While camping there was 3 + 6 + 5 = 14 mm of rain in 3 days. Greg experienced 26 – 14 = 12 mm less rain at the campsite.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: While Greg was camping with his family for a week, it rained for 3 days. When he looked at the weather records, he saw that the amount of rain was 3 mm, 6 mm, and 5 mm on the three days. During the same week, it rained 26 mm at his house.

Reasoning and answer: An hour has 60 minutes. If each call lasts an hour, the total amount of money charged is 60 * .05 = $3 for 1 customer. When she talks to 50 clients in a week, the total amount of money charged is 50 * 3 = $150. In a month of 4 weeks, the phone bill is 150 * 4 = $600.
The answer: 600

For 1 match won, Joe's team scored 1 * 3 = 3 points. For 3 tied games, Joe's team scored 3 * 1 = 3 points. In total, Joe's team scored 3 + 3 = 6 points. For 2 games won, the first - place team scored 2 * 3 = 6 points. For 2 tied games, the first - place team scored 2 * 1 = 2 points. In total, the first - place team scored 6 + 2 = 8 points. The first - place team outscored Joe's team by 8 - 6 = 2 points.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question: Joe plays a soccer tournament with his team. Matches won score 3 points for the winning team and tied matches score 1 point for both teams. Joe and his team won 1 game and drew 3. The first-place team has won 2 games and tied 2. By how many points did the first-place team beat Joe's team?


Reasoning and answer: Eighteen hours later, after departing from London, Chance arrived in New York at 6:00 + 18 hours = 00:00 on Tuesday. If he arrived in cape town at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, his flight took 10:00 - 00:00 = 10 hours.
The answer: 10
What was the question?
Question: Chance boarded a plane departing from London to New York at 6:00 a.m. ET on Monday. He arrived in New York 18 hours later. If he took another plane flying to Cape town the day he arrived in New York and arrived in Cape town at 10:00 a.m ET on Tuesday, calculate the number of hours his flight took from New York to cape town.


There are 32 tables with 2 fish in a bowl on each, so 32 tables x 2 fish = 64 fish. One table has an additional fish, so 64 fish + 1xtra fish = 65 fish.
