Assign the values 1 to 10 to the weights in the diagram so that everything balances as shown. Each number will be used exactly once.
Answer key: List the numbers in order from left to right.

Find a path from the start (S) to the goal (G), moving horizontally or vertically from square to square. The path cannot go through the numbered squares, and will never loop back to touch itself, even diagonally. (For example, this means that a 2 x 2 area can never be completely used by the path.) A number indicates how many squares of the path touch -- including diagonally -- that numbered square. The S and G cells are part of the path. Ignore the highlighting of the gray rows for the solving of the puzzle; they are used for the answer key.
Answer key: Enter the number of cells used by the path in each of the five highlighted rows, from top to bottom.

How much money can you have in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills and still not be able to make change for a $100 bill?
Answer Key 10.1: Enter the dollar amount.

Suppose that in an alternate universe the dollar bill is worth 60 cents, and there are coins in three different denominations, not necessarily cents, nickels, dimes, etc. You know that the most change you could have in that universe and still not be able to make change for a dollar is 2 dollars and 13 cents (i.e., 133 cents). What are the three denominations of coins?
Answer key 10.2: Enter the three values.

Place the twelve unique pentomino shapes (shown below) in the white 12 x 12 grid so that no two shapes touch each other, even diagonally. The shapes can be rotated and/or reflected. The numbers outside the white grid indicate the sequence and size of consecutive cells used by the shapes in the corresponding row or column. For example, the clue for the fourth row is 2,3. This means two consecutive cells are black, followed by three consecutive black cells, separated by at least one empty cell -- there may be empty cells before and/or after the groups of black cells.
Answer key: Enter two groups of letters. The first group contains the letters of the pieces that required reflection (relative to the bottom diagram), when placed into the grid. The second group contains the letters of the pieces that appear in the grid with the same orientation as shown in the bottom diagram.

16. Hex Aspiration (20 points) Find a looped path through the diagram subject to the following constraints. The path proceeds from one cell to an adjacent cell, passes through no cell more than once, does not go through any numbered cells, and never makes a sharp-angled turn (i.e., a turn at a 60° angle). Each number indicates how many of the adjacent cells are part of the path. Answer key: Indicate which of the cells in the gray diagonal are part of the path. Use a 1 to indicate that the path goes through a cell; use a 0 to indicate that the path does not go through a cell. List the 11 digits in order from SW to NE. Your entry will look something like "10011101000".

17. Battleships #1 (10 points) Locate the position of the 10-ship fleet (one battleship, two cruisers, three destroyers, and four submarines, as shown in the legend) in the grid. Each segment of a ship occupies a single cell. Ships do not touch each other, even diagonally. The numbers on the bottom and right edges of the grid reveal the total number of ship segments that appear in each respective row or column. Cells with water (indicated by tildes) do not contain ships. (For solving, ignore the letters and numbers on the top and left edges.) Answer key: Enter the location of the four submarines (i.e., the single-segment ships). Use the coordinates on the top and left edges to specify their places. For example, the given water locations are A4, F1, and H4.

Thirty-two of the 33 people's names listed below can be inserted in the grid, reading in regular crossword fashion (across and down). One name (RABIN) has been put in to get you started.
Answer key: Enter the extra name.

74,088 transparent plastic cubes are painstakingly cemented together, face to face, to create a solid rectangular box whose dimensions are 63 x 42 x 28. A laser is beamed from one corner of the box to the diagonally opposite corner. Through the interior of how many cubes does the beam pass?
Answer key: Enter the number of cubes.

This is a standard Cross Sums puzzle, except that three clues have been removed. A single digit (1 to 9) goes into each white square. A clue number represents the sum of the digits to be placed in the squares to the right of it (for an across answer) or beneath it (for a down answer). No digit is repeated within an answer. Determine the values of the missing clues (marked A, B, and C) in order to complete the grid.
Answer key: Enter the missing clues in the order A, B, C.

Draw a single continuous loop by connecting neighboring dots horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally). A numbered square indicates exactly how many of its four edges are used by the path.
Answer key: For each of the 11 dots in the middle row reading left to right, and for the 11 dots in the middle column reading top to bottom, indicate the direction that the path takes through that dot. Use "O" for no path, "L" for a 90� turn in any direction, and "I" for a straight path in either direction. Your entry will look something like "OIILOOLLIOO OOILLOOLIIO".

Place a standard six-faced die on the Start square with the 6 on top (the 1 will lie directly on the paper). For each move, roll the die once horizontally or vertically to an adjacent white square. (After the first move, the 6 will be on the face farthest from the Start square; the 1 will be closest.) Do not otherwise rotate the die between moves. There is one special restriction: The 1 can never be on top (including at the Goal). Find the shortest route from Start to Goal, or any path with under 50 moves.
Answer key: Enter the total number of moves followed by the directions traveled (N,E,S,W) in reaching your solution.
