Question: Jess and her family play Jenga, a game made up of 54 stacked blocks in which each player removes one block in turns until the stack falls. The 5 players, including Jess, play 5 rounds in which each player removes one block. In the sixth round, Jess's father goes first. He removes a block, causing the tower to almost fall. Next, Jess tries to remove another block knocking down the tower. How many blocks did the tower have before Jess's turn?
Answer: In each round, the 5 players removed a total of 5 * 1 = 5 blocks. In the 5 rounds played, the players removed a total of 5 * 5 = 25 blocks. Adding the block removed by Jess's father in the sixth round, a total of 25 + 1 = 26 blocks were removed. Before the tower fell, there were 54 - 26 = 28 blocks. The answer is 28.

Question: Timothy decides he wants to start living off the land. He buys 30 acres of land for $20 an acre. He then builds himself a large house for $120,000. After that, he gets himself 20 cows for $1000 per cow and 100 chickens for $5 per chicken. The last thing is solar panels which take 6 hours to install with an installation cost of $100 an hour and then a flat fee of $6000 for the equipment. How much did everything cost?
Answer: The land cost 30 * 20 = $600. The cows cost 20 * 1000 = $20,000. The chickens added another 100 * 5 = $500. The installation of the solar panels cost 6 * 100 = $600. So the total cost of everything was 600 + 120000 + 20000 + 500 + 600 + 6000 = $147,700. The answer is 147700.

Question: Jacob has been tasked with a project to write up an urban plan proposal that will be used to construct a new city. He uses Pittsburg city as a reference which has 2000 stores, 500 hospitals, 200 schools, and 20 police stations. If the new city should have half the number of stores, twice as many hospitals, 50 fewer schools, and 5 more police stations, what is the total number of buildings required for this project?
Answer: The number of stores required for the new city is 2000 / 2 = 1000 stores. The number of hospitals required for the new city is 2 * 500 = 1000 hospitals. The number of schools required for the new city is 200 - 50 = 150 schools. The number of police stations required for the new city is 20 + 5 = 25 police stations. The total number of buildings required for this new city project 1000 + 1000 + 150 + 25 = 2175 buildings. The answer is 2175.

Question: Hugo can fold a small box in 3 seconds and a medium one in twice that time. Tom can fold both the small and medium boxes in 4 seconds. If Hugo and Tom want to leave as early as possible, how long (in seconds) will it take them to fold 2400 small boxes and 1800 medium boxes?
Answer:
If it takes Hugo twice the amount of time to fold a medium box than a small box, then he needs 2 * 3 = 6 seconds for the medium box. If Tom can fold either the small or medium box in 4 seconds, then he's faster at folding the medium box than Hugo because 4s < 6s. If Hugo can fold the small box in 3 seconds, then he's faster at folding the small boxes than Tom because 3s < 4s. Therefore Hugo should fold all small boxes and Tom should fold all the medium ones before doing the other size where they are slower. If there are 2400 small boxes and Hugo can fold 1 box in 3 seconds, then it would take him 2400 * 3 = 7200 seconds to fold all boxes. If there are 1800 medium boxes and Tom can fold 1 box in 4 seconds, then it would take him 1800 * 4 = 7200 seconds to fold all medium boxes. Given that they need the same amount of time to fold all boxes, and are doing it simultaneously they will need 7200 seconds to fold all the boxes. The answer is 7200.
