Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. November 1 Only one of these two statements is true. Decipher which to solve the puzzle. #1 - "I withdrew even amounts of cash on all odd numbered days". #2 - "I withdrew odd amounts of cash on all even numbered days". Also, on this day I withdrew double the amount that I withdrew on November 6. How much did I withdraw on November 1?

Answer: $60

STEP ONE
Regarding the statements, wait until a few answers are gathered before trying to satisfy this clue.

STEP TWO
If you write out the four choices to Q1, then write out the four choices to Q6, you will note that $110 must be removed from Q1 and $50 must be removed from Q6 since they do not have corresponding amounts which satisfy the clue provided.

Continue on to Q6.

2. November 2 For four consecutive days, I withdrew amounts at ten dollar intervals, although not necessarily in any order. November 2 may or may not be one of those four days. How much did I withdraw on November 2?

Answer: $35

STEP FIVE
This is where you will likely start deciphering amounts. Looking through the amounts of the ten days, the only possible consecutive days which could satisfy this clue are November 5-6-7-8.

We already narrowed down Q6 to two options; $25 and $30. If Q6 was $25, then Q5 would have to be either $15, $35, $45 or $55. Since those amounts are not offered in the multiple choice, we can safely select $30 for Q6, which means Q1 is $60 and Q9 is $150. Record these amounts. We will come back to the amount for Q2.

Continue on to Q3.

3. November 3 On this day, I withdrew the second highest amount of the entire ten days. How much did I withdraw on November 3?

Answer: $120

STEP SIX
We know from Q9 that the highest amount in the quiz is no greater than $150, so the answer to Q3 is either $100 or $120.

Continue on to Q4.

4. November 4 On November 3, I withdrew double the amount of November 1. On November 4, I withdrew an amount exactly in between the amounts of November 1 and November 3. How much did I withdraw on November 4?

Answer: $90

STEP SEVEN
We have determined that Q1 is $60 so that makes Q3 equal to $120. To determine Q4, add the amounts of Q1 and Q3 ($60+$120=$180) and divide by two. That result is $90.

Continue on to Q5.

5. November 5 On this day, I withdrew half of the amount of the amount withdrawn on November 8. How much did I withdraw on November 5?

Answer: $20

STEP EIGHT
Since this amount is half of the amount of Q8, look to see if any answers can be eliminated. Do you think nothing can be eliminated? Think again. Remember the choice of statements in Q1? Look at the choices for Q8 which is an even numbered day. All of the choices are even, which means statement #2 is false and therefore statement #1 is true. Since Q1 and Q3 have been solved and Q5 does not have odd numbered answers, eliminate $55 from Q7 and $125 from Q9. You may have already figured out that statement #2 was false after solving Q6.

Continue on to Q7.

6. November 6 On this day, I withdrew one fifth of the amount I withdrew on November 9. Also, this withdrawal left me with less than $350 in my account. How much did I withdraw on November 6?

Answer: $30

STEP THREE
We know from Q1 that we must remove $50 from these choices.

With the three choices left, write out the four choices for Q9 and eliminate any amounts which do not satisfy the clue in Q6. You should eliminate $60 from Q6 and both $105 and $120 from Q9.

Continue on to Q9.

7. November 7 On this day, the withdrawal I made was exactly ten dollars away from the withdrawal I made on November 1. How much did I withdraw on November 7?

Answer: $50

STEP NINE
We learned in Q5 that $55 should be removed from the options because this answer has to be an even number. We already know that the withdrawal on November 1 was $60, so the amount for November 7 must be either $50 or $70.

We know that November 5-6-7-8 are part of the four-day pattern of withdrawals as explained in Q2. Since November 6 is $30, the range of the other three days must be between $20 and $60. Therefore, Q7 is $50 and Q8 is $40, but there are two choices for Q5.

The clue for Q5 states that the withdrawal on November 5 is half the amount of the withdrawal on November 8. Since November 8 is $40, November 5 has to be $20.

Continue on to Q8.

8. November 8 On this day, I withdrew five dollars more than the amount I withdrew on November 2. How much did I withdraw on November 8?

Answer: $40

STEP TEN
We figured out after Q7 that the withdrawal on November 8 was $40. If the withdrawal on November 2 was five dollars less than the withdrawal on November 8, then the withdrawal on November 2 must have been $35.

Continue on to Q10.

9. November 9 On this day, I withdrew the highest amount of the entire ten days. How much did I withdraw on November 9?

Answer: $150

STEP FOUR
As determined by solving clues 1 and 6, both $105 and $120 have been eliminated from this question.

If statement #1 is true, then the withdrawal for November 9 will be $150, but if it is false, the withdrawal will be $125.

Continue on to Q2.

10. November 10 The final withdrawal left me with the same amount of cash in my bank account as the amount I withdrew on November 2. I started out with $700. Figure out how much I have left to correctly answer the final question. How much did I withdraw on November 10?

Answer: $70

STEP ELEVEN
You will have had to solve the other nine questions and add up the total amount of withdrawals (which is $595) in order to complete this quiz. The clue in Q6 will help you know if you are on the right track. By adding the first six withdrawals and then subtracting that total from $700, you can check to see if the balance is under $350. Otherwise, subtract $595 from the original balance of $700 to get $105. We know that the final balance after the withdrawal on November 10 is equal to Q2, which is $35, so by subtracting $35 from $105, we get $70.

STEP TWELVE
IF you figured this out, drop me a line.
