At this moment Dylan has 64   3  1  16 candies and Aiden has 16  3  48 candies.
Hence, Aiden originally has 48  19  67 candies

smaller than the correct product by 4  3  1 time.
2156  2107  49 , which means the multiplicand is 49. Therefore, the correct multiplier is

17) Refer to the table below and first consider this question from the perspective that all three of them are
trying to finish the questions evenly:
Amy 10 11 12 … 12 13 14 15 … 13 14 15 16 17 18 …
Bella 10 10 10 … 11 11 11 11 … 12 12 12 12 12 12 …
Chris 10 8 6 … 9 7 5 3 … 10 8 6 4 2 0 …
Total 30 29 28 … 32 31 30 29 … 35 34 33 32 31 30 …

18) From the figure, the length of the small rectangle is 3 times the width. We get:
The length of the large rectangle is 8 times the width of the small rectangle which is 3  1  1  3 ;
The width of the large rectangle is 6 times the width of the small rectangle which is 1  1  3  1 .
Therefore, the perimeter of the large rectangle is 28 times the width of the small rectangle which is
 8  6  2 .
From which we can calculate the width of the small rectangle is 196  28  7 , and the length is 7  3  21 .
Therefore, the perimeter of the small triangle is  21  7   2  56 .

19) The remainder of the nine-digit number 987654A21 when it is divided by 15 is 11, meaning
987654A21  11  987654A10 is divisible by 15.
By using the divisibility rule, 15 is divisible by 3 and 5, since the units digit of 987654A10 is 0, it has to
be divisible by 5.
If 987654A10 is divisible by 3, the sum of the digits （ 9  8  7  6  5  4  A  1  0  A  40 ）has to be
divisible by 3.
Therefore, A could be 2, 5 or 8, while the sum of the possible value(s) of A is 2  5  8  15 .

20) There is only 1 way to merge 13 identical squares into a rectangle which means the length of the resulting
perimeter would decrease by 13  1  2  24 side lengths of the square.
Therefore, the side length of the square is 72  24  3 cm, and the perimeter  3  4  12 cm.

27) From the three views diagram we can see 16 grey squares which means we need at least 16 grey squares.
In fact, 16 grey squares satisfy what the question is asking for
Therefore, at most we can replace 64  16  48 transparent square. The diagram below is one of the
examples:

28) Every four numbers are followed by an empty box，which means box #5、10、15、20、25、… would all
be an empty box.
Considering the pattern in which the empty boxes appears is：
5th box from left to right 4th box from right to left 3rd box from left to right 2nd box from right to left
 1st box from left to right 6th box from left to right
5th box from right to left 4th box from right to left 3rd box from right to left 2nd box from right to
left 1st box from right to left 6th box from right to left
Which is the 5ththe 3rdthe 3rdthe 5ththe 1stthe 6ththe 2ndthe 4ththe 4ththe 2ndthe
6ththe 1st box
The pattern of the empty boxes is 12 boxes one cycle
2021  4  5051, 2021 appears behind the 505th box
505  12  421 , the 505th box and the 1st box appears in the same column, which is column 5.
Therefore, 2021 appears in column 6.

29) Since Aiden doesn’t need to give his candies to Beck, it means that Beck already had an average number
of the total candies from the beginning.
While Aiden needs to give 25 candies to Chris, this means Aiden has 25  2  50 candies more than
Chris, furthermore Aiden has 25 candies more than Beck, and Beck has 25 candies more than Chris.
When the teacher gave out the candies in the beginning, Aiden was already given more candies than Beck,
therefore, we know N must be less than 25.
Since the total amount of candies is divided by 3 people, 100  N must also be divisible by 3.
From which, we know the sum of the possible values of N is 2  5  8  11  14  17  20  23  100 .
