  7. 15 is NOT 101. 101 is rejected as it gives 26 and not 6.
    17 is correct.

  10. Q35 is 2592 (2 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6)
    (im pretty sure but idk)

    Firstly, A10 is always 4. 1 + 2 + ... + 10 is 55. So each group should add up to (55-4)/3 = 17.
    Then, there are two possible groupings overall: 1,6,10 + 2,7,8 + 3,5,9 / 2,5,10 + 1,7,9 + 3,6,8

    each group has 6 permutations, and there are 3 groups. overall, there are six possible ways to arrange the groups in the entire sequence. so 2x6x6x6x6 = 2592.
