3. ADP QTS HKR STE Pick 1, it is not a perfect square.
4. RHCAI OEST HNDA ADEH Not sure...
5. ADF MPR ILN EHJ Pick 2, it doesn't start with a vowel.
6. STV XYA KKT BDE Pick 3, the only one with two odds and one even.
7. 956 794 884 678 pick 4, the only one that doesn't sum to 20 for all digits.
8. 1,4,16 17,20,24 8,11,18 19,20,5 pick 4 obviously.

11. LKJI XYWV WVUT KJIH pick 1, only one with odd beginning char.

Fill in the blank:

1. 2,3,7,8,13,14,(20) since diff by 4, 5, 6


2. 0 1 1 2 4 8 (16) add them all up.
3. 3,6,18,108,(1944) (18 * 6 = 108,therefore 18*108)
4. 1,1,4,2,13,3,40,4,(121)(1+3^1=4,4+3^2=13,13+3^3=40,40+3^4=121)
5. 3 7 13 21 (31) (diff 2)

9. 4 12 6 18 12 36 30 (90)(odd positions times 3 is the even positions)
10. 1 5 (8) (1 + 22 = 5, 5 + 21 = 7 ,7 + 20 = 8)
11. D, H, L, (p) (same distance)
12. 10 14 23 39 64 (100)(distance is perfect squares)
13. 10 74 202 394 650(distance is 64)
14. 2 8 5 6 8 (4) 11(2、5、8、11, all done by adding 3. Then subtract 2,so 8、6、4)
15. 16 30 46 62 (13+3, 29+1, 43+3, 61+1 just find the sequential preceeding prime)
16. 1:4:27:256:? Answer: 3125
17. 2, 5, 26,(677)(Previous number square plus one)
18. ASSERTIVENESS-> SENSSAEVISTRE : MULTINATIONAL -> ? Did not do.

Minor Tips:

1. It might be useful to have a char to indice map written down on paper before the
assessment.
2. It is also useful to have a 8 direction compass written down to save you some time and
for your visualization on the direction problems.

Good luck guys.
