#31 - Mismatch Sum Puzzle

A bank customer had £100 in his account. He then made 6 withdrawals, totaling £. He kept a record of these withdrawals, and the balance remaining in the account, as follows:

Withdrawals Balance left
£50 £50
£25 £25
£10 £15
£8 £7
£5 £2
£2 £0
£100 £99


Why are the Totals not exactly right ?

Mismatch Sum Puzzle

There is no reason whatever why the customer's original deposit of £100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
The total of withdrawals in the left-hand colum may equal £100, but is is purely coincidence that the total of the right-hand column is close to £100.
Let us show another example, but starting with £200 in the bank:
Withdrawals Balance left
£50 £150
£25 £125
£10 £115
£8 £107
£5 £102
£2 £100
£100 £699
Moral of this story? Don't Total Balances.

#37 - Maths Handshake Puzzle

At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?

Maths Handshake Puzzle

12

In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.

Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.

#40 - Find Number Puzzle

Can you find the least possible number such that

If the number is divided by 3 , it gives the remainder of 1;
If the number is divided by 4 , it gives the remainder of 2
If the number is divided by 5 , it gives the remainder of 3;
If the number is divided by 6 , it gives the remainder of 4.

Find Number Puzzle

58.

Approach
LCM of the numbers 3,4,5 & 6 is 60.

So if i divide 60 by any of the four number , it gives remainder as 0.
Now to get reminder as desired, is should be 2 short of 60. (3-1,4-2,5-3,6-4 )
