Geography - CIA photo challenge

Test your skills of perception with two CIA aerial photo analysis challenges. Some people see a photograph as an image that captures a moment in time. To others, it can be carefully read to see what has happened in the past and what might occur in the future. This is an important skill to practise in Geography as you will experience photo analysis questions in all three GCSE exam papers and many geographers go on to work in industries which require analysis skills like this such as planners, cartographers, and surveyors. Put your perceptual skills to the test. Take the challenge now!

Maths - This week's riddles

But first, the answers from last week.

Question: What is 40 divided by ½ plus 15?. Answer: 95. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.

Question: The beach resort held a contest to guess the number of beach balls in the net bag pictured here. Pearl guessed 20, Alex guessed 21, James guessed 22, Richard guessed 17 and Adam guessed 16. One was off by 4, one was off by 3, one by 1, one by 2 and one was correct. How many beach balls were there? Answer: 20

Question: I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is five more than my units digit. My hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit. What number am I? Answer: 194

Question: A teacher of mathematics used an unconventional method to measure a 15-minute time limit for a test. He used just 7-minute and 11-minute hourglasses. Explain how the teacher measured 15 minutes using the hourglasses. Answer: When the test began, the teacher turned both the 7-minute and 11-minute hourglasses. After the 7-minute one spilt its last grain, he turned it upside down (the 11-minute one is still to spill sand for another 4 minutes). When the 11-minute hourglass was spilt, he turned the 7-minute one upside down for the last time.

New riddles for this week...

• I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is five more than my ones digit. My hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit. What number am I?
• What is the number which is 5 more than one fifth of one tenth of one quarter of 1000?
• At a fruit stand, an orange costs 18p, a pineapple costs 27p, and a grape costs 15p. Using the same logic, can you tell how much a mango costs?
• A recycling factory makes its own paper cups for canteen use. It can make one new cup from nine used ones. If it has 515 used cups how many can it possibly make in total?

Answers next week. Good luck in your riddle-solving
