1. Some years ago I was introduced to someone I hadn't met before. The host showed me a photo of a young man. He said: 'He's the only son of the only brother of the only aunt of my father's only niece'. Who was that young man?
2. Three children, Peter, Jane and Eric, share a bag of peanuts. There were 770 peanuts in the bag. For every 4 peanuts Peter took, Jane took 3, and for every 6 peanuts Peter took, Eric took 7. How many peanuts did Peter get?
3. Yesterday I met an old friend that I hadn't seen for many years. He told me that he had 3 children, and when I asked how old they were, he said that the sum of their ages is 13, and if you multiply their ages, the result is the same as your own age. I knew my own age, of course, but I still could not tell how old his children were, so he had to give me another hint. He then told me that the oldest one was visiting his grandparents right now. How old was this child?
4. Write a 10-digit number. The first digit tells how many zeroes there are in the number. The second digit tells how many ones that are in the number. The third digit tells how many twos there are in the number, and so on. The last number tells how many nines there are in the number. What is this number?
