10Let us Play: Atya places a flower on 12. Skip jump with equal steps to reach the flower. What skip jumping number will you choose? Are there numbers that can be reached only through skip jumping by 1? Find 3 such numbers.Show solution
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
Choose skip jumping by 6 → reach 12 in just 2 jumps (0→6→12). This is the fewest jumps (other than jumping directly, which is not allowed).
Numbers reachable only by skip jumping by 1 are numbers that have no factors other than 1 and themselves — these are prime numbers.
Three such numbers: 7, 11, 13 (prime numbers — they cannot be reached by any skip jump other than 1).

LaLue Explorer — Number Cards in Envelopes
1There are ten number cards from 1–10 in five sealed envelopes (two cards each). The fifth envelope contains cards 5 and 9, with 5 × 9 = 45 written on it. Identify the number cards inside each of the other envelopes (products given on envelopes).Show solution
Note: The products on the other four envelopes are not visible in the OCR. However, using the remaining cards {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10}, we need to pair them into 4 pairs. One logical set of pairings (based on typical puzzle design):
- Envelope 1: Cards 1 and 6 →
- Envelope 2: Cards 2 and 10 →
- Envelope 3: Cards 3 and 8 →
- Envelope 4: Cards 4 and 7 →
- Envelope 5: Cards 5 and 9 → (given)
Note: The exact pairing depends on the products written on the envelopes in the figure, which is not visible in the OCR. Students should match the product on each envelope to the correct pair of cards from 1–10.
