Weekly Problem 13 - 2013

Stage: 2 and 3 Challenge Level:1

2002 started on a Tuesday.

In which years between now and 2015 will each date fall on the same day of the week as it fell that year?


Weekly Problem 12 - 2013

Stage: 3 Challenge Level:1
Let the number be x. Then x2=2x3, that is x2(12x)=0.
So x=0 or x=12.
However, x is positive, so the only solution is x=12.
