  1. What comes next: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ?

    Answer: 13

    This is the Fibonacci sequence, so 5 + 8 = 13.

  2. A train travels 60 miles in 45 minutes. What is its speed in miles per hour?

    Answer: 80 mph

    45 minutes is 0.75 hours, so 60 / 0.75 = 80 mph.

  3. If x + y = 10 and x - y = 4, what is x?

    Answer: 7

    Adding the equations gives 2x = 14, so x = 7.

  4. How many distinct ways can you arrange the letters in the word 'TOOT'?

    Answer: 6

    With two T's and two O's, arrangements equal 4! / (2! × 2!) = 6.

  5. A square has an area of 144. What is its perimeter?

    Answer: 48

    The side is √144 = 12, so the perimeter is 4 × 12 = 48.

  6. If 3 cats catch 3 mice in 3 minutes, how many cats catch 100 mice in 100 minutes?

    Answer: 3 cats

    One cat catches one mouse in 3 minutes, so in 100 minutes 3 cats catch about 100 mice.

  7. What is the missing number: 4, 9, 16, 25, ?, 49?

    Answer: 36

    These are perfect squares (2² through 7²), so the missing one is 6² = 36.
