7. Mr Lim drives his car in the following way:

drive in a straight line 20 m and turned left;

drive in a straight line another 20 m and turned right;
drive in a straight line another 20 m and turned right again;
drive in a straight line another 20 m and turned right;

and he repeats the process above.

12. We wrote the first 300 natural numbers from left to right: 1, 2, 3, …, 299, 300.
We then removed all the numbers that are divisible by 5 or 7.
Of the numbers left, what is the 123rd number?

13. In a triangle ABC, 2016 interior points are placed, such that in the 2019 points
(including A, B, C), no three points lie on a straight line.
Divide triangle ABC into smaller triangles using these 2019 points as vertices of
the triangles.
What is the greatest number of triangles that we can get?

16. How many consecutive zeros are there in the product:

1 × 4 × 7 × 10 × … × 697 × 700 ?

17. In the figure below, the area of triangle ABC is 1 cm2. Extend BC, CA, AB to
points D, E, F such that BD = 2BC, CE = 3CA, AF = 4AB.
Find the area of triangle DEF, in cm2 .

18. Stacking 6 one-cent coins, it will have the same height as 5 two-cent coins.
Stacking 4 one-cent coins, it will have the same height as 3 five-cent coins.
Using one-cent, two-cent and five-cent coins, Sam places only coins of the
same value into three stacks of equal heights.
If he used a total of 124 coins, what is the total value of all these coins in cents?

21. Three soccer teams A, B and C played in a tournament where they played against each
other only once.
After all the matches, a sports reporter gathered the following information: Team A
scored a total of 6 goals and let in fewer than 5 goals;
Team B let in a total of 3 goals; Team C scored at least 7 goals.

22. A positive integer N can be divided by 18 numbers from the first 20 natural
numbers (1 to 20).
The two numbers that cannot divide N happened to be consecutive numbers.Find
the sum of these two numbers.

23. Mr Dan lives in town A and he wants to travel to town F which is 60 km away.
He plans to stop along the way at towns B, C, D and E, that are 4 km, 16 km, 33
km and 44 km away respectively, from town A.

Two types of buses travel from town A to F: the mini-bus and the large coaches.
The mini-bus has a stop at every 2 km and charges $3 for every 2 km travelled.The
large coach has a stop at every 3 km and charges $4 for every 3 km travelled.

If Mr Dan used the bus service, what is the least amount he needs to pay to
reach town F, visiting towns B, C, D and E along the way?
