The first one is: How many times in a 12 hour period does the sum of the digits on a digital clock equal 6? Try to think of a way to solve this without going through every single time. Describe what you did and explain your reasoning.

The second one is: Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks?

Clarification for second one: Ben and Adam went to buy the seeds with their own money. Basically, they forked out the money for the seeds that all three brothers were splitting evenly. When it asks how much of the sum did Adam and Ben get, they're asking how much of the money that Charlie paid them back for the sacks of seeds purchased went to each (Adam and Ben).
