2 Row 1 (bottom of the figure): 4+3+2+1=10

Row 2 (second from the bottom): 3+2+1=6
Row 3 (third from the top): 2+2=4
Row 4 (second from the top): 2 2
Row 5: (the top of the figure): 1
Hence, the total number is 10+6+4+2+1=23

METHOD 1
After nine years Tom’s age will increase by 9 and Jerry’s as well. Hence, the
sum will increase by 9+9=18. The sum of their ages after eleven years will
43
be 25+18=43.
METHOD 2
In the beginning:

After 9 years both of their ages will increase by 9:

27
Hence, the sum will increase by 9+9=18. The sum of their ages
after eleven years will be 25+18=43.

6 are not required.
6 When we cut 1 piece into three parts we get 3 more pieces. Since
32  17  15 , we need 15 more pieces.
5
( PIECES)
15  3  5 Hence, 5 pieces were cut into three parts.

7 If there 2 girls in the family, then each of these girls will only have 1
sister. Thus, there are at least 3 girls.
If there 2 boys in the family, then each of these boys will only have 1
brother. Thus, there are at least 3 boys. 6
The smallest possible number of children is 6 (3 boys and 3 girls)

8 Let us draw the figure above and count the 8

number of boxes. There are 49 boxes.

11 Initial difference between boys and girls is 47  29  18 . Every week, 11 are not required.
the difference is reduced by 9  6  3 . There will be the same number
of boys and girls when the difference is 0. Therefore, since 18  3  6 ,
after 6 weeks there will be the same number of boys and girls.

12 The yellow pen is the second pen on the left, since it is next to the
green (which is first). The red pen is the third, since it is next to the
12
yellow. The white pen is fourth and blue is fifth. Thus, the order is
Green, Yellow, Red, White, and Blue.
Green, Yellow,
Red, White, Blue

13 Let us numerate the small rectangles.

List of all rectangles: 30

1, 12, 123, 1234, 2, 23, 234, 3, 34, 4 (10 rectangles)
5, 56, 567, 5678, 6, 67, 678, 7, 78, 8 (10 rectangles)
15, 1526, 152637, 15263748, 26, 2637, 263748, 37, 3748, 48

Therefore, there are 30 rectangle in total.

15 Before Chloe divides the number N, it is 9 times as large as her final

answer, 12. So, we can determine N by calculating 9  12  108 . Then,
Mia accidentally adds the 9 to the 108 to get her answer: 117.

be 3. Use the two least digits in the minuend and arrange them from least
to greatest (from hundreds digit to units digit). Arrange the other two digits
from greatest to least in the subtrahend(from hundreds digit to units digit).
412  365  47 is the lowest possible difference.

17 In order to have the maximum number of regions, every new line must be
added in such a way that each pair of lines intersect at a unique point in
the interior of the circle. 17

If 2 straight lines are drawn and they intersect,

4 parts are created.
11
If 3 intersecting lines are drawn, at most, 7 parts
may be created.

18
If four lines are drawn, the greatest
number of parts we can create is 11.

From the table above, we can observe that when we increase number of rabbits by 1,
difference between their legs is decreased by 2. To get the difference of 40,98  58  40 , we
need increase number of rabbits by 58  2  29 . Thus, the number of parrots in the store is 80.

20 When the hundreds digit is 9.

987, 986, 985, 984, 983, 982, 981, 980 (8 numbers)
976, 975, 974, 973, 972, 971, 970 (7 numbers)
…. … … … (6 numbers)
Continuing the same way there are 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36 numbers with hundreds digit 9.
When the hundreds digit is 8, the same way as for 9, there are 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28 numbers
with hundreds digit 8.

Continuing the same way for other hundreds digit we get
