On a certain day, our parking lot contains 999 cars, no 1 point

two of which have the same 3 digit license number. After

numbers of the first 4 cars to leave the parking lot are
in increasing order of magnitude?*

Stations A and B are 120 miles apart on a single-track 1 point
railroad. At the same time that a train leaves A for B
at 25 mph, a train leaves B for A at 1 5 mph. Just as
the first train leaves A, a South American botfly flies
from the front of the engine straight toward the other
train at 100 mph. On meeting the second train it
immediately turns back and flies straight for the first
train. It continues to fly back and forth with
undiminished speed until it is crushed in the eventual
collision. How far had the fly flown?

The numbers are divided into three groups as follows: 0, 1 point

3, 6, 8, 9, in the first group, 1, 4, 7, 11, 14, ... in
the second group and 2, 5, 10, 12, 13, in the third. In
which groups would 1 5, 16, and 17 be placed?

15 and 16 would be in the third group and 17 in second.

15 and 19 would be in the third group and 17 in second.

15 and 15 would be in the third group and 17 in second.

A lighthouse shows successive one-second flashes of red, 1 point
white, green, green, white, red. A second lighthouse
does the same only with two second flashes. The six-
second sequence of the first lighthouse is repeated
steadily, as is the twelve second sequence of the other
lighthouse. What fraction of the time do the two lights
show the same color if the given sequences start at the
same time?

there of each color?

A game of super-dominoes is played with pieces divided 1 point
into three cells instead of the usual two, containing
all combinations from triple blank to triple six, with
no duplications. For example the set does not include
both 1 2 3 and 3 2 1 since these are merely reversals of
each other. (But, it does contain 1 32.) How many pieces
are there in a set?

Four boys, Alan, Brian, Charles and Donald, and four 1 point
girls, Eve, Fay, Gwen and Helen are each in love with
