If the number that goes in is even, the machine halves it.
If the number that goes in is odd, the machine adds 5.
The number that comes out goes straight back into the machine.
The number 18 goes into the machine. What number comes out after the machine has worked 3 times?
AA.

BB.
9
CC.

答案: C
答案:C(7)
第一次:18是双数,减半得9。
第二次:9是单数,加5得14。
第三次:14是双数,减半得7。
为什么其他选项不对
A(12):12是7再加5得到的,那已经是第4次了。

Five lights in a row are numbered 1 to 5. At the start they are all off. Each button changes some of the lights: a light that is off turns on, and a light that is on turns off.
The red button changes lights 1, 2 and 3.
The blue button changes lights 2 and 4.
The green button changes lights 3, 4 and 5.
Tayla presses the red button, then the blue button, then the green button. Which lights are on at the end?
AA.
Lights 1 and 5
BB.
All five lights
CC.
Lights 1, 3 and 4
DD.
Lights 3, 4 and 5
答案: A
答案:A(Lights 1 and 5)
每按一次,就记下哪些灯亮着。
按红色:1、2、3号灯亮。亮着的是1、2、3。
按蓝色:2号灯灭,4号灯亮。亮着的是1、3、4。
按绿色:3号和4号灯灭,5号灯亮。亮着的是1和5。
为什么其他选项不对
B(All five lights):这是把每次按键都当成开灯,但已经亮着的灯会被关掉。
C(Lights 1, 3 and 4):这是按完蓝色按钮后的情况,还没按绿色按钮。
D(Lights 3, 4 and 5):这只是绿色按钮控制的灯,前面按的按钮也有影响。
