Question 1

In a Beaver Race, two water slides merge into one main pool. Slide A released three beavers in this order: Red, Blue, then Green. Slide B released two beavers in this order: Yellow, then Orange. If the slides merge by taking a beaver from Slide A first, then one from Slide B, and repeating this pattern until one slide is empty, what will be the final order of beavers entering the pool?

Accepted Answer

Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green

Answer

Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Green

Answer

Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange

Question 2

Three colored cars (Blue, Red, Green) are racing down a double-lane water slide. Lane 1 has the Blue car followed by the Red car. Lane 2 has only the Green car. The lanes merge into a single tunnel. The rule is: the car further ahead in its lane enters first. If the Blue car is at the front of Lane 1, the Green car is at the front of Lane 2, and the Blue car is slightly ahead of the Green car, and the Red car is behind the Blue car, what is the sequence they enter the tunnel in?

Accepted Answer

Blue, Green, Red

Answer

Red, Blue, Green

Answer

Green, Blue, Red

Answer

Blue, Red, Green

Question 3

At the Bebe Beaver Water Park, two slides (Left and Right) merge into one big splash pool. Two beavers are on the Left slide in this order:

1^{st}

Purple,

2^{nd}

Pink. Three beavers are on the Right slide in this order:

1^{st}

Silver,

2^{nd}

Gold,

3^{rd}

White. To merge safely, the pool attendant lets two beavers from the Right slide go first, then one from the Left, and then the remaining beavers from the Right and Left in turns (Right, then Left). What is the final sequence of beavers in the pool?

Accepted Answer

Silver, Gold, Purple, White, Pink

Answer

Purple, Pink, Silver, Gold, White

Answer

Purple, Silver, Gold, Pink, White

Question 5

In a Beaver Water Slide race, there are two starting ramps: Ramp A and Ramp B. Ramp A has beavers labeled 1, 2, and 3. Ramp B has beavers labeled 4 and 5. The rule for the slide merge is: 'Take one from Ramp B, then two from Ramp A, then any remaining beavers from Ramp B, then any remaining beavers from Ramp A.' What is the final sequence of beavers going down the slide?

Question 6

In a Beaver Raft race, Lane A has boats 1, 2, and 3. Lane B has boats 4, 5, and 6. At the merge point, the rule is: 'Two boats from Lane A enter, then two boats from Lane B enter, and the process repeats until everyone has passed.' What is the order of boats as they enter the single lane?

Question 7

In a Beaver Water Slide race, Lane 1 has three beavers: Small, Medium, and Large (in that order). Lane 2 has two beavers: Fast and Slow (in that order). The lanes merge with a 'Zip Rule': the first beaver from Lane 1 goes, then the first from Lane 2, then the next from Lane 1, and so on. If the rule always starts with Lane 2, what is the final sequence?

Accepted Answer

Fast, Small, Slow, Medium, Large

Answer

Fast, Small, Medium, Slow, Large

Question 8

In a Beaver Water Slide race, there are two slides merging into a finish gate. Slide 1 has three beavers: Red, Green, and Blue. Slide 2 has three beavers: 1, 2, and 3. The merging rule is: 'Release the first beaver from Slide 1, then the first two beavers from Slide 2, then the remaining beavers from Slide 1, and finally the last beaver from Slide 2.' What is the final sequence of beavers?

Accepted Answer

Red, 1, 2, Green, Blue, 3

Answer

Red, 1, Green, 2, Blue, 3

Question 9

In a Beaver Log Race, two streams merge into one narrow river. Stream A has three logs in this order: Pink, Purple, and Orange. Stream B has three logs in this order: Brown, Grey, and Black. The water currents follow this specific simulation rule: 'Take two logs from Stream A first, then take all logs from Stream B, and finish with any remaining logs from Stream A.' What will be the final sequence of logs in the narrow river?

Accepted Answer

Pink, Purple, Brown, Grey, Black, Orange

Answer

Pink, Brown, Purple, Grey, Orange, Black

Question 10

In the Beaver Water Slide, Lane X has beavers A, B, and C (in that order). Lane Y has beavers 1, 2, and 3 (in that order).
