100 What shape completes the bottom line?

triangle pentagon square

square hexagon hexagon square pentagon hexagon hexagon hexagon square triangle hexagon octagon octagon octagon octagon ==?==

A. triangle

B. square

C. hexagon

D. pentagon

E. None of the above


Solution:

First note the number of sides of each shape and get the total sum of each line:

3 + 5 + 4 = 12;

4 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 20;

5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 30;

6 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + ..... = x.

Observe that the sum of each line follows an arithmetically progressing sequence; ie, ...12, 20,

30,....

Thus, the sum of the fourth line will be 42.

The unidentified shape will be 42 - (the sum of the figures in the fourth line) = 42 - 38 = 4.

The Square has 4sides.

32 Mr. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified, though. The train left on time for the one hour journey and it arrived 5 minutes late. However, Mr. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward by 3 minutes. His watch kept time during the day. On the return journey in the evening the train started on time according to his watch, and arrived on time according to the station clock. If the train travelled 25 percent faster on the

return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow?

A. It was fast

B. It was slow

C. It was accurate

D. The place of the clock is irrelevant



The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening

journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left,

that is, 3 minutes early.

74 My brother, Julian is a little simple. I recently asked him to buy me some ribbon for my daughter's pretty pink bonnet. He went to the haberdashery shop for the required length, but accidentally interchanged the feet and inches. When I measured the resulting ribbon, I only had

5/8 of the length I required. How much

ribbon did I originally ask for?

A. 8 feet, 4 inches

B. 7 feet, 4 inches

C. 7 feet, 7 inches

D. 6 feet, 4 inches

E. 9 feet, 4 inches


I asked for 7 feet, 4 inches and my brother brought me 4 feet, 7 inches. If we label what I asked

for as A feet and B inches, which is (12 x A + B) inches, then I actually received B feet and A

inches, which is (12 x B + A) inches. Which means that:

(5 / 8) x (12 x A + B) = (12 x B + A)

Simplifying gives:

A = (91 / 52) x B

As B is the number of inches, it can only be between 1 and 12 and must give A as a whole

number of feet. B = 4 is the only possible value, which means that A = 7. So I originally asked

for 7 feet, 4 inches.

18 One day, two friends named lbifuro and Boneri found a shiny quarter on the ground. To decide who would get it, Ibifuro would flip the coin. If it came up head, then Ibifuro would keep it, but if it was tail, Boneri would have to flip for it. If Boneri got head, Boneri would keep the coin, but if he got tail, then lbifuro would flip it and the entire process would repeat. Assuming that lbifuro goes first and that the coin has an equal chance of landing on either head or tail, what are the odds that lbifuro would keep the coin?

A. 2

/3

B. 3

/2

C. 1

/2

D. 1

/3

E. 1

/4


Solution

If lbifuro flipped heads, then he would win, and the odds of that happening would be 1/2.

However, he could also win if he flipped tails, Boneri flipped tails, and lbifuro flipped heads

afterwards. The odds of this happening would be:

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8

If this process were to continue indefinitely, then the odds of lbifuro winning would be

(1/2)+(1/8)+(1/32)+...+(1/2)(1/4)n

in which n equals an integer one greater than the end preceding it and one less than one integer

after it. Using the formula to obtain a solution for the summation of a geometric sequence, it is

possible to deduce that the summation equals

(1/2)/((1-(1/4))

which is simplified to 2/3.

65 For a motorist there are three ways going from City A to City C. By way of bridge the distance is 20 miles and toll is $0.75. A tunnel between the two cities

is a distance of 10 miles and toll is $1.00 for the vehicle and driver and $0.10 for each passenger.

69 A ship is twice as old as the ship's boiler was, when the ship was as old as the boiler is. What is the ratio of the boiler's age to the ship's age?

A. 3/4

B. 4/5

C. 5/6

and

S = 2 x (B - T)

Eliminate T to get:

B / S = 3 / 4.

70 You have the misfortune to own an unreliable clock. This one loses exactly 24 minutes every hour. It is now showing 3:00am, and you know that it was correct at midnight, when you set it. If the clock stopped 1 hour ago, what is the correct time now?

A. 6.00am

B. 5.00am

C. 4.36am

D. 4.30am

E. 3.36am


6:00am: since the clock is losing 24 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed,

the clock will only show 36 minutes. Since the clock shows 3:00am, we know that 180 clock

minutes have passed. This therefore equals 300 real minutes and hence 5 hours. The clock

stopped 1 hour ago and the time must now be 6.00am.
