2 choices for each pawn and 2 choices for each knight.

you have 8 pawns, any of which can move one or two squares, so we have 16 so far. Each of 2 knights can make one of two moves, adding 4. (you didn't specify they had to be GOOD moves).

So the answer is 20.

Oh, jo said that already. I'll take the silver.

Amoeba is a bowl divide once per minute. If the bowl is half full in 49 minutes, how long will it take for the bowl to be full?

He is correct, Maddie. If it's half full and each amoeba divides every minute, it'll be full in 50 minutes.

Your kid is a genius! smile

This one is quite simple: Seven men arrive at a meeting, and each of them shakes hands once with each of the others. Can you tell me how many handshakes does that make?

Each of 7 men shakes hands with the 6 others. That makes 42 handshakes.

Correct the answer is in fact 21! Great job everyone.
