M a t h l e t e s a square of perimeter P was di– vided into squares of perim– eter 1 by lines parallel to its sides. Find P. After you re– alized that this was the easiest of the fifteen problems on the test, a wave of helplessness swept over you. Only one thought ran through your mind, "Why am I doing this? Why? Because I am an IMSA Mathlete." "I felt that we did very well this year, considering we were competing on all four levels with only Junior and Soph– omore students," stated Math teacher Ron Vavrinek. After five NSML (North Suburban Mathmatics League) compe– titions, IMSA was in 2nd place overall. Both the Freshman and Sophomore teams finished in first place, the Juniors in 3rd, and the Seniors tied for 4th. Steve Collins and Mike Peil placed first in the Sophomore and Freshman di– visions respectively. Mike Peil looks on as Mr. Hamberg problem. . - A Latha Mariyappa, Sue Wu, Dave Joerg, and Quochung Do work on a team problem for com– petition.
