True or False
# Questions True False
A 4 and 1 are friends
B 3 and 3 are friends
C 3 and 1 are friends
D 1 and 4 are friends
E 3 and 2 are friends
F 2 and 3 are friends
Place the friend (number) in the box.
G 1+ = 5
H 2+ = 5
I 4+ = 5
J 3+ = 5
K + 2 =5
L + 1 =5
M + 4 =5
N + 3 =5
Fill in the box with a number.
Assume that there are no bead available and the upper bead is available.
