The mother bird cries loudly and Sumana rushes to shoo the cat away. As the cat jumps, it hits the big green mango. Dhum! ... In two >seconds, it is on the ground! Oh, how sad!

(2) Subtract 2002 from 2008 to get the number of years from 2002 to 2008.
2008
-2002
6
Hence, Bincy will be 6 years old on 2nd May 2008.
(3) Subtract 2002 from 2052 to get the number of years from 2002 to 2052.

Which Festival comes First?
Question 1 :
See if this magic works for other lines which have five numbers. What about five numbers on a slanting line? Try this trick with your family and friends. Can you find other magic patterns in the calendar?
Answer :
The same pattern is followed for these five numbers also.
2 + 9 + 16 + 23 + 30 = 80
and 16 × 5 = 80
The numbers on the slanting lines are shown below.
29 +23 + 17 + 11 + 5 = 85 = 17 × 5
30 + 24 + 18 + 12 + 6 = 90 = 18 × 5
31 + 25 + 19 + 13 + 7 = 95 = 19 × 5
Yes. There is another magic pattern in the calendar.
8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 77 = 11 × 7
Similar patterns can be seen in other rows too.

5 + 13 + 21 =
6 + 13 + 20 =
19 + 13 + 7 =
12 + 13 + 14 =
Answer :
Since
5 + 13 + 21 =18 + 21 = 39
6 + 13 + 20 = 19 + 20 = 39
19 + 13 + 7 = 19 + 20 = 39
12 + 13 + 14 = 25 + 14 = 39
The sums of all of the numbers are same.
Question 6 :
Now look at the calendar of 2020. Also look for the present month and draw any similar square in your notebook. Does the magic work for these?
Answer :
Since
8 + 16 + 24 = 48
22 + 16 + 10 = 48
15 + 16 + 17 = 48
9 + 16 + 23 = 48
Question 7 :
Is this magic possible on a 10 × 10 number chart? Go to the chapter 'Fun with Numbers' and check.
Answer :
By the diagonal lines:
10 + 19 + 28 + 37+ 46 + 55 + 64 + 73 + 82 + 91= 505 1 + 12 + 23 + 34 + 45 + 56 + 67 + 78 + 89 + 100 = 505 But 95 + 85 + 75 + 65 + 55 + 45 + 35 + 25 + 15 + 5 = 500 ≠ 505 96 + 86 + 76 + 66 + 56 + 46 + 36 + 26 + 16 + 6 = 600 ≠ 505 Similarly,
51 + 52 + 53 + 54 + 55 + 56 + 57 + 58 + 59 + 60 = 600 ≠ 505 41 + 42 + 43 + 44 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48 + 49 + 50 = 500 ≠ 505 Hence, the magic is not possible for a 10 × 10 number chart.
Question 8 :
How many such lines can you draw?
Answer :
Since
6 + 13 + 20 = 39
12 + 13 + 14 = 39
Four such lines can be drawn as:
5 + 13 + 21 = 39
19 + 13 + 7 = 39
