. The squares of a rectangular board of 11 rows and 9 columns are numbered sequentially 1 through 99 with a hidden monetary reward between 0 and 50 dollars assigned to each square. A game using the board requires the player to choose a square by selecting any two digits and then subtracting the sum of its two digits from the selected number. The player then receives the reward assigned the selected square. What monetary values should be assigned to the 99 squares to minimize the player's reward (regardless of how many times the game is repeated)? To make the game interesting, the assignment of $0 to all the squares is not an option.

. Three children went to the fair to ride the children’s Ferris wheel. There was a toddler, a four-year-old, and a seven-year-old. The three children want to ride the Ferris wheel all together on the same seat. In front of the ride there is a sign that states: maximum weight per seat is 150 pounds.
