1) At what velocity, given that gravity is a constant of 9.6 and air resistance is negligible, did the Aiel that fell off the skimming platform after 3.4 weeks of freefall?
2) Given that 'X' is the amount of Andoran's it takes to fill a Trolloc cookpot, if Narg doubles the base width of a cylindrical cookpot and increases the height by 15%, how many Andorans, in terms of X, does it now take to fill the larger cookpot?
3) Liandrin knows of twice as many black sisters as Galina. Galina knows of three more black sisters than Sheriam. If Sheriam discovers 50% more black sisters, and Liandrin forgets two of them, how many does Galina need to discover to know more than the other two?
4) Bayle Domon is travelling North East at 20 M/s, and a Seanchan ship 100 leagues Noth sets off on an intercept course at twice this rate. How long until they intercept, assuming the Seanchan take the shortest possible route?
5) If sniffs are worth one point, and braid-tugs worth two, how many points has Nynaeve amassed thus far in the series? (Answers to the nearest 100 acceptable)

Urr.. Nr.2 is 4,6x (5x) if I'm not entirely mistaken.. Been a few years since I did these things.. :) - Karja
[answer to #3]
This one is actually easy. Sheriam does not know any Black Ajah sisters (assuming the you mean know them as Black Ajah -- really you must be a bit clearer in your
questioning!).
Therefore if Sheriam knows none then Galina knows three and Liandrin knows six.
since .5 * 0 = 0 then Sheriam still knows no BA. And Liandrin forgetting two leaves her with four known BA. Since twice four is eight and Galina already knows of
three then she just needs to learn about two more and she has surpassed Linadrin and Sheriam's accumulative knowledge of the BA.
However if you are just talking about Sheriam knowing sisters who are BA (but Sheriam does not know this) then the formula is as follows
Sheriam's number of sisters = X
Galina's number = X+3
and Liandrin's number = 2(X+3)
So Galina's desired number would =((2(X+3)-2) + 1.5(X))+1
Since the information given does not fix any set number on Black sisters Sheriam knows (in this scenario; otherwise the above logic of Sheriam knowing none must
apply) this is the only conclusive answer to be arrived I think. Then again I have made an hobby out of being wrong.
