Numberpillars
Instructions
Your task is to find the number with the most ‘links’.
Rules
• Start with any number less than 100.
• If the number is even, then halve it.
• If the number is odd, add 1 and then halve it.
• Carry on until you get to the number 1. 10 5 3 2 1
For example: 5 links
• Start with any number less than 100: 10
• If the number is even, then halve it: 10 ÷ 2 = 55
• If the number is odd, add 1 and then halve it: 5 + 1 = 6 then 6 ÷ 2 = 33
• The answer is odd, so you must add 1 and then halve it again: 3 + 1 = 4 then 4÷2 = 22
• If the number is even, then halve it: 2 ÷ 2 = 11
So, the number 10 has 5 links: 10, 5, 3, 2, 1

Lagrange’s Four-Square Theorem
Instructions
Lagrange’s theorem states that every positive integer can be made by adding four square numbers.
For example, 7 is made by 2² + 1² + 1² + 1² (or 4 + 1 + 1 + 1).
Your task is to find eight different ways to make 214 using Lagrange’s theorem.
