I did it by listing all the multiples of 6. The last digit of the number has to be 8 (or it doesn't work), so the last digit had to be 8.  From there, you check out what multiples into a sequence with ascending numbers.  Still kind of trial and error, but at least there was a "strategy".  ^_^;

The one where you had to find the radius of the circle with those tangents, did you guys get B?

I did it by similar triangles.

That was exactly my strategy!

It was quite hard! The fill in the numbers bit was hard. The reciprical question drove me insane, and so did the train station one.. And, that ascending number one. Was there an easy way to do it? I did it by trial and error, but finally got it, lol.

lol some guy at my school took 3 guesses and got it on his third try, 578 :P
