Contaminated Meats Problem Cattle sold: Take the ranch with the most head of cattle sold + the ranch with the fewest head of cattle sold, add them together and divide by two. Remember! Each 'cow head' = 2 cattle. Get your answer, then compare to see which ranch sold that number of cattle. That ranch plus your solution are your answers to input.

Full cases from one animal: 1 head of cattle = 10,000 sticks sausage. 10,000 divided by 5 sticks/pack = 2000 packs; 2000 packs divided by 24 = ? cases from one head of cattle. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

How many cases are still at the plant? Calculate the total number of cases that are at the stores and subtract your total from your previous answer.

Total number of packs sold: Add the number of packs sold by each store and input your answer.

Calculate the total number of sick people: Multiply the total number of packs sold by the number of sticks per pack. Remember to input your total number of sick people on the first page of Contaminated Meats.

BOGUS NEWS Ancient Tomb Unearthed: Remember, Area = length x width. The dimensions of the tomb are given, and the fact that the area of the burial chamber is one fourth that of the tomb. Find the area of the tomb and divide by four to determine the area of the burial chamber.

Atlantis Ruled by Evil High Priest: To find the number of victims of Thulimu's cruelty over his reign, first subtract the year of the end of his reign from the beginning. Then divide 'a thousand thousands' by the number of years of his reign. To determine 'a thousand thousands', multiply 1000 x 1000. (Remember to round your answer to the nearest whole number!)

Cursed Mask: We know that Lord Canarvan become ill 2 weeks from the date of his discovery, and the crew probably handled the mask at the time of packing. Count the number of days from the time of packing until the time the crew became ill.

New Fungus Discovered: Start by dividing 12,000 by 2 and then divided each successive answer by 2 until you are left with 1. Count the number of times you divided by 2 to determine the number of days until an infection breaks out.

BLUSMU CANDY BARS Count the number of rectangles in the candy bar carefully, then multiply your answer by the number of candy bars in the question.

THE ROACH HOTEL You have 9 roaches, in one minute you will have an additional 18 roaches (2 x 9 = 18), add those together to get 27 roaches. The next minute you will have 54 roaches (2 x 27 = 54), add those 54 to your 27 to get 81, and so on.

THE STRANGE FUNGUS OF DOCTOR ZAMORGA Minutes = exponents of 3, ie- 3 to the power of 0 = 1, 3 to the power of 1 = 3, 3 to the power of 2 = 9 and so on.

TUNE THE RADIO 20+3+3+3+3+3 = 35 35-8-8-8-8-8 = -5 -5x4=-20

BLUE RHINO X + (X+1) = Y

VIKINGS OF THE NEW WORLD LEIF: 1 + 1 = 2 rabbits, 2 + 1 = 3 apple trees, 3 + 2 = 5 deer, 5 + 3 = 8 grapvines. ERIC: Starting with 20,000, divide by 2, and keep dividing by 2 until there is nothing left. Count the number of divisions to determine your number of days. ARTIC MIRAGE: In the pyramid, the 2 numbers above a given number, when added together, equal that number.

OVERPOWER Associative/Media Mind: Use the Associative Property of Addition to solve. Distributive/Aliens: Solve the equation so that it is balanced. 12(20+30) = 240 +X= Y To obtain the correct installation sequence code, multiply each element in parentheses by c. Use small case letters. Commutative/Big Money: Refer to the Commutative Properties. Zero/Nothingness Is All: Refer to the Properties of Zero After you have obtained the Power Words, Properties and Missions, be sure to enter them into the database at the beginning of Overpower.
