Ten tough problems
This is a problem that tests your powers of observation and creativity: can you find hints in a long problem statement and work your way to the answer? It might help to “read in reverse,” so to speak—look through the text for words related to the answer being asked for.
Another key point is flexible thinking: form a clear mental image of the problem as a picture, then combine that image with the words you’ve found.
Since you might not reach the answer by reading only the text silently, it’s also a good idea to read it out loud when you get stuck.
