The other tutor's answer is wrong because the clue says it's greater than 1, so it can't be 1. The clue: "Multiply me by 3 and the product is less than 20." Since 3 times 7 = 21 tells us that it's 6 or less The clue: "I'm a whole number greater than 1." Now we know it's one of these 6,5,4,3,2 The clue "Divide me by 3 and the remainder is 1". So we divide all the possibilities by 3 and look at the remainders: 2 1 1 1 0 3)6 3)5 3)4 3)3 3)2 6 3 3 3 0 0 2 1 0 2 We see that 4 is the only one that has a remainder of 1 when divided by 3. So the answer is 4. Edwin
