16. Before the football game, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, the following five
predictions were made:
i) The game will not end in a draw.
ii) Real Madrid will score at least one goal. iv) Real Madrid will win.
iii) Real Madrid will not lose. v) Exactly three goals will be scored.
It turns out that exactly three of these predictions then come true. How many goals did Real Madrid score?

diagram. Which of the diagrams shows the situation when the pentagon fills the hole entirely
again for the first time?
21. The faces of the prism shown, are made up of two triangles and three squares. The six
