There are 100 building along a street. A sign is ordered to number the building from 1 to 100. how many "9's" will he need?

What must you do to make the following equation true? 81x9=801

If two ducks are swimming in front of another duck, two duck are swimmig behind another duck, and one duck is swimming between two other ducks, what is the minimum number of ducks?

and one last one for this beautiful sunday afternoon.

What has more value, one pound of $10 gold coind or half pound of $20 gold coins?

I will check back in a little while and post the answers in the comments section. Good luck.

20 number 9's, revise 81 to 89??, 5, one pound of $10 coin as the gold is worth much more than the coin value.  Am I suppose to comment my answers or keep them to myself?  Thanks for the entertainment...

Jason,

The first one is right and the last one to. Thanks for stopping by and giving them a try.

here are the answers for anyone that is interested.

20 #9s

Flip the page up side down so it reads 108=6x18

3 ducks

The pound $10 dollar coins has twice the amount of gold as half pound of $20 dollar coins. therefore, it is worth more.
