Let's solve the problems one by one.

### Problem a):
The numbers in the pyramid follow the rule that each number is the product of the two numbers directly below it.

- The two bottom numbers are 5 and 6.
- The product of 5 and 6 is \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \).

Now, the two middle numbers are 5 and 30:

- The product of 5 and 30 is \( 5 \times 30 = 150 \).

So, the top number is 150.

### Solution for Problem a):
- Top number: **150**
- Middle numbers: **30**
- Bottom numbers: **5, 6**

---

### Problem b):
Given:
- The bottom two numbers are 190 and 2.
- The middle number is \( 190 \times 2 = 380 \).

Now for the top number:
- \( 380 \times 2 = 760 \).

### Solution for Problem b):
- Top number: **760**
- Middle numbers: **380**
- Bottom numbers: **190, 2**

---

### Problem c):
Given:
- Bottom two numbers: 61 and 1.
- The middle number is \( 61 \times 1 = 61 \).

Now for the top number:
- \( 61 \times 1 = 61 \).

### Solution for Problem c):
- Top number: **61**
- Middle numbers: **61**
- Bottom numbers: **61, 1**

---

### Problem d):
Given:
- Bottom two numbers: 45 and 30.
- The middle number is \( 45 \times 30 = 1350 \).

Now for the top number:
- \( 1350 \times 30 = 40500 \).

### Solution for Problem d):
- Top number: **40500**
- Middle numbers: **1350**
- Bottom numbers: **45, 30**

---

### Problem e):
Given:
- Bottom two numbers: 16 and 32.
- The middle number is \( 16 \times 32 = 512 \).

Now for the top number:
- \( 512 \times 32 = 16384 \).

### Solution for Problem e):
- Top number: **16384**
- Middle numbers: **512**
- Bottom numbers: **16, 32**

---

### Problem f):
Given:
- Bottom two numbers: 132 and 61.
- The middle number is \( 132 \times 61 = 8052 \).

Now for the top number:
- \( 8052 \times 61 = 491172 \).

### Solution for Problem f):
- Top number: **491172**
- Middle numbers: **8052**
- Bottom numbers: **132, 61**

### Follow-up Questions:
1. What is the formula to find the top number in the number tower?
2. Can you find the middle number if the top and bottom numbers are given?
3. How would the problem change if you are given the middle numbers first?
4. What happens if one of the bottom numbers is zero?
5. Can you find a method to check your answers without recalculating?

**Tip:** Always verify your multiplication, as a small mistake can lead to an incorrect result in a problem involving multiple steps.
