Question 1

A series of arrows rotates 45° clockwise each step: →, ↘, ↓, ↙ … What is the 7th arrow in the sequence?

Accepted Answer

↗

Answer

The cycle repeats every 8 steps (360°÷45°=8); the 7th step is 270° clockwise from → which points ↗ (or equivalently 90° counter-clockwise).

Question 2

Two identical L-shaped pieces can be combined to form which of the following shapes without overlap or gaps?

Accepted Answer

A rectangle

Answer

Two congruent L-shaped tetrominoes can always be arranged to form a 2×4 or 4×2 rectangle by flipping one piece.

Question 3

A map shows a route: start, go North 3 blocks, East 4 blocks, South 1 block, West 2 blocks. What is the straight-line distance from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

√20 blocks

Answer

Net displacement: 2 East, 2 North → distance = √(2²+2²) = √8; however recalculating: East net=2, North net=2 → √8. Wait — let me restate: the answer √8 = 2√2 which equals approximately 2.83 blocks.

Question 4

A 3×3×3 cube is painted red on all exterior faces and then cut into 27 unit cubes. How many unit cubes have exactly 2 red faces?

Accepted Answer

12

Answer

The 12 edge cubes (not corners) of a 3×3×3 cube each have exactly 2 painted faces.

Question 5

When you look at a clock face in a mirror, the mirror shows 8:15. What is the actual time?

Accepted Answer

3:45

Answer

A clock reflected in a mirror shows the complement: subtract the mirror time from 12:00, so 12:00 − 8:15 = 3:45.
