A block of cheese comes in packaging with parallel lines of different colours printed on it. If you cut along the red lines then you will get 5 slices of cheese, if you cut along the yellow lines then there will be 7 slices, and along the green lines you will get 11 slices. How many slices will you get if you cut along the lines of all three colours?
In Neverland, only elves and gnomes live. Gnomes lie about their gold, but in any other instances they tell the truth. Elves lie when talking about gnomes, but in other instances they tell the truth. One day two neverlandians said:
\(A\): All my gold I stole from the Dragon.
\(B\): You’re lying.
Determine whether each of them is an elf or a gnome.
An old analogue clock speeds up by 9 minutes after 24 hours. If you went to sleep at 22:00 and set the correct time on the clock, then for what time should the alarm be set if you want it to go off at exactly 6:00? Explain your answer.
A digital clock shows the time in hours and minutes (for example, 16:15). While practising his counting, Pinocchio finds the sum of all the numbers on this clock (for example, \(1+6+1+5=13\)). Find the time at which the sum of these numbers will be at its maximum.
Which numbers can stand in place of the letters in the equality \(AB \times C = DE\), if different letters denote different numbers and from left to right the numbers are written in ascending order?
One day, Claudia, Sofia and Freia noticed that they brought the same toy cars to kindergarten. Claudia has a car with a trailer, a small car and a green car without a trailer. Sofia has a car without a trailer and a small green one with a trailer, and Freia has a big car and a small blue car with a trailer. What kind of car (in terms of colour, size and availability of a trailer) did all of the girls bring to the kindergarten? Explain the answer.
There are 40 weights of weights of 1 g, 2 g, ..., 40 grams. Of these, 10 weights of even weight were chosen and placed on the left hand side of the scales. Then we selected 10 weights of odd weight and put it on the right hand side of the scales. The scales were balanced. Prove that on one of the bowls of the scales there are two weights with a mass difference of 20 g.
Pinocchio correctly solved a problem, but stained his notebook. \[(\bullet \bullet + \bullet \bullet+1)\times \bullet= \bullet \bullet \bullet\]
Under each blot lies the same number, which is not equal to zero. Find this number.
Seven coins are arranged in a circle. It is known that some four of them, lying in succession, are fake and that every counterfeit coin is lighter than a real one. Explain how to find two counterfeit coins from one weighing on scales without any weights. (All counterfeit coins weigh the same.)
Four people discussed the answer to a task.
Harry said: “This is the number 9”.
Ben: “This is a prime number.”
Katie: “This is an even number.”
And Natasha said that this number is divisible by 15.
One boy and one girl answered correctly, and the other two made a mistake. What is the actual answer to the question?
