Hints

Highlight this for hints:
Hint 1.
a. First, look at question 10, check to see which options are possible and what that tells you.
b. Can you find questions 11 and 12 with question 10?

Hint 2.
a. Using question 11, can you find information on some of the even problems?
b. Analyze question 6. Figure out which answers it can't be.
c. Can you find the answer to question 6 with the answer to question 11 and info about question 4?

Hint 3.
a. Next, find the answer to question 4.
b. Look at all of the questions you have solved.
c. Specifically, look at questions 6, 8, and 12.

Hint 4.
a. You can now solve question 5 as you can eliminate 3 of the choices.
b. Question 5 can be solved with only questions 4 and 6, though question 12 may also be of assistance.

Hint 5.
a. You will not solve any questions with this hint, but you will arrive at a key observation for Hints 6 and 7. That being said, what can you deduce about questions 1 and 3?
b. Check your answers for questions 5, 6, and 7 to find a relationship.
c. Two of the three questions must be equal because of question 6. Are questions 1 and 2 equal? Are questions 2 and 3 equal?

Hint 6.
a. The next step is to solve question 10, which will not be easy.
b. Using question 8's answer, what can you conclude about the answers for questions 1 to 10?
Forenote for c. The only unanswered questions from 1 to 10 should be 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10. If this is not the case, you may want to check hints 1 to 4. Also, part b was getting at how question 8 should indicate that exactly one of the answers from questions 1 to 10 should be A.
c. Can question 1 or 3 be A, but not the other? If you can't solve this, you may want to check back to Hint 5. Can question 9 be A? Can question 2 be A? The last question is the hardest and is covered more directly below.
d. If question 2 is A, what does that indicate about question 3? From that, what does that mean for question 1 (remember Hint 5)? Is that answer for question 1 possible? e. Assuming you were successful in the previous steps, remember we started with the observation that one of 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 is A. If you have disproven that questions 1, 2, 3, and 9 can be A, then what is the answer to question 10?

Hint 7.
a. You can now solve the first 3 questions.
b. Use the answers to questions 5 and 10 to solve question 1.
c. Check your observations for Hint 5 to solve for the other two.

Hint 8.
a. There is now a way to solve question 15.
b. Use your answers for questions 1 and the even questions solved.

Hint 9.
a. Using your solution to question 15 found above, can you find question 14?
b. You should have answers for all other even questions. If you don't, you may want to check the hints 1 through 8.

Hint 10.
a. Only two questions should remain unanswered: questions 9 and 13. Can you solve question 13 with question 8?
b. Pay attention to which questions currently have answers A and see how you can reach the ratio that question 8 needs.

Hint 11.
a. Only two questions should remain unanswered: questions 9 and 13. Can you solve question 13 with question 8?
b. Pay attention to which questions currently have answers A and see how you can reach the ratio that question 8 needs.

Hint 12.
a. The only question that should be unanswered is question 9. Can you use question 14 to find question 9?
b. Count how many Bs and Cs you currently have. There should only be one answer for question 9 that reaches the balance needed in question 14.
