If I had one more sister I would have twice as many sisters as brothers. If I had one more brother I would have the same number of each. How many brothers and sisters have I?
This can be solved by simple deduction, but if algebra is used let x be the number of sisters and y the number of brothers :
x+ 1= 2y
y+ 1= x
Therefore, y + 1+ 1= 2y
so y =2 or x + 1= 2x – 2
so x = 3.
Which number is the odd one out?
159
248
963
357
951
852
In the rest there is the same difference between each digit, eg : 8 (–3) 5 (–3) 2.

In a game of eight players lasting for 70 minutes, six substitutes alternate with each player. This means that all players, including the substitutes, are on the pitch for the same length of time. For how long?
(70 × 8)÷ 14.
Total time for eight players = 70 × 8 = 560 minutes.
However, as 14 people are each on the pitch for an equal length of time, they are each on the pitch for 40 minutes (560 ÷ 14).
