 ==Problem 20==
-A scientist walking through a forest recorded as integers the heights of <math>5</math> trees standing in a row. She observed that each tree was either twice as tall or half as tall as the one to its right. Unfortunately some of her data was lost when rain fell on her notebook. Her notes are shown below, with blanks indicating the missing numbers. Based on her observations, the scientist was able to reconstruct the lost data. What was the average height of the trees, in meters?

+The grid below is to be filled with integers in such a way that the sum of the numbers in each row and the sum of the numbers in each column are the same. Four numbers are missing. The number <math>x</math> in the lower left corner is larger than the other three missing numbers. What is the smallest possible value of <math>x</math>?

-A game board consists of <math>64</math> squares that alternate in color between black and white. The figure below shows square <math>P</math> in the bottom row and square <math>Q</math> in the top row. A marker is placed at <math>P.</math> A step consists of moving the marker onto one of the adjoining white squares in the row above.
