Thank you.

I suppose you can just try GOOGLE it, but most likely you won't be able to get the full solution to all questions. Perhaps you can just post some of the problems which you are interested in knowing the full solution so that I can provide some help.

I believe you are referring to the sample questions on the HCI SMOPS website. The first one is the actual 2007 smops paper. You can buy the official booklet from centres like mathshub or learninginteractive i think.
The second one should be the actual 2009 paper i believe. I don't think hci published it. But I remembered AEP (Affinity Education Place) once mentioned they are selling it...

Hi Andrew Lee,

for this type of question, we will encourage our students to start from small and look for a pattern.

This is how it goes:
9 x 8 = 72 (Sum of digits = 9)
99 x 88 = 8712 (Sum of digits = 9 x 2 = 18 )
999 x 888 = 887112 (Sum of digits = 9 x 3 = 27)
9999 x 8888 = 88871112 (Sum of digits = 9 x 4 = 36)
.
.
.
For the case with 2001 digits of 9 and 8,

999....9 x 888...8 = 888...87111...12 (Sum of digits = 9 x 2001 = 18009)

Dear longvale,

We welcome both positive and negative postings on service providers from members with more than 20 post counts. We automatically embargo negative posts from members with less than 20 post counts to protect service providers from being victimised by users who sign up accounts just to start a campaign against the provider. While we have been more lenient with positive posts from new users regarding service providers, we are mindful that these posts could well be from service providers masquerading as satisfied customers.

In your case, some members have noted that your enthusiasm in cross posting your satisfaction with a certain mind-training program in a number of threads in our forum does come across as patronising to that specific program. While we remind users that you did not mention the name of that brain training program and so you should not be seen as promoting any specific service provider, we would like to remind you that you have made those postings under an anonymous user ID and incomplete user name, which makes you impossible to be identified in the real world. To claim defamation under such a virtual existence would be difficult to substantiate. At the same time, please note that you have agreed to our http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/terms-service-wwwkiasuparentscom when you sign up for your KiasuParents.com account. I will like to draw your attention to sections 10 and 11 of the TOS.

While we appreciate your contribution to the discussions on our forum, we feel that you may not fully comprehend the potential ramifications of participating in open Internet-based discussions. We will therefore accede to your request for the removal of posts that you claim defame you, along with all the other posts which you have made. For your own protection, we have also terminated your KiasuParents.com account, so that you will not have to worry about being defamed anymore.

Thank you.
