Answers:

1. 10x10=100÷1/2=200+12=212.

2. 9(NINE)= [1-Father, 1-Mother, 6-Sons and 1-Sister].

3. If Mollie has twice as many Beanie Babies as Jenn and Allison has 3 times as many as Jenn, then the total of 72 must be divided by 6.{72÷6=12}. Therefore, Jenn has 12 Beanie Babies, Mollie has 24 Beanie Babies, and Allison has 36 Beanie Babies.

4. If Kevin is 6'6" tall, George must be 5'4" tall, and Richard must be 6' tall because he is 6" shorter than Kevin and 8" tall than George.

5. The first player only shakes hands with 8 other players, the second player only shakes hands with 7 other players ( he already shook hands with the first player!), the third player only shakes hands with 6 players ( he already shook hands with the first player and second player ), and so on, until the last player who only has one possibility left. Therefore: 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36.
