Question 26 is 6 marks, question 27 is 7 marks, question 28 is 8 marks, question 29 is 9 marks and question 30 is 10 marks. How many whole numbers less than 2010 have exactly three factors? Two 10 x 18 x é blocks are placed on either side of a cylinder of length € to stop it from rolling. One block has a 10 x £ face on the ground while the other block has an 18 x ¢ face on the ground. The block on the left sticks out 4 units more than the one on the right. H What is the radius of the cylinder? 28. A 3-digit number is subtracted from a 4-digit number and the result is a 3-digit mares gooo-oo0-000 ‘The 10 digits are all different. What is the smallest possible result? 29. Thave a list of thirty numbers where the first number is 1, the last number is 30 and each of the other numbers is one more than the average of its two neighbours What is the largest number in the list? 30. There are many towns on the island of ‘Tetra, all connected by roads. Each town has three roads leading to three other different towns: one red road, one yellow road and one blue road, where no two roads meet other than at towns. If you start from any town and travel along red and yellow roads alternately (RYRY...) you will get back to your starting town after having travelled over six different roads, In fact RYRYRY will always get you back to where you started. In the same way, going along yellow and blue roads alternately will always get you back to the starting point after travelling along six different roads (YBYBYB). On the other hand, going along red and blue roads alternately will always get you back to the starting point after travelling along four different roads (RBRB). How many towns are there on Tetra?
