小学奥数Mathematical Olympiad - Primary School

There are 10 men in a basket ball court, each of the man shakes hands with every other man once. How many "handshakes" are made? What if 100 men?

在篮球场上,有10个人互相握手,问共握了多少次手?100 个人呢?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

123456789101112131415 ... ... 9899100 has how many digit "1" ?
What if from 1 to 1000?

123456789101112131415 ... ... 9899100共有多少个1?
从1到1000呢?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually this is  primary 3 / 4 level (standard 3 / 4 ) ...
这其实是小学 3 或 4 年级的奥林匹克数学问题。。。
