00:00Let's get our brains warmed up with 3 quick math questions.

00:04So, tell me, what's the answer to this equation?

00:13The result is 20.

00:16How about this one?

00:21Negative 8. Well done!

00:24I can guarantee you that the equation below is correct.

00:28But how?

00:30Well, it's just upside down.

00:36If you flip it, it becomes 16 equals 8 plus 8.

00:40And that's totally correct.

00:43Well, the warm-up is done.

00:44Now let's get to the real challenges.

00:47Ella shot 12 arrows at a target.

00:50She hit the center 3 times.

00:52She's pretty good.

00:53One time she almost missed.

00:54But it still counted as a hit.

00:57All the other shots were misses.

00:58So, how many points did she score in total?

01:01Hitting the center gives her 3 points.

01:11She hit it 3 times, so that's 9 points.

01:14That one shot where she almost missed landed in the blue zone.

01:18That's one more point.

01:19So, in total, she scored 10 points.

01:22Next one, what should you add to 55,555 to get 500?

01:29Well, you should add a minus sign right here.

01:40Pay close attention to this image.

01:42Can you guess the number of the parking spots that these cars are in?

01:46Look at the first few numbers.

01:552, 3, 5.

01:57We're dealing with prime numbers here, right?

02:00If we keep the sequence going, it means that the red car is in spot 7,

02:05the green car is in 11, and the yellow car is parked in 17.

02:09Now, you're only allowed to use times and minus signs.

02:15Where would you put them to make this equation work?

02:18The answer is 9 times 8, minus 7, minus 65, and boom!

02:32You get 0.

02:35That's a similar one.

02:36But this time, you're only allowed to use division and addition signs.

02:41Where would you put them to make this equation work?

02:48And the solution is 4 plus 4 plus 8 divided by 4 equals 10.

02:57Ben knows that there are some squirrels hidden in his yard.

03:01Each squirrel gathers 6 acorns every day.

03:05There's a pile with more than 50 acorns in it.

03:08At least how many squirrels must be hidden in his yard?

03:18If each squirrel gathers 6 acorns, then 8 squirrels would gather 48.

03:23Hmm, that's not enough.

03:24But 9 squirrels would gather 54 acorns.

03:28So there must be at least 9 squirrels around him.

03:32Now, check out this equation.

03:34If watermelons are worth 0 and oranges are worth 1, what's the result?

03:38Hmm, if you swap the fruits for numbers, you get 1 plus 1 times 0 plus 1.

03:53And since multiplication comes first, that gives you a total of 2.

03:58A factory makes a $20 profit for each t-shirt it produces and sells.

04:05So how many t-shirts do they need to sell to make $5,000 in profit?

04:17Yep, they need to sell 250 t-shirts.

04:21Now, check out these numbers.

04:232, 3, 10, 12.

04:26Can you figure out the next one?

04:28Well, it's really not about calculations.

04:37It has to do with the first letter of each number.

04:40They all start with the letter t.

04:42So, following this sequence, the next number is 13.

04:47Alright, time to play true or false.

04:50First sentence.

04:51The fraction's 3 fourths is the same as 75%.

04:56Is it true or false?

04:58True.

05:07Nailed it!

05:09Next up.

05:10Any number raised to the power of 0 equals 0.

05:14What do you think?

05:15True or false?

05:15And that's false.

05:23Any number to the power of 0 is actually 1, not 0.

05:27One more.

05:28Ready?

05:2930% of 50 is the same as 50% of 30.

05:33Is this sentence true or false?

05:35They both equal 15, so yep, this sentence is true.

05:45There are two kittens, and some weights are sitting on a scale.

05:49The scale is perfectly balanced.

05:51So, how much does one kitten weigh?

06:02On the left side, we've got three weights.

06:054, 5, and 4.

06:07Add them up.

06:07That's 13 units.

06:09On the right side, there are two kittens and a weight of 5.

06:12If the total is 13, then the two kittens together must weigh 8.

06:17So, each kitten weighs 4 units.

06:21Are you fast at math?

06:23Then tell me, what is the last number that will appear at the end of this path?

06:27The last number is 6.

06:39Jennifer wants to snoop through her boyfriend's phone.

06:42He agreed, but only if she manages to guess the password.

06:46And the clue is MCMXCII.

06:49Can you help Jennifer figure out his 4-digit code?

06:52Well, we're talking Roman numerals here.

07:03And MCMXCII is the same as 1992.

07:08Phone unlocked.

07:10Can you tell which number doesn't belong here?

07:20The number 7 is the only odd one.

07:23And how about this table?

07:25What's the strange number?

07:3421 is the odd one out.

07:36It's not a multiple of 4.

07:393 bananas are on a table.

07:41A regular banana costs 2 coins.

07:44A Minecraft banana costs 1 coin more than the regular banana.

07:48A diamond banana costs twice as much as the Minecraft banana.

07:52So, which banana is the most expensive and how much does each one cost?

07:57The most expensive one is the diamond banana.

08:09If the regular one costs 2 coins, that means the Minecraft banana costs 3 coins and the diamond banana costs 6.

08:16Kevin was 31 when his daughter Amanda turned 8.

08:21Now, he is twice as old as she is.

08:24How old is Amanda?

08:25If her father is twice as old as her, Amanda must be 23.

08:37Dan is a translator and he gets paid based on the number of words in the original text.

08:44He makes $3 per word.

08:46So, how much will he get for the following translation?

08:49Remember, the number of words in Portuguese doesn't matter.

08:53Only the original English word count is used to calculate payment.

08:57If he earns 3 bucks per word, he's going to make $24.

09:10Now, if we multiply the number of tails that every cat in the world has, what is the result?

09:16Time's up!

09:25The answer is zero because at least one cat in the world doesn't have a tail.

09:30Lisa and David have $100 in total.

09:33And we know Lisa has $40 more than David.

09:37So, how much does each have?

09:46David has $30 and Lisa has $70.

09:51Take a good look at this puzzle.

09:53Can you figure out the value of the blue gift box?

10:04Well, let's see.

10:05If 3 green gifts cost 30 coins, that means each one is worth 10.

10:10So, the red box must be worth 20.

10:13Following that logic, the 2 blue gifts together cost $10.

10:17So, each one is worth 5.

10:21A swimming pool gets filled in 4 hours using 2 hoses.

10:25What if you only have 1 hose?

10:27How long will it take to fill the same pool?

10:35Think about it like this.

10:392 hoses together do the job in 4 hours.

10:42So, each hose is doing half the work, right?

10:45If you use just 1 hose, it's gonna take twice as long.

10:48So, the answer is 8 hours.

10:52Frank only has 3 socks.

10:541 red, 1 blue, and 1 green.

10:56He reaches into a dark drawer and grabs 2.

10:59What are the chances they match?

11:010.

11:09Frank has only 1 of each color, remember?

11:13A teacher has 3 kids.

11:15William, Karen, and Linda.

11:18William is 2 years old.

11:20Karen is 3 times William's age.

11:22And Linda is half of Karen's age.

11:25Can you guess how old the 2 girls are?

11:26Karen is 6, and Linda is 3.

11:37A snail climbs 3 feet during the day and slides down 2 feet at night.

11:43How many days will it take to escape a 10-foot wall?

11:54Hmm, let's see.

11:55Each day, the snail gains 1 foot.

11:58After 7 days, it's at 7 feet.

12:00On the 8th day, it climbs from 7 to 10 feet and escapes before sliding.

12:05So, the answer is 8 days.

12:08A motorcyclist was riding into the city.

12:11On the way, he passed 5 cars and a truck coming towards him.

12:15How many vehicles were going to the city?

12:17Only 1.

12:25The motorcyclist was the only one going to the city.

12:29You ordered a pizza for dinner for 8 people.

12:32How many times do you need to cut the pizza to get 8 slices?

12:36Well, let's see.

12:441, 2, 3, and 4.

12:47Now, we have 8 slices.

12:50Alright, dig in!

12:52That's it for today.
