The code word is TIE.
If you were told any one character of MOD, then you would not be able to determine whether the
number of vowels are one or two. e.g. if you were told M, there are two words with M - AIM with 2
vowels and MOD with 1 vowel. So you would not be able to say the number of vowels. Same
arguments can be given for characters O and D. Hence, the word with any one of M, O or D is not a
code word i.e. AIM, DUE, OAT and MOD are not the code word. Thus, TIE is the code word.
T : two words - TIE and OAT, both with 2 vowels
I : two words - TIE and AIM, both with 2 vowels
E : two words - TIE and DUE, both with 2 vowels.

We’ll start by representing the height of the large cylinder as h1 and the height of the small cylinder as h2. For
simplicity, we’ll let x = h1 + h2.]
If the bottom cylinder is completely filled and the top cylinder is only partially filled the top cylinder will have
a cylindrical space that is not filled. This cylindrical space will have a height equal to x – 20and a volume
equal to, (1)2 (x–20).
Similarly, if we turn the cylinder upside down there will be a cylindrical space unfilled that will have a height
equal to x – 28 and a volume equal to, (3)2(x–28).
Since these two unoccupied spaces must be equal, we then have,
(1)2(x – 20) = (3)2(x – 28)
x – 20 = 9x – 252
8x = 232
x = 29
Therefore, the total height is 29.

Since all radii have length , then PU=  and TU=      3. This tells us that two rows

of circles require a height of 3 before a third row begins.

Since  57.7, we can pack 57 double rows, each containing 100+99=199 circles.
3
Can we pack one final row of 100 circles? Yes. The square has sides of length 100 and our configuration of 57
double rows requires a height of 57 3 before the next row begins. Since100 – 57 3 >1, and since the circles
each have diameter 1, there is room for one final row of 100circles.
The number of circles used in this new packing is 57(199)+100=11 443
Thus, the maximum number of extra circles that can be packed into the square is
11 443–10 000 = 1443.
