The tangram puzzle is made as shown in the diagram. Start with a 4 by 4 grid as shown in figure (a) and cut along the dotted lines as shown in (b). This will result with seven pieces as in (c). Both figures (d) and (e) are constructed from some of these pieces. What is the ratio between the area of the figure in (d) and the area of the figure in (e)?

Lily constructs a figure, in the shape of a butterfly, as shown in the diagram. She uses two squares of side length 6 cm and four semicircles with diameter 6 cm. If we take π to be 3.14, what is the area of the figure?
A box contains ten black balls and ten white balls and there are no balls outside the box. In each step Mickey is allowed to do one of the two things. (a) He may take a white ball and a black ball from the box and place them outside. (b) If there is at least one black ball outside the box, he may take a white ball from the box and place it outside, and return a black ball from outside into the box. After six steps Mickey counts the number of balls outside the box. How many possible answers are there?
Bucket A is one-sixth full of water while bucket B contains 60 litres of water. If we empty the water in bucket B into bucket A then bucket A is half full of water. If instead we empty the water in bucket A into bucket B then bucket B is full. What is the capacity, in litres, of bucket B?
The diagram shows an addition table on three numbers X, Y and Z. A number in the table is the sum of the two numbers, one in the same row and the other in the same column, which are represented by letters. For instance, X+Y=16. What is the product of the numbers X, Y and Z?
Mickey is asked to multiply three positive integers, but he adds them instead. Amazingly, his correct answer is equal to the correct answer for the multiplication problem. What is the sum of these three numbers?
There are 54 grid points on the 5 by 8 grid, shown in the diagram, where the side of each small square is 1 cm. Starting from point P, an ant crawls from grid point to grid point along the grid lines, visiting each grid point exactly once before returning to P. What is the maximum length of its path, in cm?
When asked to find $\frac45+\frac56+\frac79+\frac9{11}$, each of four children makes a mistake. Peter interchanges the numerator and denominator in $\frac45$, Quentin does that to $\frac56$, Rachel does that to $\frac79$ and Sarah does that to $\frac9{11}$. Whose answer is closest to the correct answer?
