Are these papers meant for primary schools' kids? I can't seem to solve any at all. :x

Hmm Its the SMOPS, so it is indeed. Even though they are for primary school students, anyone probably has to concentrate like them, like really think hard to solve.

Thinking hard is definitely insufficient. I guess there must be some methods to solve this type of problems esp \"how many zeros in the number 1234567891011....20042005\".

Sigh... my level of maths is not even up to primary school's standard.

[CoffeeCat]

the method used is merely systematic listing/counting, so its not as bad as you think.
