    Unhappy HELP with CPAB questions

    Here are the only ones I can type out. I can't type out the diagrams or math problems obviously....they have these wierd word sequences:

    These are fun.

    fotgoshorio........jknqo
    bambumsamsumf.......uimpa
    monpqsrt............stubw
    efghiklm............nopqr
    aatwddqnggbe.........ghjik
    xyzuvwrst........nompl
    llmmllmnmllmnom........nopml
    bcadfgehjki.....pnmol
    bcdafghejkl.........mphiq
    ctcdndekefg.............defgh
    ffbnndppfyy...........gihfe
    aeimqu.......vyxzw
    adgxakptacny.........ajiul


    That's all I'm typing out. We'll see if your answers come out to the same as mine. Obviously the answers are onf of the letters after the dots.....

    I think you've got most of them right.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Oops, wrong thread to post HELP questions

    I couldn't get these...atleast I don't know if I'm right!

    Q: What is the missing number in the following series?
    12, 144, 16, ?, 20, 324

    A)256 B)216 C)238 D)234

    Logically it looks to be A) 256, but then that doesn't fit with the 324??

    Q: Which number in the following series is incorrect?
    5, 13, 35, 73, 158?
    I picked 73, although not sure why.....

    I think the answer is 234, as that is the sequence of 144, 234, 324 (and the next would presumably be 24, 414). I could be wrong, of course.

    I have no idea on the second one.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
    Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.

    You are completely right on the 234. Makes total sense now. Duh.

    158 is an even number unlike others, so I'd pick that.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
    Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).

    256 fits with 324.
    P(n) = (n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4)*(n-5)/(-120) * 12 + (n)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4)*(n-5)/24 * 144 + (n-1)*(n)*(n-3)*(n-4)*(n-5)/-12 * 16 + (n-1)*(n-2)*(n)*(n-4)*(n-5)/12 * 256+ (n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n)*(n-5)/(-24) * 20 + (n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4)*(n)/120 * 324.

    P(3) = 256.

    I really don't like questions like this.

    That's one hell of an expression to come up with in the few seconds you typically have to answer these kinds of questions
