ×
    1
    ×
    3
    !
    1×1×3! =
    6
    6.
    When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the fourth position:
    Once more, there are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, yielding
    3
    !
    3! permutations.
    Total arrangements for this case:
    1
    ×
    1
    ×
    3
    !
    1×1×3! =
    6
    6.
    Adding up the arrangements from each case:
    6
    +
    6
    +
    6
    =
    18
    6+6+6=18
    Upon reevaluation, the total number of such integers where the digit 1 is to the left of the digit 2 is indeed 18, not 60. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

    The mathlete one wasn't hard, but in that speed, yes.
    You just count how many letters are in mathlete which is 8. So you divide 2010 by 8 to see how many times you can fit that word in 2010 times. But it's not complete, you get a fraction. 2010/8 is 251.25. that means it's only 1/4 through the last word. Because there are 8 letters, 1/4 of the word is the letter A.
    Here's why:
    M .125 (1/8)
    A .25 (2/8)
    T .375 (3/8)
    H 50(4/8)
    L .625(5/8)

    Well, to be honest the questions in the beginning aren't really difficult. You can easily solve them if you know basic Algebra and Permutation and Combinations. Solving them that fast tho, requires a lot of practice. I could solve them in around 15 seconds.
