A conservation team installs solar-powered wildlife cameras along a 92-meter forest transect. The first camera is placed at the 11-meter mark, and each subsequent camera is installed by skip-counting forward by 7 meters. If no camera can be installed beyond the 92-meter mark, how many wildlife cameras in total are installed along the transect?

In an educational puzzle game, a student's score increases by skip counting after every solved challenge. A player starts Level 1 with 35 points and skip-counts forward by 8 points for each of the 5 challenges solved in that level. In Level 2, each solved challenge causes the score to skip-count forward by 6 points from the Level 1 final total. If the player completes the game with a final score of 117 points, how many challenges did the player solve in Level 2?

A community marathon places water stations and energy-gel stations along a running route marked in whole kilometers. Water stations start at kilometer 12 and are set up by skip-counting forward by 8 kilometers. Energy-gel stations start at kilometer 15 and are set up by skip-counting forward by 9 kilometers. At which kilometer mark will runners first find both a water station and an energy-gel station together?

Two automated inspection shuttles travel along a line of numbered stations. Shuttle A starts at station 25 and skip-counts forward by 6 stations on each move. Shuttle B starts at station 85 and skip-counts backward by 4 stations on each move. If both shuttles move at the same time and make the exact same number of moves, at which station will they meet?

A robotic cart navigates a measurement test track by following precise skip-counting commands. Starting at the 92-meter mark, the cart skip-counts backward by 8 meters for 4 consecutive movements. From that position, it then skip-counts forward by 5 meters for 3 consecutive movements. At what position on the track does the robotic cart stop after completing all movements?
