5. Artem is a very particular man. He follows a set of rules in selecting the colors of
his suit based on the weather. His coworkers first noticed this last week, and they
were able to conclude that:
Artem wears light-colored suits on sunny days, and dark-colored suits on rainy
days. On cloudy days, he wears dark-colored suits unless it has been cloudy for 2
days in a row, wherein he wears light-colored suits on the second day.
Based on their accounts, this was Artem’s selections for that week:
Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Cloudy
 Light Light Dark Dark Light Dark Light

However, they were not able to record the weather. All they know is that it was
cloudy on Tuesday, and that in that week, there were 3 sunny days, 2 rainy days,
and 2 cloudy days. Help them fill in the blanks.
Hint: Think outside the box.

10. You enter a room with still and odd clock designs. The time is formatted to show
minutes:seconds, similar to digital clocks. You see some of them read “02:43 x 4 |
10:52”, “16:24 x 2 | 32:48”, and more. You notice one with disassembled pieces.
The clock reads “_ _: _ _ x 3 | _ _: _ 7”. Beside this clock are numbers you can put
in the blank sections, which are [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 9]. Fix this clock to show its true
time.
Note: The format for clocks is made so that when seconds exceed 60, they roll
over to the minutes (For example, instead of 10:128, the time would be 12:08).
Additionally, the minutes cannot exceed 60 since there are no slots for them to roll
over to hours.

11. Mrs. Pearce is about to return the test papers to her students. Starting with Bella,

12. 4 of these shapes make up a 6x6 square when combined altogether. Which one

13. You have a 5x5 chessboard with 3 queens. We know that a queen can move
horizontally, vertically, and diagonally from its position in the board. Place the three
queens on the chess board in a way that they cover ALL the squares available
without attacking each other.

14. For your first pet, you bring home a baby rabbit from the pet store the day after it
was born. Rabbits reach sexual maturity in 5 months. The rabbit you chose can
give birth once a month, and each time, they give birth to 6 babies. Assuming none
of the rabbits die and you keep them all, how many rabbits will you have in 10
months?

15. Suppose you have 3 paints (Green, Red, Yellow) to color the 6 sides of this gray
cube. The condition for coloring it is that all the faces that touch should be of
different colors from each other. Using the 3 colors provided, how many color
patterns are possible for you to satisfy the condition? Note that you are not allowed
to swap colors and count it as another pattern (For example, Green-Red-Green-
Red is the same pattern Yellow-Green-Yellow-Green. Both can be represented by
b-2-b-2, so they only count as 1 pattern).

Hint: Its easier if you analyze the object in 2D

16. Your goal is to hit the most targets you can to earn 53 points? Which of the
following would you hit?

17. A shop was showcasing the 2-wheeled rides they have on sale. They were
arranged as: bicycle, bicycle, motorcycle, bicycle, motorcycle. The owner

(Simply swapping the places of 2 rides, count as 2 moves)

20. Regina accidentally pushed her alarm clock off her desk and broke it. When she
picked it up, she found that it made a crack that seemed to divide the face of the
clock into two. Additionally, she noticed that the sum of the numbers on each side
of this crack are equal to each other. Based on this information, what were the
numbers on both sides of the clock?

Side 1 = ?
Side 2 = ?
