*'''Hint 3''': If you've followed the previous hint, you should start to see the answer to the puzzle. In order to move the yellow block that's directly beneath the ball, you're going to have to move that green block on the left. To do that, go ahead and move the bothersome blue block out of the way.

{{spoiler| Answer: This puzzle can be solved in 12 moves. First, move the blue block on the right up. Move the top purple block up and left in one move, then move the lower purple block up as far as it will go. This allows you to move the lower yellow block to the right.

Move the top purple block up and left in one move, then move the lower purple block up as far as it will go. This allows you to move the lower yellow block to the right. Now move the left blue block right and down as far as it will go in one move. The green block is now free to move down as far as it can. Next, move the upper yellow block left. Move the ball down as far as it will go. The top yellow block needs to slide back to the right. The following move raises the green block up as far as it will go. Move the left blue block all the way to the left and move the ball into the hole!}} | ||

"To the one who can work out the area of this triangular section of my estate, I bestow the entire inheritance." Now the man has passed away and his sons are at a loss! Finding the area of his perfectly square estate is easy, but no one can find the area of the triangle. Can you find the answer? | ||
*'''Hint 1''': Let's review the method for finding the area of a right-angled triangle. You simply multiply the lengths of the two sides that make the right angle, and divide by 2. You can use this method to solve the puzzle. | *'''Hint 1''': Let's review the method for finding the area of a right-angled triangle.

'''Description''': A father and son are having a conversation. The father turns to the son and says: "You know, Son, there was a time when your old man was twice the age of your mother. Of course, the next year, I was only one and a half times her age, but still, that's pretty amazing, eh? If the father is 44 years old, how old is the mother? | '''Description''': A father and son are having a conversation.

*'''Hint 1''': You just need to find the difference between the father's age and mother's age. At what ages are the two parents separated by two times the age of the mother? There's only one point where the father's age can change from twice the mother's age to 1.5 times the mother's age after one year. | *'''Hint 1''': You just need to find the difference between the father's age and mother's age.

A year, on the other hand, is a much larger period of time to deal with. In order for her statement to be true, her birthday needs to fall on a particular day. Think about how the above two facts help to narrow the possibilities. | ||

'''Description''': This board has 12 dots on it. Your task is to connect these dots to form as many squares as possible. You can use each dot multiple times, and you can orient the squares however you wish to fit them on the board. However, to be counted as a square, each corner must be on a dot. How many different squares can be drawn on the board? | '''Description''': This board has 12 dots on it. Your task is to connect these dots to form as many squares as possible.
