Problem
The arrows on the two spinners shown below are spun. Let the number 
equal 
times the number on Spinner 
, added to the number on Spinner 
. What is the probability that is a perfect square number?

Solution
First, we realize that there are a total of 
possibilities. Now, we list all of them that can be spun. This includes 
and 
. Then, our answer is 
.
