        \Question[2] Place the numbers 1,2,3, 4 and 5 in the circles of the following figure so that no two adjacent numbers (that is, numbers with a difference that is 1 ) are connected by a line.
        \begin{center}
        \begin{tikzpicture}
            \node (d) at (0,0) [vertex] {};
            \node (e) at (2,0) [vertex]  {};

        \Question[3] To protect his money from pickpockets, a merchant keeps his coins in several pouches so that he can pay any amount without revealing how much money he has, just by handing over the correct pouches. On the first day of trading he has six coins, so he places one coin in the first pouch, two coins in the second, and three coins in the third. This allows him to pay any value from one to six coins without having to open a pouch. The next day of trading he has 23 coins and five pouches. How should he distribute the coins to ensure that he can pay any amount from 1 to 23 coins?

        \Question[3] It is possible to choose four numbers such that any value between 1 and 40 can be made by taking one or more of these numbers and adding or subtracting them from each other. Find the four numbers, and show how the values from 1 to 40 can be made.
        \question Using all the digits \(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\) and 9 , form two 5 -digit numbers so that their sum is:
        \begin{parts}
            \Part[1] the greatest possible
            \Part[1] the smallest possible
        \end{parts}
