26: The 3 comes first; write them out as English words and line them up alphabetically.
24: Expressed as "A to B" odds, 3 to 2; as a percentage, 40%.
29: 1/2. I used the Pascal triangle, but looking back, 1/2 can sort of be guessed intuitively: you've got to have more than half heads or more than half tails, and the odds of each are the same. |

#7 is 625 -- replace each digit with ten minus the digit.
Can we provide multiple answers to the questions? For example, the word sequence can also be solved by Move, More, Mare, Mark, Bark, and I suspect there are infinitely many answers to #1. |
