Roll #2 – Score: 4
Roll #3 – Score: 4
Roll #4 – Score: 8
Roll #5: 0
This is what you know:
1. The name of this game is significant (Petals Around the Rose) 2. The answer is always even
How is the score determined?
The solution is to count the dots (petals) surrounding the center dot (the rose).
Only odd numbers have a center dot, so even numbers (2, 4 and 6) are worth zero.
1 doesn’t have any surrounding dots, so it too is worth zero.
The three has two dots surrounding the center, so it’s worth two.
A five has four petals around the rose making it worth four.

Debbie starts driving her dragster from rest and constantly accelerates to 60 mph in 10 seconds. How far does she travel in those 10 seconds?
1/12 mile
Ten seconds is 1/6 of a minute and 1 minute is 1/60 of an hour, so 10 seconds is 1/360 of an hour.
If you graph her trip with the speed on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis, you get a triangle with height of 60 mph and width of 1/360 of an hour. To calculate the area of the triangle, you multiply 1/2 × 1/360 × 60 = 1/12.

Given the numbers 1, 6, 7 and 9, find an equation that equals 24. You may only use each digit once.
91 – 67 = 24 or (9 – 6) x (7 + 1) = 3 x 8 = 24 or 6 x √9 + 7 – 1 = 18 + 6 = 24
91 – 67 = 24 or (9 – 6) x (7 + 1) = 3 x 8 = 24 or 6 x √9 + 7 – 1 = 18 + 6 = 24

If you and a friend have the same amount of apples, how many does she need to give you in order to have 10 more apples than her?
She will always need to give you 5 apples. You both need at least 5 apples to begin with, but apart from that it doesn’t matter exactly how many you each have. When she gives you 5 you will have 10 more than her because she will lose 5 and you will gain 5, resulting in a net difference of 10.
For example, if you each have 25 apples and she gives you 5 of hers, she will be left with 20 and you will now have 30, precisely 10 more than she has.
