A technology store holds a contest to attract shoppers. Once an hour, someone at checkout is chosen at random to play in the contest. Here's how it works: An ace and four other cards are shuffled and placed face down on a table, The customer gets to turn over cards one at a time, looking for the ace. The person wins $100 of store credit if the ace is the first card, $50 if it is the second card, and $20, $10, or $5 if it is the third, fourth, or last card chosen. What is the average dollar amount of store credit given away in the contest?

Immediately they each ate 10, then they decided they should save the rest for later. That night, after the others had fallen asleep, Ahab crept to the treasure chest and opened it. He separated the pretzels into 3 equal piles. There was 1 extra pretzel, which he gave to a passing monkey.

He separated the pretzels into four equal piles (he wasn’t quite as greedy as Ahab). There were 2 extra pretzels, which he gave to a passing monkey. He then stole one of the four piles and put the rest back into the chest. Still later Hook went to the chest and separated the pretzels into five equal piles. There were 3 left over, which he gave…

Sonic’s Drive-In Burgers had a Classic Car Cruise one night. They played oldies music, the servers wore roller skates, and there were 152 classic cars on display. Josie, the restaurant owner, played a game with the car owners. First everyone was told to turn their headlights on. Then Josie counted every other car (the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and so on), and told them to turn their headlights off. After that Josie counted every 3rd car (3rd, 6th, 9th, and so on). Those car owners were told to turn their headlights on If they were off, and turn their headlights off if they were on. She continued in this way, counting by every number (by 4’s, then by 5’s, then by 6’s, etc.) until she had finished counting by 152’s (which didn’t take long, since that’s how many cars there were.) As she counted, every car she pointed to reversed their lights from off to on or vice versa. When she was done, which cars still had their lights on?
