2. A pirate has buried his treasure chest under a beach, and he drew a map of the beach
in the form of a grid where each section is number from 1 to 49 as shown in the
diagram below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21

36 37 38 39 40 41 42
43 44 45 46 47 48 49
The shape of his treasure is made up of squares like those shown in the choices below
which are aligned perfectly with the grid above when buried. To find his way back to
the treasure, he made a note of the sum of all the grid numbers that sit above the
chest once buried. If the sum is 86, which of the following is a possible shape of the
chest?
None of the

tallest tower they could build using all their cups together?

7. Eight pupils from Victory Primary School take a Mathematics test, but none of the

8. Joanna and Kai’s car has broken down, so their daughter Layla comes to fetch them in
her own car. Only two people (including the driver) can fit into Layla’s car, so they use
the following procedure: Layla drives Joanna some distance in the car, while Kai
follows them on foot. Then Layla drops Joanna, who will continue on foot and turns
back, driving until she meets Kai. She picks up Kai and they drive onwards until they
catch up with Joanna. Then Kai and Joanna swap, and the process continues for 3 more
times until they all reach home. If Layla drives at a constant speed of 50 km/h and
Joanna and Kai both walk at a constant speed of 4 km/h, for what fraction of the
journey will Layla be alone in her car?

9. The diagram below has 10 boxes. The numbers in the second and ninth boxes are 177
and 130 respectively. Find the first number in the box if:

10. Grace and Michelle are playing a game with their teacher. The teacher places ten
counters of different colours and shapes on the table in front of them as shown in the
diagram below:
Red Yellow Red

Blue
Pink
Green Pink Green Yellow

The teacher tells them both that she has hidden a coin under one of the counters. She
then tells Grace the shape of the counter she has hidden it under, and tells Michelle
the colour of the counter. She proceeds to ask them in turn whether they know which
counter the coin is hidden under. They can only reply yes or no, but they can listen to
each other’s answers.
Their answers are as follows:

Grace: “No”.
Michelle: “No”.
Grace: “No”.
Michelle: “Yes”.
Assuming they answer “Yes” only when they are 100% sure and “No” otherwise,
which counter is the coin hidden under?

than 1)?
