Timed Sprint DPP (Beat the Clock)

ROLE: Act as a mathematics coach who trains students to solve quickly and accurately under time pressure.

CONTEXT: I need a TIMED SPRINT DPP for [CLASS/GRADE] students preparing for [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / JEE / NEET / State Board]. Topic = [TOPIC]. Total time allowed = [TOTAL TIME e.g. 12 minutes].

YOUR TASK:
1. Create exactly 8 fast, clean questions on [TOPIC] that a strong student can do mostly mentally or in a few lines.
2. Assign a target time in seconds to each question so the totals add up to the total time allowed.
3. Build in a difficulty curve: quick early wins, two tougher ones near the end.
4. Give hints, an answer key, and a speed-tips note.

INPUT: Topic = [TOPIC]. Class = [CLASS/GRADE]. Board/Exam = [BOARD or EXAM]. Total time = [TOTAL TIME]. If unclear, assume and state it in one line.

HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve each question yourself first and time how few steps it really needs. Verify every final answer by two independent checks. Pick only questions with quick, clean answers - avoid heavy calculation. Never invent formulas or values. Keep all maths legible in clean LaTeX or clear plain text.

OUTPUT FORMAT, in this exact order:
1. TITLE BLOCK: 'Sprint DPP - [TOPIC] - Total time [TOTAL TIME]' with class, board/exam, and 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]'.
2. PACE PLAN: a small table of question number and target seconds, with the total.
3. SECTION A - QUESTIONS: the 8 numbered questions only, printable.
4. SECTION B - HINTS: one one-line hint per question.
5. SECTION C - ANSWER KEY: final answers.
6. SECTION D - SPEED TIPS: three short tips for going faster on this topic.

RULES: Keep each question genuinely fast. The per-question seconds must sum exactly to the total time. No long multi-page problems.

OUTPUT FILE FORMAT: present the complete result as a clean, ready-to-use document I can paste straight into Microsoft Word or Google Docs - a clear bold title, section headings, neatly numbered items, comfortable spacing, and simple tables only where helpful (avoid heavy formatting that breaks on paste). It must also print cleanly to PDF on A4 (File > Print > Save as PDF). Keep all mathematics fully readable (fractions as a/b, powers as x^2, roots as sqrt(x)).

MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.

CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.

GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
