2. 673 is the next randomly chosen number, and it is something called a "left-truncatable prime". What does this mean?
3. Which number has the prime factorisation 2*2*3*29?
4. 486 is a Harshad number. That means it is divisible by what?
5. 455 is a tetrahedral number, because it can be written in the form n*(n+1)*(n+2)/6. What number is n?
6. 588 is another Harshad number; additionally, its prime factorisation consists entirely of one-digit numbers. Which of these one-digit primes is NOT one of the prime factors of 588?
7. The first and last digits of the next random number produced are square numbers, as is the sum of all of its digits. What is it?

10. The final number selected was 772, the smallest number which can be written as the sum of 3 triangular numbers... in 20 different ways. Which of these is NOT one of those ways (i.e. which of these sums is not equal to 772)?
