If you can get all 5 answers correct (and please time yourself and post how long it took you--we're trusting you :oldman )
The person with the fastest time will win!

I will send you a surprise gift in the mail from my secret stash!!! And it will be age appropriate for your kidlets.

Ok...Logical Reasoning is the Theme here.

1. I am a 2-digit number. The sum of my digits is 10. The tens and ones digits are odd. The tens digit is greater than the ones digit. What numbers can I be. (more than one? it says numberSSSS)

2. I am a 2-digit number. Both of my digits are even. Both of my digits are the same. What numbers can I be. (again...more than one. numbersssssss)

3. I am a number in the fourth row of the hundred chart. My ones digit is twice my tends digit. What number am I? (hundred chart is 1-100 starting in upper left corner with 1 -10 and then going down 11-20 etc)

4. I am a number in the last row on the hundred chart. My ones digit is even. The difference between the ones digit and tends digit is 5. What number am I?

5. I am a 2-digit number. The sum of my digits is 11. The tens digit is odd. THe ones digit is 3 less than the tens digit. What number am I?

Ok.....ready set look at the clock.......AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

RInglette, I think you mixed up your tens and ones. :teehee #1, #3, #5 were wrong. Or maybe it was the wine???? :cheers

Stacy, #3 was wrong, I think you forgot the teens in the hundreds chart? :shrug THe fourth row would be the 30's. :teehee

Freebird...you were sofa king close. You actually were all correct but you only put one answer in #1 and it specifically mentioned that there were more than on.

I typed the questions verbatim off their homework page. Only difference was there were more questions and math problems and in their book there is a printed hundreds chart.
I tried to describe it though? :shrug

:lmao LMFAO!!!:doh I did mix up the tens and ones, and for #3 I didn't even bother with "the 4th row" part.:lmao And I only had 1 glass last night.:lol

Maybe that's why I always did so bad in my math and science classes when I was a drunk stoner.:lol
