No! replied a 58 old pigeon. This is not a rice-field. It is a forest. Rice does not grow in a forest! How did those grains get there? I am afraid that there is some 59 here and we may come to 60.

father worked now sometimes as a waiter. Birthday and Christmas gifts were taken care of by him as well as he could, but such a thing as a mothers day gift was out-of-the-ordinary luxury. But we had been lucky, Nick and myself. A second hand furniture store had opened on the block, and deliveries were made by means of loading the furniture on a wobbly pushcart, which we carefully pushed through traffic, to the customers home. We got a nickel each and perhaps, a tip. I remember how Nicks thin, dark face lighted up with the joy of the present. He had first thought of it in school; and the thought of surprise and giving grew in him, and myself, and we were highly excited. When we secretly told our father, he was very pleased. He stroked our heads proudly. Its a fine idea, he said. It will make your mother very happy. From his tone, we knew what he was thinking. He had given our mother very little in their life together. She worked all day, cooking and buying, looking after us in illness and stoking the stove in the kitchen with wood and coal to keep us warm in winter. She did her own washing of the family clothes in the bath tub. And she did all these things silently. She did not laugh much, but when she smiled at us it was a beautiful thing - well worth waiting for. 8

In the first step, a new design 26 appears in upper left sector and in the second step a new design appears in the lower right sector. Each design is moving clockwise through one step in each subsequent figure and the design which reaches in lower sector gets doubled. The changes from Problem Figure (a) to (b) can be seen in the figure. Similar changes occur from Problem (c) to (d). This problem is based on the rule a=c=e and b=d. In each subsequent figure, one new design is added in front of the preexisting design(s) and all designs move one step anticlockwise. The first element from top moves to the third position, the second element occupies the top position and is reversed, the third element moves to the lower most position and the fourth element moves to the second position. In every figure on the top and bottom one line has been added subsequently.

The figure loses one attachment, rotates anticlockwise through 90, regains the lost attachment, loses the diametrically opposite attachment and so on. The entire figure rotates clockwise through 135. The central hexagon adopts two positions alternately, the small hollow element shifts to the diagonally opposite corner and becomes black, and the existing black element is replaced by a new empty (unblackened) element. The number of dots inside the element increases by one alternately while the number of sides of the element increases by one continuously. The element at the Centre displaces the element at top left corner which displaces the element at bottom right which displaces the element at top right which displaces the element at bottom left which shifts to the top centre, resulting in the second figure. The element at top centre then shifts to the centre 27

(b) The small H and large E enlarge and reduce alternately with the simultaneous shifting through one side length of V anticlockwise and E clockwise, and further accompanied by anticlockwise rotation of E through 90. 43. (a) The column of elements shifts as follows: right, left, centre and so on. With each shift, first the lower two elements and then the upper two elements interchange positions alternately, and with each interchange the third element gets replaced by a new one. 44.

Thus, the next position would be as per the answer figure (d). 50. (b) The element shifts in anticlockwise sense through half-side length and one side length alternately, simultaneously rotating itself clockwise through 90.
