You are given the numbers 777, 888 and 999. Using the numbers once and adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing, how can you make 999?
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
If other operators were allowed, another solution would be 999 modulo (888 x 777). I’m sure there are more solutions.
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999

Fill in the missing numbers in this number series.
16, 26, ?, 43, 50, ?, 61, 65, ?, 70, 71
The method to create the series is start by adding 10, then decrease the addend by 1 for each new number in the sequence. That gives us:
16 + 10 = 2635 56 68

A clock loses exactly ten minutes every hour. If the clock is set correctly at noon, what is the correct time when the clock reads 3:00pm?
3:36pm. For every 60 minutes of real time, the clock moves 50 minutes. Put another way, 60/50 = 1.2 real minutes per slow-clock minute.
In order for the clock to show 3:00pm, 180 of its slow minutes have to pass. 1.2 * 180 clock minutes = 216 real minutes or 3 hours and 36 minutes.
