#34 Figure These Two Out (Hilda the Builder Puzzle)

In Hilda the Builder Puzzle there is twenty two blocks because when you add the blocks from the view from above there is eighteen and then when you align the other blocks there is four that you add because they are the ones that are sticking up and are extra so in total there is twenty two.

#35 Giraffe Puzzle, Squirrel Monkey Puzzle, and Card Puzzle

If the giraffe is 200 cm high plus half its height then it is 400 cm high. The other 200 cm is the other half of his height so in total it is 400 cm

It would take 3 squirrel monkeys to keep 4 howler monkeys upright on the tree because for every 2 howler monkeys the squirrel monkey weighs 1.5 so 2 more howler monkeys would add 1.5 more to the squirrel monkeys which would add up to 3.

I think that the jack of diamonds,jack of queens,and jack of clubs is the solution to the card puzzle. The cards are in order from left to right

#20 Perseverance

If someone offered me 50 dollars now or 100 hundred dollars in one year then I would chose the hundred dollars because then I would get money when I wasn't  expecting it. The long term goals that I have is to go to college and become an ultrasound technician. I would want to go a community college and then I would transfer to a University. After I  got my degree I would go and try to get a job at a hospital and work there. Another thing that I have always wanted to accomplish is going to travel around the world I have wanted to see different places and things and see how other people live. What I would try to do is after I got a steady job I would save up money so that i could end up traveling the world.

#25 More Lying and Buckets

Abe is the one who stole the candy bar he is the only one with three truth statements and two false. What Rex said was true, what Jack said was true, what Abe said was false, what Dan said was false, and what Earl said was true.

4 Gallon-Fill up the five gallon bucket and have the  three gallon empty. Pour three gallons from the five gallons into the three gallon bucket. Now you have two in the five gallon and three in the three gallon. Pour out the three until it is empty then transfer the two gallons in the five gallon bucket to the three gallon bucket. After that you fill up the five gallon bucket and there is one gallon space left in the   three you fill it up then you will have four gallons left in the five gallon bucket.

5 Gallon- Fill up the four gallon bucket and pour it into the seven gallon bucket. Then you will have four gallons in the seven gallon bucket. After that fill up the four gallon bucket again and fill up the remaining three gallons in the seven gallon bucket. Then you will have one gallon in the four gallon bucket. Pour out the seven gallon bucket and transfer the one gallon to the empty seven gallon bucket. Now the seven gallon bucket has one gallon. Lastly fill up the four gallon bucket and in total you will have five.

#31 My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is Freedom Writers. I really like this movie because it is based on a true story and talks about real life problems. The events in the movie didn't happen a long time ago and it happened in a city not to far away from here. It talks about the different stories of the kids in the classroom and the struggles that they have had to go through.

I think the acting in the movie is really good and the plot is good to. The movie is not something I can really relate to but I like the plot. I think that it is really incredible that despite all the hardships that the students had to go through they still got to graduate. They all put In hard work and dedication.

The experience that they had will last a lifetime. They will always remember all that their teacher did to help them make it through high school and have a better future. If it wasn't for her their lives would be really different. I think this is a very good movie and everyone should watch it.

# 33 How Many Handshakes?

1) If there is 10 people in the room then there will be 45 handshakes because the first person shakes hands with everyone and that gives you 9 handshakes then that person sits down and that person shakes hands with everyone so there would be eight handshakes. So everyone keeps repeating the process they shake hands with everyone still standing and every time they do the number of handshakes goes down one because after each person shakes everyone's hand they sit and they don't have to shake hands anymore.

2) The answer is 55 if there is 11 people in the class because if there is one person added to the group they have to shake hands with everyone once which would lead to ten handshakes and you add the 10 to the 45 that you had when there was 10 people and you get 55.

3)If there is 20 people in the class then there will be 190 handshakes because you just keep repeating the process and adding ten more people to the class gives you 190 different handshakes.
