Addventure Orange Series

Below is a list of answers to the Addventure Orange Series problems. The answers will have to be put together to find the final "escape" answer!

Frog Wars

9 cranes, 7 frogs
Frogs have 4 legs.
Cranes have 2 legs.
There are 2 more cranes than frogs, and 46 legs total.
If there are 7 frogs, they have 28 legs.
That leaves 18 legs.
Cranes have 2 legs each, so 18 ÷ 2 = 9 cranes.
Tad 1 frog, Reed 8 frogs, You 9 frogs
You had x + 3
Reed had x + 2
Tad had x − 5
3x < 20
2 bags roaches, 3 bags crickets, 1 bag mealworms
a = bags of roaches (19¢)
b = bags of crickets (13¢)
c = bags of mealworms (8¢)
a + b + c = 6 (total bags)
19a + 13b + 8c = 85 (total spent)
‍guess and check, if a = 2 plug in and check
Started with 24 frogs
After round 1: half go to “Maybe” → x/2
Round 2: add 4 new frogs → “Maybe” has x/2 + 4
Final round: add the same number as are in “Maybe” → you double it
31 matches
Each match eliminates exactly one frog.
You start with 32 frogs and want 1 winner.
To go from 32 frogs down to 1, you must eliminate 31 frogs.
Each elimination takes one match.
Lane 1: Mrs. Poppy in purple 16 ft
Lane 2: Mr. Hopper in orange 18 ft
Lane 3: Mrs. Overfield in red 6 ft
Lane 4: Mr. Puddle in blue 24 ft
Lane 5: Mrs Heron in pink 31 ft

15 rectangles
1 = full rectangle
5 = small rectangles
4 = two combined rectangles
3 = three combined rectangles
2 = four combined rectangles
18 sheep by dog, 6 sheep by you
The total is between 20 and 30, so 4x must be one of: 24 or 28.
If 4x=24, then x=6 → dog has 18.
Both even numbers
Barrel = 20 lbs
The wool barrel weighs 40 pounds total, so:
barrel + wool = 40
x+w=40
You’re told the grain weighs twice as much as the wool, so:
grain = 2w
The grain barrel weighs 60 pounds total, so:
barrel + grain = 60
x+2w=60
BamBam is yellow, Ruffles is blue, and YoYo is red
45 handshakes
Each person shakes hands with 9 others.
That looks like 10×9=90,
but every handshake involves two people,
so each one gets counted twice.
So divide by 2.
252 meters
From Marker 1 to Marker 10, you pass 9 gaps between markers
(1→2, 2→3, …, 9→10).
So the distance is: 9×28=252

8 deer, 14 squirrels
A squirrel has 4 legs
A deer has 2 ears + 1 tail + 4 legs = 7 body parts
Your friend notices:Total squirrel legs = total deer ears + tails + legs
guess and check
30 logs
Odd-numbered kids are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.
Each brings back logs equal to their number:
1+3+5+7+9+11=36 logs gathered.
Even-numbered kids are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 — that’s 6 kids.
Each one takes 1 log and sets it aside for the second night.
So subtract those:
36−6=30
3 arrows (5 point circle), 5 arrows (9 point circle) 1 arrow (15 point circle)
guess and check
x = arrows in the 5-point outer circle
‍y = arrows in the 9-point middle circle
‍z = arrows in the 15-point bullseye
Bears will come out together at 2:55
Momma bear and cub appear every 25 minutes
Big bear appears every 35 minutes
They’ll all show up together at the least common multiple of 25 and 35.
Break them down:
25 = 5×5
35 = 5×7
LCM = 5×5×7=1752 hours 55 minutes
12 meters
Let the total length of the log be L.
You’re told:
One-third of the log is buried
8 meters is above ground
So the exposed part is two-thirds of the log:
Badger hole

Jordan, you, Rory, Amari
13
2 more than 100” is 102.
So the number must satisfy:
7x + 11=102
Subtract 11:
7x = 91
Divide by 7:
x=13x
2:43 is time on grandfather clock, and it’s chimed 36 times
Your watch shows 3:30
(hour hand on 3, minute hand on 6).
Now go 47 minutes earlier.
Back up 30 minutes → 3:00
Back up the remaining 17 minutes → 2:43
Amari - Dining Room, Jordan - kitchen, Rory - Bedroom, You - den
30 squares
1 = large square
9 = 2 x 2 squares
4 = 3 x 3 squares
16 = small squares
$4.62
One-eighth are silver dollars
24÷8=3 silver dollars → $3.00
One-fourth are quarters
24÷4=6 quarters → 6 × 25¢ = $1.50
One-half are pennies
24÷2=12 pennies → 12 × 1¢ = $0.12
Now add it all up:
3.00+1.50+0.12=4.62

14,300 gold coins
The coins increase by 500 more each week
Letter O
The number of a letter increases by 2 and the letters increase by 1
So letter position = (number/2)
For 30:
30/2 = 15, the 15th letter is O
Under letter M
5 oranges
Half the fruit are apples → remaining fruit = ½ of the total
One-third of the remaining fruit are oranges
→ oranges = ⅓ of ½ = 1⁄6 of the total fruit
So:
Number of oranges = (total fruit) ÷ 6
A = 9, E = 2
guess and check
171 km
There are 9 gaps between Island E to N
9 x 19 = 171
