Re: I Q TEST
Being a nerd, I know that 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 30 + 31 +32 = 528 and that if there was another page, this would give you 561. So I must be misinterpreting the question.

Re: I Q TEST
I've clearly failed. I don't understand what is meant by "the pages in the book equate to 555 digits". I thought it might mean that the sum of each of the page numbers is 555.

pages 1 - 9 = 9 digits total
page 10 is 2 more digits
so 10 - 99 = 180 digits
so thats 189 digits total so far
all pages from there on in are 3 digits..

Re: I Q TEST
I am so glad people are finding this a little taxing, it was homework for our 10 year old and we had floods of tears because she couldn't do it.
I work in a Technology College so I took the question to work and the Maths teachers here were initially stumped, trying to find some formula to answer it with.

Yes Mark Mc it would seem you are correct, and you are the proud winner of the 10 year old homework prize
I find it incredable that this was set for a 10 year old and she had 5 minutes to complete it!!!
I think of another for you, maybe you could be her homework mentor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
