Let the answer in the third question be ab/cd/efgh and let X = (a+b+c+d+e+f+g)/3. In other words, let n be 1/3 of the sum of the digits of the answer in number two. What percentage of seats did KMP get in the Xth Philippine Congress?
ANSWER: 27.50%
Gotten by: kadayao

ANSWER: 2.8 atm
Gotten by: no one
SEVENTH QUESTION
A gvuvuoyu is a fictional animal with circulatory system similar to that of a human's except that it has an average pressure of X, where X is the answer to the sixth question. If a gvuvuoyu is being traveled in an aircraft accelerating upward, solve for the minimum acceleration for which the blood supply to its brain stops.
Assumptions:
The blood pressure is constant all through out the system
The air pressure inside the aircraft remains constant
The density of the blood is the same as that of water
The brain is located 2012 cm above the heart
ANSWER: 4.379 m/s^2
Gotten by: no one
EIGHTH QUESTION

ANSWER: 4.571 x 10^-8 N/C
Gotten by: no one

TENTH QUESTION
Let X be the answer to the ninth question. Let Y be the greatest integer less than the cube root of X. How many ordered positive integer solutions (a1, a2, a3, ... , a2011, a2012) satisfy a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + a2011 + a2012 = Y?
ANSWER: 0
Gotten by: no one
ELEVENTH QUESTION
Let X be the answer to the tenth question. Give the nominal location for the place with absolute location X degrees North, X degrees East. (Hint: three words with initials SAO)
ANSWER: South Atlantic Ocean
Gotten by: no one
TWELFTH QUESTION
How many combinations of the letters in the answer to the eleventh question are there?
ANSWER: 22,230,464,256,000
Gotten by: no one
THIRTEENTH QUESTION
Let X be the answer to the twelfth question and let Y be the sum of the digits of X. Let Z = 3Y^2 + 21Y + 18. How many pythagorean triples (a,b,c) have a sum a + b + c less than or equal to Z?
ANSWER: 2013
Gotten by: no one
PRIZES:
(I decided to multiply by 13 the prizes)
Al Raposas - 2^(1-1) = 1CC * 2 = 2CC * 13 = 26CC
kmm225 - 2^(1-1) = 1CC * 2 = 2CC * 13 = 26CC
svetljo stefanov - 2^(3-1) = 4CC * 13 = 52CC
Boy Pick Up - 2^(3-1) = 4CC * 2 = 8CC * 13 = 104CC
kadayao - 2^(4-1) = 8CC * 2 = 16CC * 13 = 208CC
