ANSWER:
Math puzzle 1:
The whale’s head is 6 feet long; His tail is as long as his head and half his body, and his body is half as long as his body. How long is a whale?
Answer – Forty-eight feet.
Math puzzle 2:
King Tut died 120 years after King Eros was born. The sum of their ages at death is 100 years. King Eros died in 40 BC. What year was King Tut born?
Answer – King Tut was born in 20 BC. There were 120 years from the birth of King Eros to the death of King Tut, but since their ages were only 100 years, there must have been 20 years when neither of them existed. This may have been the period between the death of King Eros, 40 BC, and the birth of King Tut, 20 BC.
Math puzzle 3:
At a children’s party, 10 children have juice, 8 children have cake, and 6 children have juice and cake. How many kids were at the party?
Answer – Twelve children. Six children had juice and cake, the remaining two children had cake without juice. Since there are ten juicers, there must be a total of twelve children.
Math puzzle 4:
Robert and David played several rounds of golf together in a week. They play for a pizza each game, but no pizza is purchased until the weekend. If at any time Robert and David have the same number of wins, those pizzas will be destroyed. Robert won four games (but no pizza) and David won three pizzas. How many rounds of golf have you played?
Answer – Eleven, David won 7 games, 4 games canceled out Robert’s 4 wins, and 3 more games to win the pizza.
Math puzzle 5.
