SMO fail!

This year's SMO (Junior) is harder than last year's, or 2 years ago's. I also made many careless mistakes, as many questions need tedious calculations so I did not have time to check any question. I failed totally this year! Here are my answers:

B(C), A, A, B, D, A(C), B, D (E), E, A, 337, 59(47), 513, 2520, 6, 519(173), 2, 2012, 7, 6, 286, 26, 26(7), 641(133), 5?, 26, 7, 2009(948), 111, 142(90?), 7, 85, 63, 1220, 79497

Notice the number of answers being 26 or 7? I am very sure that some of the questions are set by Mr Teo. Many questions also have the numbers 26 and 7 in them.

Can someone who has taken SMO (Junior) or SMO (Senior) [taken by my sister this year] share your answers in the comments field?

  4. Question 1 for SMO junior requires the big circle to be tangent to BOTH c1 and c2. So i believe the answer is (A) 2.
