B After removing one card, the sum is 8 times

bigger than the card pulled out. That means,
3 x 11 x 61 + 3 + 11 + 61 the new sum is a multiple of 8.
= 2013 + 75 The only possible sum for that will be 40.
=2088 Thus the card pulled out must be 5.

If we take the value of with 4 decimal We can consider all possible cases for six
places, we have the difference as steps by mapping the possible steps made.
3.14159 3.142 = 0.00041 For Step 1, we can only choose a) since there
are currently no black balls outside.
Similarly, if we use with 5 decimal places,
For Step 2, we can either use a) and b). Lets

The sum of the nine cards is

( )
1 + 2 + 3 + + 9 = = 45
This maps the possible cases for Steps 1 to 4.

From the addition table we have

+ = 16 6
+ = 23
+ = 19
Observe that the possible choices for Step 5 Adding three equations we have
are: 4B + 4W, 2B + 4W and 4W.

So we have 2 + 2 + 2 = 58
+ + =2 29
From this,
= 29 ( + ) = 6
= 29 ( + ) = 10
= 29 ( + ) = 13
So, the product of the three numbers is
6(10)(13) = .

And moving on to Step 6,

From this we have these possible outcomes

after six steps: 6B + 6W, 4B + 6W, 2B + 6W
and 6W. Therefore, are 4 possible outcomes
after six steps.

We start with 7 uncut plots:

problem says that they do not work together,
From this, we have = = . we need one man to work and additional one
hour to completely cut the seven plots.
18. Correct
That means the least number of hours needed

Lets say we have Bookshops A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
and H.
We can connect each bookshop if the both
share a common book.
For example: A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E, A-F and A-G.
It is stated in the problem that each shop
shares a common book that means we have a
total of:
7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28 books.

From the information, we know that the
innermost white tiles have 8 more tiles than
the black one. Similarly, the outermost white
tiles are 8 more than the black tiles.
So if we let
be the number of innermost white tiles,
then
Since the 1234567891011198199200 is to
be divided into blocks of three, the number of
digits in the first 34 blocks is 3(35 1) =
102.
Also, from 1 to 99, there are a total of
9 + 2(99 10 + 1) = 189 digits.
That means that the 35th block is found
between the two-digit numbers.
With this in mind, the first three blocks will
contain the 9 one-digit numbers:
123 456 789
Followed by the next set of two-digit
numbers:
112, 113555 4th to 34th
Where 555 is formed with: 55, 56, 57
Therefore, the 35th block is 657.
25. Correct

+ 8 is the number of black tiles

( + 8) + 8 is that of the outermost area Items answered correctly:

Since the total of white tiles is 60 more than Questions 1-10: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 6(3) = 18
the black tiles, we have
Questions 11-20: 11, 12, 15, 18, 20 5(4) = 20
+ ( + 8) + 8 = 60 + + 8
Questions 21-25: 25 1(6) = 6
2 + 16 = 68 +

= 68 16
Total Items Answered: 12/25
= 52
Total Points: 44/ 95
So the number of innermost white tiles is 52.
Thus, the length of the pool is (52 4) 4
0.5 = 6m. Hence the area is m2.
