What is the page number for the first page of this chapter?
3. Consider a certain 2-digit number. If a 4-digit number is created from this
2-digit number by appending the number '1' both to the left of the first digit and
to the right of the second digit, the value of this new 4-digit number is 1190
more than that of the original 2-digit number.

What is that original number?

4. If a teacher divides the students in his class into 4 groups, he will have 2

number of students who can join these special lessons?
6. Paul had discovered that there is a 2digit number in which if it is multiplied by

7. What is the largest odd number less than 1000 that has a remainder of 4 when it
is divided by 5 and a remainder of 2 when it is divided by 3?
8. Find a 2digit number such that the sum of its tens digit and the square of its
unit digit will yield the original number again.
9. Suppose the first digit on the left of a 6digit number is 1 and this digit is moved
to behind the last digit on the right. If this new 6digit number is 3 times the
original number, what are the last three digits on the right of the original 6digit
number?

X T
numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Find W X + Y T when
+
is at
W Y
minimum.
12. Among all 4digit numbers, how many will require occur some "carry" when
they are added to 6574?

(For example, 1234 + 6574 = 7808 has one carry but

1225 + 6574 = 7799 has no carry.)

13. Select 3 numbers from a group of 6 numbers 5, 8, 11, 7, 9, and 12. Add two of
the selected numbers and multiply the sum by the third number. Among all the
different selections, what would be the smallest product?
14. As shown in the figure on the right, there are 12 small
squares in the rectangle. Each square has a side length
of 4. If AB, AC, and BC are all straight lines, what is
