Glass Overlay: Busy Cards
Which card completes the grid?
Keep only the lines that appear on both of the first two cards.
D
In each row, only lines on both cards stay. Row 3 gives card D.
What comes next? 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
Growing Gaps
Look at how far apart the numbers are.
42
The gaps grow by two each time: +4, +6, +8, +10, then +12. 30 + 12 = 42.
Move One Rod
Move exactly one rod. What is the true equation?
9 − 8 = 1
The top rod of the 7 turns the 3 into a 9.
How Many Routes: One Cone
Moving only right or up, how many different routes lead from start to the gem?
Give the cone corner 0, then add the counts from the left and below.
8
There are 20 routes in all, and 12 of them pass the cone: 20 − 12 = 8.
Mirror Odometer: 15951
How many more km until the next mirror number?
The middle digit is already 9, so it cannot go up. What has to change instead?
110 km
The next mirror number is 16061: 16061 − 15951 = 110.
