With these easy ones I don't know if people should post the answer or let others waste 30 seconds working it out, but anyway:
How many squares are there on half a chess board?
nb. I haven't even tried to count the number on a full board. Anybody know a clever mathimatical way to do it that a simpleton (me) could understand?

another:
the sequance 312132 used each of the numbers twice, and each number has that number of other numbers separating them. eg. the 1's have one number between them, the 3's have three numbers between them.
Do the same for numbers 1,2,3 & 4.
Is it possible for 1-5?
