Question 1
One requiring your own answer

Question 2
If a team is eliminated after one losing game then 31 teams will be eliminated so there will be 31 games.

Question 3
Staircase??

Question 4
If 5 point questions correct are represented by x and 2 point questions correct are represented by y then
5x + 2y = 89 (Equation 1)
The total number correct is 37 so
x + y =37 Multiply this equation by 2 to get
2x + 2y = 74 (Equation 2)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1 to get
3x = 15 ie x = 5
If there were 5 five point questions then there must have been 32 two point questions.
