### Consecutive Numbers

An investigation involving adding and subtracting sets of consecutive numbers. Lots to find out, lots to explore.

### 14 Divisors

What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?

### Summing Consecutive Numbers

Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?

# Takeaway Time

##### Stage: 2 and 3 Short Challenge Level:

$35$ teenagers were asked what takeaways they liked to eat.

$24$ answered Chinese
$16$ answered Indian
$10$ answered pizza

None of the teenagers liked all three. All who liked pizza also liked Chinese and $9$ of the Chinese fans didn't like either Indian or pizza.

If all the teenagers liked at least one, how many liked only Indian?
