Answer to Monday’s Angle Puzzle:
The correct answer is 100°.
A square number is a number made by multiplying a whole number by itself. For example: 3 × 3 = 9
We were told that the three angles in the triangle were square numbers, and we know that angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
Three square numbers that add up to 180 are:
4 × 4 = 16
8 × 8 = 64
10 × 10 = 100
Since: 16 + 64 + 100 = 180, the largest angle is 100°.

Answer to Wednesday’s Sequence Puzzle:
The correct answer is 891.
The original sequence was:
302, 202, 102, 002, 991, ?
If we reverse each number, we get:
203, 202, 201, 200, 199, ?
The pattern is now easier to spot: the numbers decrease by 1 each time. So the next number is 198. Written backwards, 198 becomes 891.
