Challenge Problem:
Problem 1:
What number are missing in 7,11,15,19,_,_

Solution:
The next problem is 4 more than the preceding number. Thus the missing
numbers are 23 and 27.
Problem 2:
Twenty more than the sum of 345 and 70 is what number?
Solution:
345+70+20=435
Problem 3:
The sum is 49. One number is 5 more than the other. What are the two
numbers?
Solution:
The answer is 49-5=44. Divide it by 2 we have 22. Add 5 to 22 we have 27.
Thus, the two numbers are 22 and 27.
Problem 4:
One number is 24. The second is 9 more than the first. What is their sum?

Solution:
The second number is 24+9=33. The sum is 33+24=57.
Problem 5:
Linda has 45.00. Joan has twice as much. How many money has Joan. How
much money do they have together?

Solution:
Since Joan has twice the money of Linda, she have 245=90.00. Altogether
they have 45.00+90.00=135.00
Problem 6:
Their sum is 37. One number is even and the other is odd. What numbers can
they be?
Solution:
You can start listing down from (1,36). If one number is Odd, automatically the
other will become even. You may then continue to (2,35) until you will reach
the pair (17,18). After that you have (18,17) but that is just the same as
(17,18). Just list down 17 pairs of numbers.

Problem 7:
My tens digit is 3 more than my ones digit and my hundreds digit is 1 less than
my tens. What numbers can I be?

Solution:
We can start from the biggest possible number that satisfies the given
condition. The number we are looking for belongs to the family of N-1 N N-3.
The maximum number is attained if N=9. 896, If N=8, 785, if N=7, 674, if N=6,
563, if N=5, 452, if N=4, 341. If N=3, 230. We cant let N=2 because it will give
us a negative number.

Problem 8:
I am an odd number. I am 9 more than 24. What number am I?

Solution:
The number is 9+24=33

Problem 9:
I am an even number. I am greater than 21 but less than 29. What number
can I be?
Solution:
Even numbers (N), 21<N<29. Those numbers are 22, 24, 26, and 28.
Problem 10:
Their sum is 46.

1. What 2-digit number can they be if both are odd?

 2. What numbers can they be if both numbers are even?
Solution:

1. A lot of numbers like (23,23), (21,25), (19,27)

2. Still a lot of numbers like (22,24),(20,26),(2,44)
Challenge Part 2:

Problem 1:
My tens digit is 2 more than my ones digit. My hundreds digit is one more
than my tens digit. What numbers can I be?

Solution:
Let ABC are the numbers

Tens digit is 2 more than ones digit: B=C+2 or C=B-2

Hundreds digit is one more than my tens digit: A=B+1

Writing all digits in terms of B we have, B+1 B B-2

We can write down all possible numbers by letting B=8 to B=2.

The set of numbers are {986,875,764,653,542,431,320}

Problem 2:
Twenty-six children were in a room. Then, 7 of them went out and 10 came in.

The left pan went down with a bag of cubes and 5 cubes outside the bag. Tom
took one cube at a time from the bag with cubes and put each into the right
pan. The two pans balanced when Tom had placed 15 cubes into the right
pan. How many cubes were in the bag at first?

Solution:
Let N be the numbers of cubes inside the bag in the left pan and assume that
the cubes are in uniform size and density.

N+5=12+15

N=27-5

N=22

Problem 1:
Today, Betty added her age and her sisters age and obtained 10 as the sum.
What would the sum of their ages be after one year?

Observe that there is a pattern in Blue,green,red,black,yellow. The color of
Butterflies repeats every 5 draws. Following the pattern. 17=53+2. Thus the
color must be the same as the second draw. The answer is Green.
Problem 6:
Tomas found an old book in the attic. When he opened it, there was page 24
on the left side, and page 55 in the right. How many sheets of paper are
missing between these two pages?

Solution:
Every page has two page numbers. Front and back. The missing pages are
54-25+1=30. We need to divide that by 2 to get the number of pages. Hence
the answer is 15 pages.
Problem 7:
Lea owns 1 white, 2 black and 3 brown pigs. If all of these pigs could talk, how
many of them could truthfully say I am the same color as one or more of the

Problem 8:
What is the tens digit of the largest four-digit even number which uses each of
the digits 5,7,8, and 9 exactly once?

Solution:
Before we can answer the question we need to know first the largest 4-digit
even number that can be formed using the given digits. Since there is only 1
even digit 8. The ones digit must be 8. To maximize the number, the first digit
must be 9,followed by 7 and 5. Thus the largest number here is 9758. 5 is the
tens digit.
