I think Carol Hooper and her problem creators made a mistake on that one. 
I agree 20 coins that are nickles and/or dimes is always more than 60 cents.
Do you think they meant this as a trick question?  Naw, proably a typo  
somewhere.

                    GUIDE TO MATHMAGIC
WELCOME TO MATHMAGIC!
WHAT IS MATHMAGIC?
MathMagic allows students from around the world with
students from other schools to solve math problems with each
other using computers and modems to communicate.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE?
Participation is open to any student in grades K-12, either
on an individual or team basis.  Teams, if desired, may be
formed by teachers incorporating MathMagic in their class-
rooms.  Communication may occur between individual and teams
but solutions will be evaluated in separate categories.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS WILL BE GIVEN?
Problems chosen as MathMagic problems will be based on the
following criteria:
    1.  They capture student interest and imagination.
    2.  The solution is not immediately obvious.
    3.  The problem can be solved using more than one
        strategy.
    4.  The problem is within the computational skill level
        of the student(s).
    5.  The solution time is reasonable.
    6.  There may be more than one solution.
    7.  The solution is defined well enough so that students
        know when a solution has been reached.
NOTE:  Problems may be submitted for consideration by any
and all interested parties by simply addressing them to:
Carol Hooper, (Compuserve 76550,221).
HOW OFTEN WILL WE GET PROBLEMS TO SOLVE?
Problems will be issued during six-week periods called
"problem cycles".  The entire cycle covers the time from the
day you get the problem to the day the problem is due to be
turned in to MathMagic.  A time line will be posted.

Lorna...this is great...however, just a note...Question #3 is written 
correctly.  Please remember that we are trying to help kids interpret 
as well as solve problems.  Question #3 is asking this...if you know 
you have 60 cents at minimum and you have twenty coins....nickels and 
dimes....how much do you have?  Remember that a portion of your amount 
must! equal at least 60 cents.  So, adding the rest of your nickels 
and dimes (this is the problem), how much is there?  Of course this 
would depend on how you break down the nickels and dimes for the sixty 
cents and remaining number of coins.  This is one of those 
multi-answer problems.  However, another reasonable solution is there 
is no solution if your group interprets this differently.  In finding 
"no solution," these kids have solved a problem and a full explanation 
of why they see it that way would be wonderful topic for a 
conversation.

Sorry to all for the confusion over problem for 3/4th graders.  
However, there has been several responses which I hope will clear it 
up as well as a new posting with some rewording to help clarify.  
Please don't hesitate to ask for further clarification if necessary.  
I appreciate you all inputing and helping me keep on top of these 
concerns as they happen.  It is caring individuals who help make 
MathMagic better....Thank you very much and please continue to input 
whenever a concern becomes apparent.  Thanks, Carol

From: Clovis Lacerda, 4:808/1, American School of Reci, Boa Viagem PE
To:   Carol Hooper, 1:381/64
Subj: cycle 2 - grades 9-10
          Group;Roberto Astuto, Thomas Messier, Tamara Kano, Karen 
Araujo
PROBLEM GRADE LEVEL 9-10
1. In such problem instead of looking for a solution for each
   number, we found two formulas that work one with odds and the
   other with evens, except 2 and 4.
2. Trying to find solutions for each odd number, we noticed that
   there was an easy way to get the solution for any odd number.
   You simply have to add and subtract the numbers, so that
   groups of two numbers cancel each other, leaving the last
   number, the answer.
Ex;  3=3-3+3
     5=5-5+5-5+5
     x=x-x+x-x+x-x........... +x
       __________________
       even number of x's
3. For evens, we represented each number writing it as twice
   the number minus itself.
Ex;  8=16-8
   Now, we had to simplify 16 with 8's. Since 16 is 2 times 8, we
   then have;
     8=2x8-8
   The problem now is to write 2 in terms of 8's. Since 2 is 1+1,
   both 1's can be written as 8 divided by 8. Therefore:
     8=(8/8  +  8/8)8 - 8
   We see that we now have six 8's, leaving us two more 8's to
   include in the equation. Since our equation is already right,
   we just add and subtract the remaining 8's. Finally:
     8=(8/8  +  8/8)8 - 8  +8-8
   This method only works for even numbers greater or equal to 6.
   For an even number Y, the equation is:
     Y=(Y/Y  +  Y/Y)Y - Y    + Y - Y...........-Y
                            _____________________________
                            even number of remaining  Y's.
Obs: The only way we could get a solution for 2 and 4 was using a
     square root. Is there any problem in using square root
     operations considering the inplicit 2 as an index of the
root?
Ex: Square root of 2 times square root of 2 = 2.
    Square root of 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 4

HOW DO STUDENTS WORK ON A PROBLEM?
    1.  Simply log on the first day of the
        problem cycle.
    2.  Problems will be posted in a message addressed to
        "All."  Subject line will indicate cycle number
        and corresponding dates.  For example: " Subject:
        Cycle 1 - Sept 8-18" means problems are for Cycle 1
        with a starting date of Sept. 8 and solution format
        due date of Sept. 18.
    3.  Look at the problem for your grade level.
    4.  Get out the thinking cap and begin to discuss
        strategies with students in your grade level from
        around the world.  Enter messages, share ideas, work
        towards a solution while discovering new friends
        from within your city, other states, and even other
        nations.  IMPORTANT:  Your first message must
        indicate your grade level and whether you are
        working as a team or individual.  All teams must
        list names of team members for proper credit as well
        as the sponsoring school, if applicable.  As this
        information is received by MathMagic management,
        updated postings will be made available, listing
        participants in team and individual categories by
        grade level to help you locate other students with
        whom you can discuss the current problem.
HOW DO WE SUBMIT OUR SOLUTIONS?
Solutions are turned in anytime before the last day of the
problem cycle and are written in a specific format.  This
format is:
    1.  State the problem, listing the knowns and unknowns
        and any assumptions which are made.
    2.  Explain the strategy, or strategies.  Suggested
        strategies are:
        a.  Work a simpler case and apply.
        b.  Look for a pattern to apply.
        c.  Make a wild guess and check your answer.
        d.  Make a table, chart, or diagram; use a model.
        e.  Label known parts and unknown parts with
            variables.
        f.  Write an equation relating the knowns and
            unknowns.
        g.  Work backwards.
        h.  Work for a subgoal.
        i.  Find a related problem or strategy you can
            apply.
        j.  If all else fails, act it out.

From Shannon Sanderson, Discovery School, 4th grade

I looked at the 3/4 problem and decided it couldn't be written correctly and
decided to go on to the 7/8 problem because it looked interesting.

I made a chart for each letter and then started to multiply.

A. MathMagic    35,880
B. Discovery    79,916,760
C. $10 word    ABE
D. $12 word    CAD
E. $20 word    JAB
F. $30 word    Boa
G. $40 word    tab
H. $50 word    bay
I. $60 word    Aced
J. $70 word    jag
K. $80 word    dead
L. $90 word    cob
M. $100 word    dee
N. cheapest word    A
O. Most expensive    xylophone    14,515,200,000
Whew, this was fun!
Thanks.
