Take two numbers from 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 at a time to make their sum divisible by 3. How many methods are there?

Divide all the numbers by the remainder of 3
There are 6 and 9 in 0
There are four, seven and ten in the remaining one
The other two have two, five and eight
If you want to divide sum by three, you have to choose two in the first category
Or choose one of the latter two categories, there are 3 * 3 = 9 choices
There are 1 + 9 = 10
