You don't wanna see the patterns they're trying to test GA 4th graders with. It took me 15 minutes to solve one because it pretty much include increasing with an equation. :eek:

Still 4. Just because you count the trunk as a leg, it still isn't a leg.

1.In a large western city, 80% of the phone numbers are listed, 20% of the phone numbers are businesses, and 20% of the phone numbers start with the numeral "2". If you were to take a random sample of 1000 phone numbers from the city's phone book, how many numbers would you expect to be unlisted, non-business phone numbers that start with a numeral other than "2"?
None. If they are unlisted they wouldn't be in the phone book.

the bird sings on step 33 (btw, the middle step is 25 (33 - 8))

he walks down 12 steps and picks up a pebble
33 - 12 = 21

He takes one step up and tosses the pebble over his left shoulder
21 + 1 = 22

Now, he walks up the remaining steps three at a time which only takes him 9 paces

3 x 9 = 27; 27 + 22 = 49
Duh! I started off with x/2 when it should have been (x+1)/2!

Supposing you are captain of a ship and it has three red funnels and it leaves New York on a Tuesday and gets to Southampton on Saturday and on the return trip reaches New York on Thursday, what is the name of the captain of the ship.

12dn94dst you are correct! :D The trick is that each row describes the one above it
Thus
1
(One One) 11
(Two Ones)21
(One Two, One One) 1211
