 Zios and Zepts

 On the planet Vuv there are two sorts of creatures. The Zios have 3 legs and the Zepts have 7 legs.
The great planetary explorer Nico, who first discovered the planet, saw a crowd of Zios and Zepts. He managed to see that there was more than one of each kind of creature before they saw him. Suddenly they all rolled over onto their backs and put their legs in the air.
He counted 52 legs. How many Zios and how many Zepts were there?
Do you think there are any different answers?

Reach 100 Hundred

 Here is a grid of four "boxes":
Square divided into four.
You must choose four different digits from 1−9 and put one in each box. For example:
Square divide into four, with 5,2,1 & 9 in the sections.
This gives four two-digit numbers:
52(reading along the 1st row)
19(reading along the 2nd row)
51(reading down the left hand column)
29(reading down the right hand column)
In this case their sum is 151.

Try a few examples of your own.
Is there a quick way to tell if the total is going to be even or odd?


Your challenge is to find four different digits that give four two-digit numbers which add to a total of 100.
How many ways can you find of doing it?

Writing:

How Is It Made? Choose an everyday object (like LEGO bricks or toilet paper) and find out how it’s made. Write what you learned! Send a postcard or letter to a friend who would like to learn some interesting facts.
