  2. Pens at 3 for $4

    An everyday prompt: “Pens at 3 for $4”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer Buy three 3-packs (9 pens) plus one single pen for 13.50.: right.

    **Working:**
    - 3-pack price per pen: $4 ÷ 3 ≈ $1.33 (best value)
    - Buy as many 3-packs as fit: 3 packs = 9 pens = $12, plus 1 single at $1.50 = **$13.50**
    - Check other combinations: 2 packs + 4 singles = $8 + $6 = $14; 1 pack + 7 singles = $14.50; 10 singles = $15
    - The $13.50 option is cheapest.
    
    Final answer: Buy three 3-packs (9 pens) plus one single pen for $13.50.

  3. Compound interest over three years

    An everyday prompt: “Compound interest over three years”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 315.25: right.

    **Working:**
    
    - Year 1: $2,000 × 1.05 = $2,100.00
    - Year 2: $2,100.00 × 1.05 = $2,205.00
    - Year 3: $2,205.00 × 1.05 = $2,315.25
    
    Interest earned = $2,315.25 − $2,000.00 = **$315.25**
    
    Final answer: $315.25

  4. Four-digit numbers whose digits sum to 9

    A hard prompt: “Four-digit numbers whose digits sum to 9”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 165: right.

    Let the digits be $a,b,c,d$ with $a \ge 1$ (four-digit) and $b,c,d \ge 0$, and $a+b+c+d=9$.
    
    Set $a' = a-1 \ge 0$. Then $a'+b+c+d = 8$.
    
    Number of nonnegative solutions to a sum of 8 across 4 variables:
    
    $$\binom{8+4-1}{4-1} = \binom{11}{3} = 165$$
    
    Final answer: 165

  5. The highest of three dice is a 5

    A hard prompt: “The highest of three dice is a 5”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 61/216: right.

    Total outcomes: 6³ = 216.
    
    Max exactly 5 means all dice show ≤ 5, but not all show ≤ 4:
    
    - All ≤ 5: 5³ = 125
    - All ≤ 4: 4³ = 64
    
    So favorable outcomes: 125 − 64 = 61.
    
    Probability = 61/216 (already in lowest terms, since 61 is prime and doesn't divide 216).
    
    Final answer: 61/216
