Answer Key

Question 1
A. 2

2 is the only even prime number. Every other even number is divisible by 2, so they can't be prime.

Question 2
D. 3.14

Pi (π) equals approximately 3.14159... It represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

Question 3
D. 21

In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the two before it. So 8 + 13 = 21.

Question 4
A. 9

One billion is 1,000,000,000 — a 1 followed by 9 zeros.

Question 5
C. 12

12 × 12 = 144, so the square root of 144 is 12.

Question 6
B. 13

A baker's dozen is 13. Medieval bakers would add an extra loaf to avoid penalties for short-changing customers.

Question 7
A. D

D represents 500 in Roman numerals. C = 100, L = 50, and M = 1,000.

Question 8
B. 6

6 is a perfect number because its divisors (1, 2, and 3) add up to 6. The next perfect number is 28.

Question 9
D. Equilateral

An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal and all three angles equal (each 60°).

Question 10
C. 25%

The probability is 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4, or 25%. Each flip is independent with a 50% chance of heads.

Question 11
C. 180 degrees

The angles inside any triangle always add up to exactly 180 degrees, regardless of the triangle's shape.

Question 12
C. 6

A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices (corners). Each face is a perfect square.

Question 13
A. 30

15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30. A quick way: 10% is 20, and 5% is 10, so 15% = 30.

Question 14
D. 100

A googol is 10 to the power of 100 — a 1 followed by 100 zeros. It was named by a 9-year-old in 1920.

Question 15
B. 11

11 is the next prime after 7. A prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself. 8, 9, and 10 are not prime.

Question 16
A. 3,600

One hour = 60 minutes × 60 seconds = 3,600 seconds.

Question 17
C. Binary (base 2)

Computers use binary (base 2), with only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit is called a 'bit.'

Question 18
A. The 3-4-5 triangle

The Egyptians used ropes knotted in a 3-4-5 ratio to create perfect right angles, based on the Pythagorean theorem.

Question 19
A. Infinity

The symbol ∞ represents infinity. It was introduced by mathematician John Wallis in 1655.

Question 20
C. To the Moon

Each fold doubles the thickness. After 42 folds, the paper would be about 440,000 km thick — enough to reach the Moon!
