Problem
Ten tiles numbered 
through 
are turned face down. One tile is turned up at random, and a die is rolled. What is the probability that the product of the numbers on the tile and the die will be a square?
Solution
The numbers can at most multiply to be 
. The squares less than are 
and 
. The possible pairs are 
and 
. There are 
choices and possibilities giving a probability of 
.
