Nazarites who might drink no wine were also forbidden to
eat grapes whereof wine is made."-FULLER.

"All is not lost; the unconquerable will
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield,
And what is else not to be overcome,
That glory never shall his wrath or might
Extort from me;"

(One question only to be answered in each section.)
Section 1.

1. Straight lines which are parallel to the same straight line are

parallel to one another.

2. If two triangles have two sides of the one equal to two sides of the other, each to each, but the angle contained by the two sides of the one greater than the angle contained by the two sides equal to them of the other; the base of that which has the greater angle shall be greater than the base of the other.

3. In every triangle the square of the side subtending either of the acute angles is less than the square of the sides, containing it by twice the rectangle contained by either of these sides, and the straight line intercepted between the acute angle and the perpendicular let fall upon it from the opposite angle.

(The first case only of this proposition need be demonstrated.)

Section 2.

1. Similar triangles are to one another in the duplicate ratio of their homologous sides.

2. If one angle of a triangle be equal to the sum of the other two, the greatest side is double of the distance of its middle point from the opposite angle.

3. If from the point of intersection of the straight lines which beset two angles of an equilateral triangle straight lines be drawn parallel to the sides of the triangle they will trisect the sides.

3. The distance of three inaccessible objects, A, B, C (in the same plane) from one another are, respectively, 840, 760, and 1000 yards. These are observed at a distant point P, and the angle A P B is found to be 22 deg. 11 sec., the angle AP C 17 deg. 13 sec. Determine the position of P by construction, and its distance from the points A B C; or show how these may be determined by calculation.

2. I turn over the pages of a book by fours, and find three odd ones. I then turn them over by fives, and find two odd ones. The last time I do not turn them over so often by twenty times as I did the first. How many pages were there?

3. A passenger train and a luggage train, the one travelling at 10 miles per hour less speed than the other, set out at the same time, the one from London and the other from Carlisle, 210 miles apart, and pass one another at a certain station on the road. The passenger train sets out from Carlisle to return, two hours after the luggage train sets out to return from London; and it is observed that they pass one another at the same station. At what rate do they travel, and how far from London is the station?
