There are three numbers. The first two are 2/3 and 3/4.
What does the third number have to be to make the average of all three be 2?
4 7/12
In order for the average of three numbers to be 2, they must all add up to 6. That gives you this equation:
Solve for n = 55/12, or 4 7/12.

230 – 220 x 0.5 = ?
You probably won’t believe it, but the answer is 5! How can this be true?
The answer is 120, and 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

This is what you know:
1. The name of this game is significant (Petals Around the Rose)
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.
