Power Play I ( 30 August 2008)

We will start with power plays now. It shall consist of 10 Problems and You are expected to solve them in 25-30 Mins. Each correct answer carries 5 marks. The first two wrong answers carry (-1) marks each, the next two (-2) marks each and so on. Maximum time is 30 mins, but you are expected to solve in 25 mins!

Good Luck !

Please hit the comment button and post  your keys, I will post the official keys and solution in 7 days time!

And We will have a better mechanism hopefully, by the next powerplay!
