COMPETITION CORNER

BOYS AND GIRLS NINE YEARS OF AGE AND OVER. This week I am giving you three problems which I think you should be able to work out. No. 1. —Mac. is a very stingy person. He saves up all his cigarette ends, and with them he makes further cigarettes and smokes them. He finds that it takes seven ends to make one cigarette. Yesterday he had just 49 ends. Now, how many cigarettes will he be able to make with them ? No. 2.—Put down eight eights ip any manner you like so that they will add up to 1000 exactly. No. 3. —Write down four nines so that they make 100 exactly. BOYS AND GIRLS EIGHT YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER. Your competition this time is something like last week’s one.
