6.1. Answer. 149 and 284.

If the first digit is not less than 3, then the second is not less than 12, which is impossible. Means,

6.2. One example is shown in Figure 1. This example is not the only one.

Rice. 1

6.3. Answer. 160 apples.

When half of the apples are taken from the box, half of the apples remain in it.

the amount that was before. This means that before this there were twice as many apples.

Therefore, at the beginning there were 10x2x2x2x2 = 160 apples in the box.

6.4. Answer. From the Red and Blue box.

It follows from the condition that this box contains either two blue balls or two red ones. Taking out

one ball, we will know the contents of this box. If it contains two blue balls, then

the one on which it says “Two red” will have multi-colored balls, since it does not contain

two red (according to condition) and not two blue (they are in the first box). In box with

The inscription “Two blue” means two red balls. If we took out a red ball, then

similarly, in the “Two Blue” box there are multi-colored balls, and in the “Two Red” box

- blue balls.

6.5. Answer. Because the number of remaining candies must be odd.

The total number of candies brought is even. This can be explained this way: second

the girl brought an even number of sweets - this follows from the condition. And the first and

the third is the number of candies of the same parity (because triple an odd number is odd, and triple an even number is even). This means the total is an even number of candies. Otherwise - algebraically. The number of sweets brought is x 2 x 3 x 6 x 2 3 x – an even number. The girls ate 9 candies during recess - an odd number. Therefore, they must have an odd number of candies left, and they will not be able to divide it equally.

7.1. Answer. 2209.

2209 + (2 +2 + 0 + 9) = 2222.

7.2. Answer. For example, like this: give five people two large cakes and one

the middle one, and the sixth - two medium ones and all four small ones.

Let m – the weight of a small cake, then the average one weighs 2 m, and large - 3 m.

The total weight of all cakes is: 4 m 7 2 m 10 3 m 48 m , so one child

you should get cakes with a total weight of 8 m.

7.3. Answer. At 11:00.

If the distance covered by the train by 16:00 is S , then by 17:00 he had passed the distance 1, 2 S.

This means that in the last hour the train has passed 0.2S , that is, a path of length S he passes in 5

hours. The initial movement time is 16 – 5 = 11 (hours).

7.4. The answer is shown in Figure 2.

Rice. 2

7.5. Answer.

7.5. Answer. He was wrong.

The sum of two consecutive numbers is the sum of two numbers of different parities, and

therefore it is odd. This means that each of the classmates ate an odd number of candies.

Classmates are an odd number (27), and the sum of an odd number of odd

numbers is odd and cannot equal 210.

8th grade

8.1. Answer. 5 rub.

If x – the wholesale price of a pen, then when selling one for 10 rubles. the seller receives

profit 10 – x (rub.). Selling three pens for 20 rubles. he makes a profit of 20 – 3 x

(rub.). According to condition 10 – x = 20 – 3 x, from where x = 5 (rub.).

8.2. Let AL – bisector of an acute angle CAB right triangle ABC

(ACB 90) and, by convention, AL BL . Then if CAB 2, then LAB, and therefore ABL . Sum of acute angles of a triangle ABC is equal to 3, hence 30.

Then in a right triangle ACL the leg opposite the angle of 30 is equal to

half of the hypotenuse, from where

CL AL . The statement has been proven.

8.3. Answer. 1.

Let's transform this equality: a 2 b 2 (a b ) 0 or (a b )(a b 1) 0 . By

condition, these numbers are different. Therefore the first parenthesis is not zero. Means,

a b 1 0, whence a b 1.

8.4. Answer. At 19 m.

It follows from the condition that the student’s speed B A , a

student speed C is 0.9 of the student's speed B . It follows from this that

student speed C is 0.81 of the student's speed A. So, when A runs

100m, student C will run 81m.

8.5. Answer. Because the number of remaining candies was odd, that is, it could not

divide by 10.

At the beginning, the number of candies was even, since it was divisible by 10. The total number of candies eaten at the beginning is 1 + 2+ 3 + ... + 10 = 55 - an odd number.

Therefore, the number of remaining candies is odd, as the difference between even and odd

numbers.

9th grade

9.1. Answer. 2.

The side length of this square is the distance between the lines x y 0 and x y 2, so

as on each of the straight lines there are two vertices of the square. And this distance is equal

distance from the origin to the straight line x y 2 , intersecting the coordinate axes at a distance of 2 from the origin. This means that the required distance is the height in

an isosceles right triangle with legs of length 2, which is equal to 2.

9.2. Answer. 1200 people.

Let x – number of men, y – the number of women on this island. From the condition

it follows that

x y, in addition, x y 1900 . Solving this system, we get:

x 900, y 1000 . Hence the number of married men is equal to

900 600

And the general

the number of married people is 1200.

9.3. Answer. 2:1.

Angle bisector CAO is the height of the triangle CAO, therefore CA AO. But

O.A.O.C. – as radii, which means a triangle CAO – equilateral. Then

ACO 60. Moreover, in an isosceles triangle OCB (OC OB)

COB 120, so OCB 30 (otherwise you can get it by using

because ACB – based on the diameter, equal to 90).

9.4. Answer. 225.

If a three-digit number has 3 in the first place, then the other two digits are

arbitrary, different from 3. This means that any of the 9 others can take second place

digits, and on the third - any of the 9 other digits - a total of 9x9 = 81 options. If three

is in second place, then any number except 3 and 0 can be in first place, and on

the last - any, except three. In total we get 8x9 = 72 options. The same amount

we will get options if the three is in last place. Total: 81 + 72 +

72 = 225 options.

9.5. Answer. He can.

If Petya thinks of a number with two digits of different parities, then his mother needs to name,

for example, the number 20. Then the parity of each of the last two digits after each

the increase will continue, and these numbers will never coincide. If the numbers

Petya's numbers will be of the same parity, then mom just needs to name the number 50. After

every two additions, the last two digits will be repeated, i.e. they won't

coincide, and after the first (third, fifth, etc.) addition these numbers will be

have different parities, i.e. won't match either.


Sell ​​me this pen - this is the question that new candidates are asked when they go for an interview. This is a standard technique that is very effective. Within a minute, the second recruiting agent (or who is conducting the interviews?) will be able to understand whether the candidate is suitable. People's reactions to this question are as follows:

  1. The first category of people are lost and don’t understand what to do. They were caught off guard and have no idea what to say or how to sell the damn pen (sorry for the jargon).
  2. The second category of candidates use template expressions like: this is a very good pen that will never let you down. The ink is of high quality, and the pen itself is high quality and reliable! Buy it, and you definitely won’t regret it.
  3. The third category is creative and artistic individuals, who in the end will definitely get a job. Their answers to questions like “sell me a pen” are non-standard and original. They make even the most experienced recruiters who have heard a variety of versions admire them.

Simple example?

Understand the point: to sell a pen to a person, first of all you need to motivate him to buy, i.e. should make you want to buy it. Here's a simple example:

- sell me this pen (the recruitment agent will tell you and at the same time will definitely offer his pen - you will have to sell it);

(here you need to motivate him to buy)

- Fine. Would you give me your autograph? (you tell me)

- Yes, but I don’t have a pen (the interlocutor will answer. He gave it to you).

– then buy mine (you will answer and offer the item of trade).

Your interlocutor will have no choice but to buy a pen, because he promised to give you an autograph.

Here is a simple example - a video from the wonderful film “The Wolf of Wall Street” (I recommend watching it):

This is the method that is very effective at the moment, but in reality, sooner or later it will become hackneyed.

Another example of selling a pen at an interview

The big boss was hiring a young man. As expected, he asked to sell him a pen. This was a very cool pen (most likely a valuable gift), expensive and with a gold outline.

The candidate naturally agreed. He tried to praise it and offer it in different ways to his boss, but he refused, explaining his position by saying that he already had a pen.

“Okay, if you don’t want to buy, you don’t need to,” answered the young man;

“You gave up quickly,” the chief answered;

“Then it’s time for me to leave (gets up and leaves),” the candidate answers;

“Wait!” the boss shouts, “you have to give me my pen;

– yeah, I see that you’ve changed your mind. You're lucky, I'm already willing to sell the pen at half price;

– stop joking, I need my pen! Give her back now. Otherwise I'll call security;

- take it. But keep in mind: I was able to motivate you,” the young man answered, gave the pen and left.

The boss thought for a while and realized that this was the best candidate of all with whom he was able to interview. Later it was he who got the job.

Instead of conclusions

In order to sell a pen at an interview, you need to motivate your interlocutor to buy. The easiest way to do this is to ask for an autograph or do as the young man did. There is no point in praising her tritely - this is not what recruitment agents expect. Preference is given to people who were able to show creativity and ingenuity.

It is not your fault that the product was not purchased and its expiration date has expired.
It is your responsibility not to sell expired goods! This is why you may be subject to disciplinary action - your employer. And Rospotrebnadzor, if detected, will impose an administrative fine.

But nowhere does it stipulate your obligation to pay your employer the cost of expired goods. Neither in the job description, nor in the agreement on swearing. responsibility, nor in laws.
If you are forced to pay, this suggests that you are thereby forced to sell expired goods that threaten the life and health of the population!

You need to file a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor, the state. labor inspectorate. And submit an application to the employer - manager. The manager may give you a written answer or not answer at all; it is enough to include a signature in the copy of the application or an outgoing number confirming your appeal.
