    In the Sunken Library, a diving automaton activates glowing floor tiles numbered consecutively from 1 to 100. The automaton starts on tile 47 and moves forward along the path, stepping on every single tile until it reaches tile 53. Which sequence shows all the tiles the automaton steps on after tile 47 to reach tile 53 by counting forward by ones?

    • A) 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53
    • B) 48, 49, 60, 61, 62, 63
    • C) 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52
    • D) 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54

    In the Starlight Observatory, an apprentice astronomer calibrates the brass focus ring of a celestial telescope marked with tick marks from 1 to 100. As she turns the ring notch by notch, she counts forward by ones aloud: 87, 88, 89. Which number must she say next to continue counting forward by ones correctly?

    • A) 80
    • B) 81
    • C) 90
    • D) 91

    In the Crystal Caverns, an apprentice gem-crafter packs glowing crystals into cases of ten to reach a total of 100 crystals. She tracks the total count by counting forward by tens: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. If she packs 3 more cases of ten and continues counting forward by tens, which list shows the next three numbers she counts?

    • A) 51, 52, 53
    • B) 40, 30, 20
    • C) 60, 70, 80
    • D) 70, 80, 90
  4. 4.

    In the Clockwork Observatory, a miniature brass beetle crawls along a railway with stations numbered from 1 to 100. The beetle starts at station 60 and must travel forward to station 100 to wind the great star-clock. If the beetle advances by counting forward by tens with each jump, how many jumps of ten does it make to reach station 100?

    • A) 3 jumps
    • B) 5 jumps
    • C) 4 jumps
    • D) 40 jumps
  5. 5.

    In the Whispering Forest, Pip the hedgehog lights lantern mushrooms along a winding night path. Pip starts at mushroom 40 and counts forward by tens three times. From there, Pip counts forward by ones five more times to reach the final mushroom. What number is on the final lantern mushroom that Pip lights?

    • A) 65
    • B) 75
    • C) 74
    • D) 85
