Problem of the Week

By Trudy Gau

I will be announcing last week's winners at assembly on Monday.

 

Mild:

What colour will the 20th bear be in each of these patterns?

                                               

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use green, yellow and purple bears to create a pattern where the 12th and 20th bear will be green.

 

Medium:

Gina is taller than Henry but shorter than Jennie. 

Ivan is taller than Katie but shorter than Gina. 

Who is the tallest of these five people?

 

Spicy:

There are more than 20 solutions for this cryptarithm. 

Can you find the SMALLEST possible solution? 

Remember: In a cryptarithm every letter must represent a different digit.
