Question 23
At the recent Cinfores Mixed National Hurdle trials, ten contestants competed for the coveted BB Shield. Determine who finished second based on these notes:
Ivor Bignose finished before May Eye and Mick Stup; Leigh Vamessage was victorious over May Eye and Laura DeLand; Jack Pott was beaten by Jerry Atric, Mick Stup and Al Beback; Laura DeLand was beaten by Mick Stup, May Eye and Ivor Bignose; Joe King beat Jerry Atric and Jack Pott but lost to Laura DeLand and Inga Hootz; Leigh Vamessage was beaten by Ivor Bignose and Inga Hootz; Inga Hootz was beaten by Al Beback, who lost to Ivor Bignose, but beat Jerry Atric and Jack Pott; May Eye finished ahead of Mick Stup and Jerry Atric, who lost to Leigh Vamessage and Inga Hootz.
Ivor Bignose finished before May Eye and Mick Stup; Leigh Vamessage was victorious over May Eye and Laura DeLand; Jack Pott was beaten by Jerry Atric, Mick Stup and Al Beback; Laura DeLand was beaten by Mick Stup, May Eye and Ivor Bignose; Joe King beat Jerry Atric and Jack Pott but lost to Laura DeLand and Inga Hootz; Leigh Vamessage was beaten by Ivor Bignose and Inga Hootz; Inga Hootz was beaten by Al Beback, who lost to Ivor Bignose, but beat Jerry Atric and Jack Pott; May Eye finished ahead of Mick Stup and Jerry Atric, who lost to Leigh Vamessage and Inga Hootz.
From the comparisons: Ivor Bignose beat Al Beback; Al Beback beat Inga Hootz; Inga Hootz beat Leigh Vamessage; Leigh Vamessage beat May Eye; May Eye beat Mick Stup; Mick Stup beat Laura DeLand; Laura DeLand beat Joe King; Joe King beat Jerry Atric; Jerry Atric beat Jack Pott. Thus ranking: Ivor Bignose (1st), Al Beback (2nd), Inga Hootz (3rd)... So second place is Al Beback.

Question 25
A zoo keeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and found it to be 80. When he counted the legs of the animals he found it to be 260. If the zoo had either pigeons or horses, how many horses were there in the zoo?
Let horses = h and pigeons = p. From heads: \(h + p = 80\). From legs: \(4h + 2p = 260\). Substitute \(p = 80 - h\): \(4h + 2(80 - h) = 260\) ⇒ \(2h = 100\) ⇒ \(h = 50\).

Question 26
In a group of 15, 7 have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, and 3 have not studied either. How many of these studied both Latin and Greek?
Students studying at least one = \(15 - 3 = 12\). Using \(n(L ∪ G) = n(L) + n(G) - n(L ∩ G)\): \(12 = 7 + 8 - x\) ⇒ \(x = 3\).

Question 28
DNA is the acronym for
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix. It carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. The name refers to the sugar component of the molecule (deoxyribose) and the fact that it is found in the nucleus (nucleic) and has acidic properties.

Question 29
Joseph N. Niepce discovered photography:
Nicéphore Niépce is widely credited as the inventor of photography and a pioneer in that field. He produced the world's oldest surviving photograph, 'View from the Window at Le Gras,' in 1826 or 1827. He used a process he called heliography, which involved exposing a bitumen-coated pewter plate to sunlight. While others like Louis Daguerre later refined the process, Niépce's initial success marks the true birth of permanent photographic imaging.

Question 30
(1) Multiply 50 by 50 one thousand times. (2) Multiply 100 by 100 five hundred times. How many times would you have to multiply the result of (2) to get (1)?
Let us express both operations in exponential form:
(1) Multiplying 50 by 50 one thousand times results in (50^1000).
(2) Multiplying 100 by 100 five hundred times results in (100^500).
We want to find a factor F such that:
100^500 × F = 50^1000
Note that 50^1000 = (50^2)^500 = 2500^500.
Substituting this back into the equation:
100^500 × F = 2500^500
F = (2500^500) / (100^500) = (2500/100)^500 = 25^500.
This corresponds to multiplying 25 by 25 five hundred times.
(1) Multiplying 50 by 50 one thousand times results in (50^1000).
(2) Multiplying 100 by 100 five hundred times results in (100^500).
We want to find a factor F such that:
100^500 × F = 50^1000
Note that 50^1000 = (50^2)^500 = 2500^500.
Substituting this back into the equation:
100^500 × F = 2500^500
F = (2500^500) / (100^500) = (2500/100)^500 = 25^500.
This corresponds to multiplying 25 by 25 five hundred times.
