If a future Republican president aims to issue executive orders at a rate significantly lower than the historical Republican average but higher than the current rate of Barack Obama, what range of executive orders per day should they target? | They should target a range between approximately 0.09 and 0.2 executive orders per day. | The chart shows that Barack Obama's rate is around 0.09 executive orders per day, which is noted as the slowest since Grover Cleveland. The historical Republican average is shown by the red dashed line at around 0.4. To be lower than the Republican average but higher than Obama's rate, the future president should aim for a rate between 0.09 and 0.2 executive orders per day. This ensures they are issuing more than Obama but still below the traditional Republican average. | 100 |

If a dairy farm aims to reduce milk production costs while maintaining or increasing biotin concentration in milk, what strategy could be inferred from the provided data? | The farm should consider increasing the number of cows beyond 500 and supplementing their diet with biotin. | The graph "Milk Production Cost by number of Cows 2017" indicates that farms with more than 500 cows have lower all-costs per cow. Additionally, the "Effect of Supplemental Biotin on Milk Biotin Concentration" graph shows a positive correlation between supplemental biotin and milk biotin concentration, suggesting that adding biotin supplements can increase biotin levels in milk. Combining these strategies could help reduce costs and improve milk quality. | 101 |

If a new entrepreneur wants to start a business in one of the top five industries but aims to differentiate themselves from existing competitors, which industry should they consider and why? | They should consider starting a business in the "General Retail" industry. | According to the infographic, "General Retail" is one of the top five small business industries but has a relatively lower percentage (7%) compared to others like Business Services (11%) and Food/Restaurant (11%). This suggests that while retail is still popular, there may be fewer businesses in this sector compared to the others, providing a potential opportunity for differentiation. Additionally, retail offers a wide range of niches and product categories, allowing the entrepreneur to find a unique market segment that sets them apart from existing competitors. | 102 |

If the company decides to optimize its data management strategy to reduce the average job duration for "Bridge" items by 20%, how many hours could be saved per month assuming an average of 176 jobs per month? | Approximately 38.9 hours per month. | The average job duration for "Bridge" items is 287 minutes. A 20% reduction would result in a new average duration of 229.6 minutes. With 176 jobs per month, the total time saved would be (287 - 229.6) * 176 = 2334.4 minutes, which is approximately 38.9 hours. | 103 |

If a country were to adopt a similar economic model to China post-2010, based on the trends shown in the graph, what potential challenges might it face in maintaining its GDP growth rate? | The country might face challenges in maintaining its GDP growth rate due to potential overreliance on official statistics that may not fully capture economic realities, leading to misinformed policy decisions. | The graph indicates that the official NBS data shows a more optimistic trend compared to the Conference Board's estimates after 2010. If a country adopts a similar model, it might rely heavily on official statistics that could understate economic challenges. This could result in policies that do not adequately address the true state of the economy, potentially leading to slower growth or other economic issues. Moreover, if the country experiences similar structural changes as China, it may struggle to accurately measure and report these changes, further complicating efforts to maintain a high GDP growth rate. | 104 |

Suppose a country decides to adopt a similar carbon law pathway but starts its emission reduction efforts in 2025 instead of 2020, with current gross emission levels at 40 MtCO₂. What would be the expected total CO₂ emissions from 2025 to 2055 under this new plan? | Approximately 600 MtCO₂. | Starting in 2025 with 40 MtCO₂, the emissions would be halved every decade: 20 MtCO₂ by 2035, 10 MtCO₂ by 2045, and 5 MtCO₂ by 2055. The total emissions can be estimated by summing the yearly emissions over these periods. Assuming linear reductions within each decade, the total emissions would be roughly 600 MtCO₂ from 2025 to 2055. This calculation assumes a consistent application of the halving principle as seen in the original carbon law pathway. | 105 |

If a similar survey were conducted in April 2021, how might the responses differ based on the trends observed between March and October 2020? | It is likely that the percentage of working parents reporting "very difficult" child care responsibilities would continue to increase or at least remain high. Given the ongoing nature of the pandemic and its continued impact on work and family life, the challenges faced by parents may persist or even worsen. | The data shows a consistent increase in the difficulty of handling child care responsibilities from March to October 2020. Assuming the pandemic's effects on daily life remained significant into 2021, it is reasonable to infer that the trend of increasing difficulty would continue. Factors such as prolonged remote work, school closures, and limited access to childcare services could contribute to this ongoing challenge. | 106 |

If a bank wants to reduce churn among customers with an average balance between 3001-4000, what strategy could be effective based on the given data? | The bank could incentivize these customers to increase their point redemption activity. | The "Credit Card Churn by Points Redeemed" chart shows that customers who redeem more points tend to have a lower churn rate. Therefore, encouraging customers with an average balance between 3001-4000 to redeem more points may help reduce their churn probability. This can be achieved through targeted promotions or rewards programs aimed at increasing point redemption. | 108 |
|
If a new medical breakthrough significantly improves the survival rate for lung cancer patients, how might this impact the overall cancer survival rate depicted in the graph? | The overall cancer survival rate would increase substantially. | Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, as indicated by its low survival rate on the graph. A significant improvement in lung cancer survival rates would have a substantial positive impact on the overall cancer survival rate because lung cancer's high incidence and current low survival rate mean that improvements in this area would disproportionately affect the aggregate statistics. | 109 |

If the trend in the graph continues at the same rate, what percentage of respondents might believe that "Global warming is a serious and pressing problem" by the year 2023? | Approximately 70% of respondents might believe that "Global warming is a serious and pressing problem" by 2023. | The black line has been increasing at an average rate of about 2.5 percentage points per year between 2015 and 2019. If this trend continues, it would reach around 70% by 2023. This projection assumes the current rate of change remains constant, which may not necessarily hold true in reality but serves as a reasonable application of the data provided. | 110 |
|
If the current trends continue, how might the composition of foreign exchange spending by Indians change over the next five years? | Over the next five years, the share of foreign exchange spending on education and study is likely to increase, while the share spent on gifts and family aid may decrease further. | The bar chart indicates a consistent increase in the share of spending on education and study over time, while the share spent on gifts and family aid has been decreasing. If these trends persist, it is reasonable to infer that the composition of foreign exchange spending will shift towards education and study and away from gifts and family aid. | 111 |
|
Assuming the company decides to allocate additional resources to improve customer acquisition cost (CAC) efficiency, which specific months should they focus on based on the web traffic concentration data? | They should focus on January, April, and July. | The bar chart for "Web Traffic Concentration" indicates that these months have lower percentages compared to others, suggesting less efficient CAC. By allocating resources to these months, the company could potentially optimize their CAC and improve overall performance during these periods. | 112 |

Suppose a new country decides to join the top donors list with a donation that places it as the third largest donor. What is the minimum amount this country must donate to achieve this position? | The minimum amount the new country must donate is $48 billion. | To become the third largest donor, the new country must donate more than Germany, which is currently the third largest donor with $47 billion. Therefore, the minimum donation required is $48 billion to surpass Germany's contribution and secure the third place. | 113 |

Assuming the investor continues to apply a dollar-cost averaging strategy with consistent monthly investments, how might this strategy impact the portfolio's performance if the market price of Bitcoin recovers significantly in the next year? | The portfolio's performance would likely improve as the average cost per Bitcoin would be lower due to previous purchases at lower prices, leading to higher gains when the market price recovers. | Dollar-cost averaging involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price. During market downturns, this strategy allows investors to buy more units at lower prices. If the market price recovers, the lower average cost per unit will result in higher returns on investment compared to buying at a single higher price point. This strategy reduces the impact of volatility and can lead to better long-term performance if the market trends upward. | 114 |

Suppose a new skyscraper is planned to be built with a design similar to One World Trade Center but aims to surpass its total height by 100 feet. If the building height to the roof remains the same as One World Trade Center, how tall would the mast need to be to achieve this goal? | The mast would need to be 1,876 feet tall. | To surpass One World Trade Center's total height by 100 feet, the new skyscraper must reach a total height of 1,876 feet (1,776 + 100). Given that the building height to the roof is the same as One World Trade Center (1,368 feet), the remaining height for the mast would be 1,876 - 1,368 = 508 feet. Therefore, the mast needs to be 1,876 feet tall in total. | 115 |
|
If a new social media platform were to launch targeting users aged 15-24 who frequently communicate with friends and family overseas, which features should it prioritize based on the existing usage patterns? | The platform should prioritize messaging and communication features similar to WhatsApp. | According to the dashboard, WhatsApp is the most commonly used platform for communicating with friends and family overseas (80%). Since the target demographic is 15-24 years old, and this age group is likely to be active on social media, incorporating robust messaging and communication features would align well with their needs. Additionally, since WhatsApp is already widely used for this purpose, the new platform should aim to offer unique advantages in communication to attract users from this age group. | 116 |

Considering the data on renewable energy growth, if the same percentage increase observed for wind energy between 2002 and 2022 were applied to solar energy starting from 2022, what would be the approximate solar energy consumption in 2042? | Approximately 114,488 TWh. | Between 2002 and 2022, wind energy increased by 3489%. Applying this same percentage increase to solar energy, which was 3,448 TWh in 2022, we calculate the future value as follows: 3,448 TWh * (1 + 3489%) = 3,448 TWh * 35.89 = 123,888 TWh. Rounding to the nearest thousand gives us approximately 114,488 TWh. Note that this assumes the same conditions and factors influencing wind energy growth also apply to solar energy, which may not be entirely accurate but serves as a reasonable application of the given data. | 117 |

If a new policy were implemented in 2025 that significantly reduced the emissions of other greenhouse gases but did not affect CO2 emissions, how might this impact the difference between the average yearly forcing of CO2 and other greenhouse gases by 2030? | The difference between the average yearly forcing of CO2 and other greenhouse gases would likely increase by 2030. | The graph indicates that the average yearly forcing of CO2 has been consistently higher than that of other greenhouse gases. If a policy were implemented in 2025 to reduce the emissions of other greenhouse gases, their radiative forcing would decrease. Since CO2 emissions remain unchanged, its radiative forcing would continue to increase at the same rate. As a result, the gap between the average yearly forcing of CO2 and other greenhouse gases would widen, leading to an increased difference by 2030. | 118 |

Assuming a similar pattern of preference flows in a future election, if the Coalition wants to secure a win in the constituency of Longman with a margin as close as possible to the actual 2019 result, what strategy should they adopt regarding One Nation preferences? | The Coalition should aim to ensure that One Nation preferences flow predominantly towards them rather than being split or reversed. | In Longman, the actual winning margin is much higher than both the "IF O.N. PREFS 50/50" and "IF O.N. PREFS REVERSED" scenarios. This suggests that the Coalition benefited significantly from One Nation preferences flowing their way. To replicate a similar margin in the future, they should focus on maintaining or increasing the proportion of One Nation preferences directed towards them. | 119 |
