May 6, 2008 POW Name __________________

Option 1: you are standing in line to see a movie. Five more people are ahead of you in line than are behind you. Four times as many people are in line as the number of people who are behind you. How many people are ahead of you in line?





Option 2: What is the mean (average) of the first 300 terms in the following sequence:

1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, …





Option 3: Using all the digits 0 through 9 once and only once, create multiples of 4 that will sum to the smallest number possible. Example: 1472 + 956 + 308 = 2736 (This sum is not the smallest number that is possible).
