    There are 8 problems in this exam. Make sure that you have them all.

    Do all of your work in this exam booklet, and cross out any work that the grader should ignore.
    You may use the backs of pages, but indicate what is where if you expect someone to look at it.
    Books, calculators, extra papers, and discussions with friends are not permitted. Telepathic
    communication with mathematically talented ducks is allowed, although you must also turn in the
    duck for grading along with your exam (geese and other fowl are not allowed).

    Use non-erasable pen (not red) if you want to be able to contest the grading of any problems.
    Questions with erasures will not be regraded.

    Leave all answers in exact form (that is, do not approximate π , square roots, and so on.)

    You have 90 minutes to complete this exam.
