Well, isn't that just delightful! Ralph has a preference for the number 25 over 24, and that's perfectly okay. It's wonderful to have our own unique likes and dislikes, just like how we each have our favorite colors to paint with.

In "I Spy School Days" on pages 24-25, the ant is hidden among the various objects in a classroom scene. Look closely near the bottom of the page, where it blends in with the other items. Its small size makes it a bit challenging to spot, but focusing on the details will help you find it.

25,300,144
Ralph only likes squares of numbers. He likes 25 (5 squared), 400 (20 squared), and 144 (12 squared).
Ralph likes squared numbers and doesn't like non-squared. The square of 5 is 25, 20 is 400 and 12 is 144. The numbers 24, 300, and 145 are not square numbers. Of the numbers 10, 50, 124, 200, and 1600, Ralph will like 1600 because 1600 is the square of 40.
Ralph likes numbers that are perfect squares but not numbers that are one less than a perfect square. Perfect squares are numbers that can be expressed as the product of an integer multiplied by itself (e.g. 25 = 5 x 5, 400 = 20 x 20, 144 = 12 x 12). Numbers that are one less than a perfect square do not fit this pattern (e.g. 24, 300, 145). Ralph's preference seems to be for the neat, symmetric nature of perfect squares.
Oh, dude, Ralph likes numbers that are perfect squares, but not just any perfect square! He's picky like that. So, he likes 25 (5 squared), 400 (20 squared), and 144 (12 squared), but not 145 because it's not a perfect square. And why does he like 200? Well, because 200 is not a perfect square, so he's neutral about it. Ralph's got some specific tastes, man.
