Several years ago I received as a gift a book of different animals. However, the picture of each animal's body had been cut into three pieces, and the pages of the book enabled me to make different combinations of animals. The name of the book was Por-gua-can because in the creature shown on the cover, the head was a porcupine's, the torso was an iguana's, and the feet were a pelican's. Suppose there were 8 animals. How many different animal combinations would be possible?

I’ll bet you didn’t know this, but plain (and peanut) M&M's are now produced at two different factories in the US, and the factories do not use the same mixture of colors! If you look on the packaging for the manufacturing code, which is usually stamped inside a rectangle you can determine which plant made that particular bag of M&M candies. In the middle of the code will be the letters HKP or CLV. For example, the code might read 632GCLV20. CLV: The Cleveland plant uses the following proportion of colors for plain M&M's:Red=0.131, Orange=0.205, Yellow=0.135, Green=0.198, Blue=0.207, and Brown=0.124. HKP: The Hackettstown, NJ, plant uses the following proportion of colors for plain M&M's: Red=0.125, Orange=0.25, Yellow=0.125, Green=0.125, Blue=0.25, and Brown=0.125. Suppose I gave you a bag of M&M’s, but I didn’t let you see the original packaging so you can’t determine which plant made the M& M’s. Your job is to count the number of candies of each color in…

Three hungry pirates, Ahab, Bluebeard, and Hook, were stranded on a desert island. They came upon a treasure chest, which they immediately opened. To their joy, they found it to be full of pretzels! 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. Then he stole one of the 3 equal piles of pretzels, put the rest back into the chest, and went back to camp. A short time later Bluebeard sneaked over to the chest. 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…

The kindergartners and first and second graders were talking about their favorite field trips during the school year. One of the teachers, Ms. Brewer, turned the discussion into a math lesson, and the students conducted a survey. Each child wrote down on paper which trip was his or her favorite. (Note that many children named more than one field trip as their favorite.) The survey revealed that 55 wrote down the trip to the river, 48 indicated the trip to the police station, and 38 included the trip to the hardware store. The police station and the river were chosen on 32 papers, 26 papers included both the river and the hardware store, and 22 children wrote down the police station and the hardware store on their papers. Ms. Burke counted 17 papers that included all three and one that did not list any of the three trips. How many children were surveyed? How many children wrote down the river but not the police station? How many children did not list the hardware store?
