c) Replace the asterisks by the correct mathematical signs to make the expression equal to 99.

16 * 12 * 2 * 3 = 99

d) A certain number consists of two digits. The number is equal to five times the sum of its digits. If you add 9 to the number, the order of its digits is reversed. What is the number?

e) I have five letters and five addressed envelopes. If I place the letters in the envelopes at random, what are the chances that only four letters are in their correct envelopes?

f) Beth is 16 years younger than Jo. In 10 years time Jo will be twice as old as Beth. How old are they now?

The cryptogram posted before is hurting my brain. Seriosly hurting hehe
Woooooooooooooooooooooooah, my head is spinning!!

The answer to (e) is 0, if 4 of the letters are inthe correct envelope, then the last one must also be in the correct envelope. But the others are seriously hurting me!
