Mathematical Continential problems

Hello people, could anyone help me with these problems?
2) If the 1st day of a certain month is a Monday, then the xth day cannot fall on a Monday. Find x.

3) Find the smallest sum of consecutive numbers that the sum of the divisors are the SAME
My thoughts: None of the two can be prime. semi-brute forcing it led me to no avail.

12) Marcie has 3 sets of lights, One stays lit for 11 secs and goes off for 1 second, a 2nd light stays lit for 7 secs and goes off for 1 second.A 3rd light stays lit for 4 secs and goes off for 1 sec,
If they are all lit together, beginning the lit cycle, how many seconds will it be until ALL 3 turn off?
15) There are 5 boys who play checkers. Each boy played 4 games of checkers against the other boys. How many games are played altogether?
18) Michelle and Audrey begin walking at noon. Michelle walks from P to Q, back and forth at a constant speed of 3mph. Audrey walks from Q to P, at 2mph, back and forth at a constant speed. They meet each other for the first time at 1 PM. When will they be at POINT Q at the same time?
[---]---]---]---]--]
^ 5 miles, each segment is 1 mile.
19) A clock shows 3 or 4 digits at a time. What time is it when the digits have the same sum?
20) How many multiples of 7 are between 250 and 500
21) A = 1,2,3,4,5
B= 6,9,11,16
How many different way to choose exactly one number from both sets A and B that one is prime and the other is a perfect square?
1 is not a prime.

Same sum as what?

20) How many multiples of 7 are between 250 and 500?

21)

Sorry bobbym, I meant for 19, the largest sum.

Re: Mathematical Continential problems

(2) 8 and 9 will do? I have assumed  the SAME means equal. If you mean consecutive then it is different.

How about a bit of clarification on the motion of these two people? Please tell me where Aubrey will be after two hours. Is she back at one or is she at four?

Yes, they seem to be all correct. How did you solve no12?

Re: Mathematical Continential problems

LCM[8,5,12] = 120 is the way for those that have faith in math. I do not unless it is backed up programming or some other EM way. So, I programmed it first and then looked around for a math solution.

Now how about Aubrey and Michelle?
