Why 6 The second half of the mala is the mirror of the first half. So we only choose the
first 4 beads, and 2 of them must be red. The 2 red beads can sit in places 1 and 2, 1 and 3,
1 and 4, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, or 3 and 4. That is 6 ways.

The comic strip on page 183
Soni asks a painter to make her picture. He says he charges ₹200. He
gives her a sheet on which only half of Soni is drawn. He says the other
half is exactly the same, so she should hold a mirror next to it. Soni then
pays him half the money — one ₹100 note — and tells him to hold a mirror
next to the note.

The story o t a
f he p inter a d S i.

The painter drew only half of Soni but asked for the full ₹200. He said a mirror would show the
other half.
Sample answer: Ask him to draw things whose two halves are not the same, like these.

Why these work: A mirror on the middle of a shoe shows two toes and no heel. So half a
picture of a shoe, a teapot or the letter R is of no use.

The six-sided shape is longer than a hexagon: its top and bottom sides are twice as long as
its slanting sides. So one hexagon does not fill it. It can also be filled with 2 trapeziums and
2 rhombuses, or with 10 small triangles.

Start at the top left. Turn down at the 2nd opening, by the money bag. Go right past the bag,
then down and left to the dog. Zig-zag down to the bottom path and go right to the way out.

Tip: Move your finger first, not your pencil. If a path stops, go back to the last turn and try
the other way.
The straight way: stay on the top path to the far right, then go down the right side to the
way out. It is short, but it is not the maze.
