Star Wars Competition: WINNERS

ok guys, time for some more giveaways!

1st Place Prize: C3PO Statue
2nd Place Prize: Han Solo Bust
3rd Place Prize: Luke X-Wing Pilot Bust

CONTEST:

Every couple of days, a new question will be posted.
You obtain points depending on how many correct answers you get.
There will be about 10 questions.
All answers have to be emailed to sales@comicstatues.com
Tie breakers will be broken by "Galactus" He will randomly choose a name from a hat (sorry, we don't have a random name picker program).
Once another question is posted, you cannot enter an answer for a previous question. So, once question #4 is up, you cannot send in answers to questions #1-3.
Questions don't have to have anything to do with statues. We will just come up with them as we go along.

The point is to get many involved and everyone a chance to win something.

You cannot post your answer. If you do, you are disqualified and any answers sent after post will be disqualified as well. You can talk about the contest, just not post an answer.

Best of luck!

Question #1

You have a huge box of beautiful busts, enough to provide a border in two rooms. You really can't figure out how to arrange them, however. If you set a border of two busts all around, there's one left over; if you set three busts all around, or four, or five, or six, there's still one bust left over. Finally; you try a block of seven busts for each corner, and you come out even. What is the smallest number of busts you could have to get these results?

To clarify the question:

You have your collection of busts which you want to use to decorate two rooms, each wall having busts on them. At first, you arrange them 2 busts high along each wall. As you're finishing up, you find that you have 1 bust left over. As you re-arrange all of your busts trying to place them 3 high, 4 high, 5 high and 6 high, you STILL have 1 bust left over in the end. Finally, when you place them 7 high along all of the walls in both rooms, you have no busts left over. How many busts do you own?

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
