  1. This round has 8 problems, handed out in pairs. You have 6 minutes for each pair.
  2. When time is called for a pair, it is collected and the next pair is handed out. You cannot go back to a pair once it is collected.
  3. Calculators are allowed in this round.
  4. Write only your final answer in the blank in the right-hand column. Answers must be complete, legible and simplified, with fractions in lowest terms.
  5. If you finish a pair early, use the time to check your answers.
