Modular arithmetic, prime factorization, and base conversions.

Since 17 is a prime number and larger than 13, the answer is 17 . Problem 2: Geometry & Ratios

Without a calculator, geometry problems in the Sprint Round rely on two things: standard formulas (Area, Volume, Pythagorean Theorem) and special right triangles (3-4-5, 5-12-13, 8-15-17, 30-60-90, 45-45-90).

The Sprint Round consists of that must be solved within 40 minutes . This leaves an average of only 80 seconds per question , requiring competitors to balance rapid calculation with meticulous precision.
