Math POTW Finale!

Wow, it is hard to believe that the school year is almost over! This will be the final installment for the Math POTW for this current school year. Thank you to all who provided answers, added to discussions, asked clarifying question, etc. 
 
A BIG special thanks to those Bugtas kids, who answered nearly EVERY Math POTW over the course of the year. Not only did they always provide full details, but they helped keep ME up-to-date and ensured that I had weekly questions posted.

Below is the final Math POTW. Please answer in as much detail as you can. Also, comment on others too!
