A problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735-804).
The peasant needs to transport a wolf, a goat and a cabbage across the river. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave the wolf with the goat, the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave the goat with the cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?
Solution 1: Clearly you have to start with the goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other side, where he leaves it, but he takes the goat and carries it back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Followed then, returning, he transports a goat, and the crossing ends safely.
Solution 2: First, the peasant again transports the goat. But the second can take the cabbage, take it to the other side, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take it to the other side.

The ball ended up at the very bottom of the pipe (a few meters above the ground).
Can you please tell me how a golfer can get his ball out without much effort, without having to dig out such a long pipe?
Objective 2: Try to understand by what rule the following numerical sequence is formed:
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

Task 6: Alexander weighs half as much as Dmitry, and Nikolai weighs 3 times more than Alexander. Try to determine how much each of them weighs if all together they weigh 360 kilograms?
Task 7: Below is the sequence of letters. There is no rule for the order in which a given sequence is built. However, two letters are missing for completeness, name those two?
I S F A M O N D Z I
Answer to problem 1: The golfer needs to pour water into the pipe to the brim, then the ball will float to the surface by itself.
Answer to problem 2: Each next number describes the previous one. For example: the number in the second line "11" says that there is one unit in the previous line (1 (one) 1 (one)); the number in the third line "21" says that there are two ones or 2 (two) 1 (ones) in the previous line; the number on the fourth line "1211" says that the previous line has one two and one one or 1 (one) 2 (two) 1 (one) 1 (one). Etc.
Answer to problem 3: The letter a". The sequence of the first letters in the name of the months of the year, starting from September, is used here: September, October, November, December, January, February, March. Therefore, the next letter will be "A" - April.
Answer to problem 4: Alexander has four birds and three cages at the pet store.
Answer to problem 5: First, fill a 3-liter bottle with kvass from the keg, then pour all 3 liters from a 3-liter bottle into a 5-liter bottle. Then again from the keg we pour additional kvass into a 3-liter bottle. Then pour kvass from it into a five-liter bottle until it is filled. And as a result, exactly 1 liter of kvass will remain in a 3-liter bottle.
Answer to problem 6: Nikolay = 180kg, Dmitry = 120kg, Alexander = 60kg. Solution: let Alexander's weight = x (x), then Dmitry's weight = 2x, and Nikolai's weight = 3x. Therefore, we get the equation: (x + 2x + 3x) = 360kg. Equivalent: 6x = 360kg, whence x = (360kg: 6) = 60kg. After that, the weight of each of them is easily calculated.
Answer to problem 7: The letters "M" and "A". A group of letters consists of the first letters of the names of the months of the year. All of them are located chaotically, but for completeness two more letters are missing (there should be 12 of them).

Answer to problem 5: This man is a midget, and he can only reach the button of the 17th floor with an umbrella or asks someone to press this button.

Answer to problem 7: Let's solve the problem from its end. We subtract 10 extra fish - 90 fish remain. The number 90 contains three equal parts, of which two are the actual catch, and the third is an additional half of the actual catch. Therefore, this additional half of the catch is 90: 3 = 30 fish, and the catch itself is 30x2 = 60 fish.

But a more correct answer is different: at the end of the second day (on Tuesday at 6 am) the beetle will be at a height of 6 meters, and on the same day it can crawl 5 meters more, which exceeds the required level of 9 meters. It is not difficult to calculate that the beetle will reach 9 meters on Tuesday at 1312 hours.
Answer to problem 7: The "Fool" was not so stupid: he understood that as long as he chose the 50-cent coin, people would offer him money to choose from, and if he chose the five-dollar bill, the money offers would stop and he would not receive anything.
Math problems
Objective 1: In the 19th century, a teacher asked his students to calculate the sum of all integers from one to one hundred. Computers and calculators were not yet available, and the students began to conscientiously add numbers. And only one student found the correct answer in just a few seconds. It turned out to be Karl Friedrich Gauss - the future great mathematician. How did he do it?
Objective 2: There are nine coins on the table. One of them is fake. How can a counterfeit coin be found using two weighings? (Counterfeit coins are lighter than real ones.)
Objective 3: One fisherman bought himself a new 5 foot rod. He has to get home by public transport, in which the rules prohibit the transport of items longer than 4 feet. How should you pack your fishing rod in order to travel on public transport without breaking the rules?
Task 4: There are 9 kg of cereals and a pan scale with weights of 50 g and 200 g. Try weighing 2 kg of this cereal in three steps.
Task 5: In one city, a new district of 100 houses was built. The sign makers made and brought a pack of new signs with house numbering from 1 to 100. Count the number of all 9 numbers found in these plates (numbers 9 and 6 are different numbers).
Task 6: When the book was published, it took 2,775 digits to number its pages. How many pages are there in the book?
Task 7: In order to obtain an orange paint, it is necessary to mix yellow (6 parts) and red (2 parts) paints. How many grams of orange paint can be obtained (maximum) with 3 grams of yellow and 3 grams of red paint available?
Answer to problem 1: The future mathematician identified 49 pairs of numbers: 99 and 1, 98 and 2, 97 and 3 ... 51 and 49. In total, each pair of numbers was equal to one hundred, and there were two unpaired numbers 50 and 100. Therefore, 49x100 + 50 + 100 = 5050.
Answer to problem 2: First weighing: put three coins on each pan. If the balance is balanced, take two of the three remaining coins for the second weighing. If a counterfeit coin is on the scales, then it is clear on which scale it is. If the scales are balanced, then the remaining unweighted coin is a counterfeit one. If during the first weighing one of the cups outweighs the other, then the counterfeit coin is among the coins, the weight of which turns out to be less. Then, by the second weighing, we establish which of the coins is counterfeit.
Answer to problem 3: The rod must be packed in a box 4 feet long and 3 feet wide (diagonally across the box).
Answer to problem 4: It is necessary to weigh the cereal into two equal parts of 4.5 kg each; then weigh one of these parts in half again, that is, 2.25 kg each, and subtract from one of these parts using the two existing weights 250 g. Thus, you get a weight of 2 kg.
Answer to problem 5: The correct answer is 20 nines.
Answer to problem 6: The first 9 pages require 9 digits. Pages 10 to 99 (90 pages) require 90x2 = 180 digits. From page 100 to page 999 (900 pages), 900x3 = 2700 digits are required (300 digits for every hundred pages with three-digit numbering). Therefore, 999 pages require 2700 + 180 + 9 = 2889 digits. We went through (2889-2775) / 3 = 38 pages. Total: 999-38 = 961 pages were in the book.
Answer to problem 7: From the condition of the problem it can be seen that yellow paint is required 3 times more than red. Therefore, having 3 grams of yellow paint available, you need to take 1 gram of red paint. That is, when mixing orange paint, you get 4 grams.
