What 5-digit number satisfies the following requirements?
1. No zeroes
33264.
There are several ways of solving this. One way is to represent each spot with a letter, A – E.
Then you have these equations:
A = B
By simplifying, you get:
4 * A + 3 * C = 18
Plug in values for A and C to find that A = 3 C = 2.

What word comes next?
one three five four ______
Four. Each word is the number of letters in the previous word. And since four has four letters, it would continue with four forever after.

On a remote (imaginary) island, there are 11 snakes and a single mouse. As you’d expect, snakes eat the mice. But contrary to what you’d expect, when a snake eats a mouse, it turns into one.
The snakes live by only two rules:
1. Don’t get eaten.
How many snakes and mice will there be left on the island?
10 snakes, 1 mouse.
If there were only a single snake and mouse, the snake could eat the mouse, then turn into one, leaving a single mouse.
If there were two snakes and a single mouse, rule 2 would keep either of the snakes from eating the mouse to avoid being eaten themselves.
With three snakes and one mouse, one of the snakes could eat a mouse and be safe as a mouse thanks to rule 2.
This pattern continues. With an even number of snakes, nothing happens. With an odd number of snakes, one snake can eat the mouse.
Thus, with 11 snakes, one snake would eat the mouse, turn into one and leave 10 snakes and 1 mouse.

At a party of thirty-five people there are twice as many women as children and twice as many children as men. How many of each are there?
20 women, 10 children and 5 men.
To figure it out, let m be the number of men and you get this equation:
4m + 2m + m = 35
20 women, 10 children and 5 men.
To figure it out, let m be the number of men and you get this equation:
4m + 2m + m = 35
