Calculate the number 9274
NUMBERMANIA: Calculate the number 9274 using numbers [5, 8, 2, 9, 47, 681] and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). Each of the numbers can be used only once. MAGIC SQUARE: Calculate A-B-C
The aim is to place the some numbers from the list (7, 9, 15, 16, 17, 24, 42, 44, 51, 78, 93) into the empty squares and squares marked with A, B an C. Sum of each row and column should be equal. All the numbers of the magic square must be different. Find values for A, B, and C. Solution is A-B-C. Find number abc
If 6a777 - bb827 = 57a5c find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist. 
The Sailor and the computer
A retired sailor purchased a computer and began to learn all about computing. Being a sailor, he was used to addressing his ships as "She" or "Her". But was unsure what was proper for computers.
To solve his dilemma, he set up two groups of computer experts: one group was male, and the other group was female.
The group of women reported that computers should be refereed to as "HE" because:
1. In order to get their attention you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a newer and better model.
The group of men reported that computers should be refered to as "SHE" because:
1. No one but the creator understands their logic. 2. The native language they use to talk to other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else. 3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retrieval. 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
Find the right combination
The computer chose a secret code (sequence of 4 digits from 1 to 6). Your goal is to find that code. Black circles indicate the number of hits on the right spot. White circles indicate the number of hits on the wrong spot. Calculate the number 301
NUMBERMANIA: Calculate the number 301 using numbers [7, 4, 7, 8, 72, 231] and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). Each of the numbers can be used only once. Find number abc
If 4b9cb - ac5c8 = 5a94 find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist. Find the right combination
The computer chose a secret code (sequence of 4 digits from 1 to 6). Your goal is to find that code. Black circles indicate the number of hits on the right spot. White circles indicate the number of hits on the wrong spot. Calculate the number 2861
NUMBERMANIA: Calculate the number 2861 using numbers [4, 3, 7, 5, 22, 394] and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). Each of the numbers can be used only once. MAGIC SQUARE: Calculate A*B+C
The aim is to place the some numbers from the list (6, 8, 10, 16, 18, 20, 43, 45, 47, 49, 66) into the empty squares and squares marked with A, B an C. Sum of each row and column should be equal. All the numbers of the magic square must be different. Find values for A, B, and C. Solution is A*B+C. Find number abc
If c066b + a76ab = 38c78 find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist.
