Difficulty: hard. Especially when you aren't using a calculator.
However, this does mean that the problem is solvable that way and stuff will cancel when you realize the method to use. Of course, when you don't see the method, it's frustrating as hell.
Standard instructions for this series: No calculator allowed. Express answers in reduced form. Rationalize denominators. Radicals must be reduced. All numbers are base ten unless otherwise specified. Do not approximate radicals or π. Leave such answers as 1025π or √39, for example. Source: UVM Math Contest
