Sum the numbers of the problems you have scored correctly, not including this one i.e. do not add '10' to this amount. This implies that item .10. is 10, .11. is 11 and so on. Adding a test item such as this one serves to reward those who are confident in what they've answered, and safeguards against silly guesses. It also makes the norms on the test higher (than a test omitting this sort of protection) as candidates will withhold answers unless they are absolutely certain, sometimes to their great peril...

.11.

.12.

Suppose you're rolling several dice. You wonder aloud 'What are the chances that I roll a '1' if I roll x dice?'. A friend hears you and tweaks the question: 'How many dice must you roll so that the chances of not rolling a '1' are less than or equal to the chances of rolling a 1?'.

Answer both questions. One point is awarded if a correct answer is given for both.

NB: Line colour is irrelevant in the solution, as is orientation.

One can obtain the number of the beast when summing all the numbers of the problems in this test, 4 of which are squared i.e. multiplied by itself. There are a few of these 'quartets': list 8 of them, or write how many such quartets there are ...

NB: While it may seem self-obvious to some, the same number cannot be squared multiple times.
