This is the architect’s impression of Smith’s new storage facility for all his Maths
goodies. It’s built now but he’s not seen it yet. However he has spoken over the
phone to a few of the guys who have been working on site:
-The gardener says the square garden along the edge is 671m . 2

-The roofer let him know that when his 17m ladder is placed so that it reaches the
top of the wall, the ladder base is 16m from the foot of the wall. -The glazier who
is installing the semi-circular frontage of the roof says the exact surface area of
glass is 183 π /8m .
2

The question is, what’s the volume he has for storage (don’t include the roof
storage).

Put the digits 1 through 5 into five of the circles
below. If a circle contains the digit n, then the circles
that are n clockwise and n counterclockwise from
that circle should also contain digits.

It's the last day of my holiday. It's roasting- so warm that I pull the chain to
get the ceiling fan going. Nothing happens.

It's only then I realise there's been a power cut. And two hours later, when
we're about to leave our villa, the power is still down. When power is
restored, the fan will be on. That's a waste. But I can't remember how many
settings there are on the fan. The fan doesn't have a model number but when I
Google the manufacturer's website I find that they only make four different
fans, with different speed settings (low, medium, high, very high) that you
cycle between as you pull the chain.

How can I make sure the fan will be in the "off" position when the power is
restored after we have left for home?

A 40 kg rock was used to weigh things on a

balance scale. The rock was dropped and it
broke into four pieces. Using combinations
of the four pieces all the whole number
weights from 1 to 40 kg could be weighed on
the balance scale. What is the weight of the
largest piece?

A number's persistence is defined as "the repetitions

required to obtain a single digit"... so for example, the
additive persistence of 8786 is three: 8+7+8+6 =29 → 2+9
= 11 → 1+1=2 and its multiplicative persistence is six:
8x7x8x6 = 2688 → 2x6x8x8 = 768 → 7x6x8= 336 →
3x3x6= 54 → 5x4= 20 → 2x0 = 0.

The additive persistence of 31415 is two: 3+1+4+1+5=14

→ 1+4 = 5 as is its multiplicative persistence since
3x1x4x1x5 = 60 → 6x0 = 0.
What is the smallest number with an additive and
multiplicative persistence of three?

 T2W7

 T2W8 5/12
 T3W1 60 times altogether
 T3W2 1kg, 3kg, 9kg and 27kg.
 T3W3

 T3W4 The missing number had to be 6 (the sum of the digits of the previous two
give the new number so 3+0+2+1=6).
 T3W5 3!
 T3W6
 T3W7 The answer to the paperclip puzzle was 17.6+2.2π
 T3W8 181 melons left over!
 T4W1 289. 2+8+9=19 2x8x9=144 → 1+9 =20 → 1x4x4=16 → 2+0 = 2 → 1x6 = 6
 T4W2 You need 4 numbers – 16, 2, 3, 26 are the smallest.
 T4W3 590
 T4W4 smaller rectangles would have a perimeter of 140cm.
