  1. An RCMP code assigns numbers to letters: vowels = 1, consonants = 2. What is the code for 'STOP'?

    Answer: 2212

    S=2, T=2, O=1, P=2 — the code is 2212.

  2. If it takes 3 officers 6 hours to search a building, how long would it take 6 officers to search the same building?

    Answer: 3 hours

    Doubling the officers halves the time: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 hours.

  3. A suspect's alibi states he was at location A at 1 PM and location B at 2 PM. The distance between A and B is 120 km. Is this alibi possible by car?

    Answer: No, it requires 120 km/h average speed

    120 km in 1 hour requires exactly 120 km/h average speed, which is at or above highway limits and leaves no margin.

  4. In a series: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, what is the next number?

    Answer: 37

    The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9 (increasing by 2), so the next difference is 11, giving 26 + 11 = 37.

  5. Of 50 officers surveyed, 30 speak French, 25 speak Spanish, and 10 speak both. How many speak neither language?

    Answer: 5

    Using inclusion-exclusion: 30 + 25 − 10 = 45 speak at least one language; 50 − 45 = 5 speak neither.

  6. A patrol car drives east at 60 km/h. A second patrol car leaves the same point heading west at 80 km/h. After 1.5 hours, how far apart are they?

    Answer: 210 km

    Combined speed is 60 + 80 = 140 km/h; distance = 140 × 1.5 = 210 km.

  7. An officer states: 'Some frauds involve forgery, and all forgeries require skill.' Which must be true?

    Answer: Some frauds require skill

    Some frauds involve forgery (which requires skill), so some frauds must require skill.
