#462 - Hard Guess My Number Puzzle
One night, I thought of ways that can be used for creating a palindrome. So I decided that I will turn into a larger number by adding the reversed digits to the original number and keep doing it till I finally obtained a palindrome.
I am not sure if this process will always result in a palindrome eventually but I was able to produce a four digit palindrome. Can you guess my starting number?
My starting number was 192.
192 + 291 = 483
483 + 384 = 867
867 + 768 = 1635
1635 + 5361 = 6996
#463 - Trick Equation Problem
The following equation can be made correct by moving one small line. Can you find out how?
6 + 6 + 2 = 34034
Move one line from the plus sign and place it on the RHS as shown.
6 + 6 - 2 = 340/34
#464 - Number Sequence Puzzle
Can you complete the sequence?
192, 021, 222, 324, 252, 627, 2__, 9__?
282 and then 930.
This is because, every alternate number is in a sequence.
192, 222 and 252 have a gap of 30.
021, 324 and 627 have a gap of 303.

#469 - Interesting Math Problem
Alex and Martin are planning on a vacation. Alex says, "It will be better if we take the train to the hotel. We will reach faster."
To this, Martin says, "No. You are wrong. The train stops at halfway to the hotel and then we will have to walk the rest of the way. We should take the bikes to the hotel directly."
Alex says, "You are wrong."
Now, Alex takes the train while Martin takes the bike. The train travels with four times the speed of bike. The bike travels at twice the speed of walking.
Who do you think will reach the hotel first?
Martin
S = total distance to the hotel.
V = walking speed.
2V = bike speed.
8V = train speed.
A = time taken by Alex
M = time taken by Martin
A = (S/2)/8V + (S/2)/V = S/16V + S/2V
M = S/2V
Now if you notice, A exceeds M by S/16V. Therefore, Martin will reach the hotel first.
#470 - Easy Mathematics Trivia
Can you find a number that lies one third of the distance between 1/3 and 2/3?
Let us find a bigger multiple first. Lets multiply the numerator and denominator by 9 in both the numbers.
Now, 1/3 = 9/27
And, 2/3 = 18/27
Clearly, 12/27 lies one third on the distance between the two numbers now.
