Propose a method for measuring the diagonal of a conventional brick, which is easily realied in practice (without the Pythagorean theorem).

The seller with weights. With four weights the seller can weigh any integer number of kilograms, from 1 to 40 inclusive. The total mass of the weights is 40 kg. What are the weights available to the seller?

In the US, it is customary to record the date as follows: the number of the month, then the number of the day and then the year. In Europe, the number comes first, then the month and then the year. How many days are there in the year, the date of which can be read definitively, without knowing how it was written?

Two weighings. There are 7 coins which are identical on the surface, including 5 real ones (all of the same weight) and 2 counterfeit coins (both of the same weight, but lighter than the real ones). How can you find the 3 real coins with the help of two weighings on scales without weights?

Cutting into four parts. Cut each of the figures below into four equal parts (you can cut along the sides and diagonals of cells).

We are looking for the correct statement. In a notebook one hundred statements are written:

1) There is exactly one false statement in this notebook.

2) There are exactly two false statements in this notebook.

...

100) There are exactly one hundred false statements in this notebook.

Which of these statements is true, if it is known that only one is true?

Solve the rebus \(AC \times CC \times K = 2002\) (different letters correspond to different integers and vice versa).

Can the equality \(K \times O \times T\) = \(U \times W \times E \times H \times S \times L\) be true if instead of the letters in it we substitute integers from 1 to 9 (different letters correspond to different numbers)?

Rebus. Solve the numerical rebus \(AAAA-BBB + SS-K = 1234\) (different letters correspond to different numbers, but the same letters each time correspond to the same numbers)

Multiplication of numbers. Restore the following example of the multiplication of natural numbers if it is known that the sum of the digits of both factors is the same.
