“This thing has stopped.” Jim smiled. “So you want to know the time, eh?” he commented.

“Well, it’s twice as many minutes after four as it would be if it were twice as many minutes before five as it is.”

What an answer for a hot summer’s afternoon! What was the time?

ANSWER 4.40pm.

3 Jack had his army arrayed in two solid squares on the big table. “That’s funny,” he declared. “The soldiers along the eight sides come to 104, exactly one fifth of the total I’ve got there.” “You do have a lot,” his father commented. “But you could have the same one-fifth ratio with quite a different total number for two squares.” He was right, so what would the number have been?

ANSWER 680 soldiers (196 and 484) 4 “I just noticed a funny coincidence about the ages of our respective parents,” said John. Molly put down her book.

“I suppose you mean Dad’s one year older than Mother, and there’s also one year between your parents.” “That’s only part of it,” her husband replied. “If you write your mother’s age before your father’s, you get the product of my parents’ ages.”

“Who’s winning?“ Jeff paused in his dealing. “I am so far, Dad. But I’ve only won 14p,” he declared. “Anyway, I’ve got five times as much as I would have if I’d lost that instead.” How much did he start with?

ANSWER Jeff started with 21p.

6 “I’m quite a bit older than you, dear,” said Charlotte. “But there’s something else that’s odd about our ages.” Her husband smiled. “I’m happy about them, but what?” “Well, multiplied together they make the square of Ted’s age,” Charlotte replied. “And a year ago their product was sixty less, and sixty happens to be your Dad’s age.” How old was Charlotte?

ANSWER Charlotte 36 years old, her husband 25.

2 “It must be after four,” said Susan, shaking her watch.

“This thing has stopped.” Jim smiled. “So you want to know the time, eh?” he commented.

“Well, it’s twice as many minutes after four as it would be if it were twice as many minutes before five as it is.”

What an answer for a hot summer’s afternoon! What was the time?

ANSWER 4.40pm.

3 Jack had his army arrayed in two solid squares on the big table. “That’s funny,” he declared. “The soldiers along the eight sides come to 104, exactly one fifth of the total I’ve got there.” “You do have a lot,” his father commented. “But you could have the same one-fifth ratio with quite a different total number for two squares.” He was right, so what would the number have been?

ANSWER 680 soldiers (196 and 484) 4 “I just noticed a funny coincidence about the ages of our respective parents,” said John. Molly put down her book.

“I suppose you mean Dad’s one year older than Mother, and there’s also one year between your parents.” “That’s only part of it,” her husband replied. “If you write your mother’s age before your father’s, you get the product of my parents’ ages.”

How old were his parents?

ANSWER John’s parents aged 78 and 79 years.

5 “Gambling, eh?” said Alan, finding the boys playing cards with some pennies on the table.

“Who’s winning?“ Jeff paused in his dealing. “I am so far, Dad. But I’ve only won 14p,” he declared. “Anyway, I’ve got five times as much as I would have if I’d lost that instead.” How much did he start with?

ANSWER Jeff started with 21p.

6 “I’m quite a bit older than you, dear,” said Charlotte. “But there’s something else that’s odd about our ages.” Her husband smiled. “I’m happy about them, but what?” “Well, multiplied together they make the square of Ted’s age,” Charlotte replied. “And a year ago their product was sixty less, and sixty happens to be your Dad’s age.” How old was Charlotte?

ANSWER Charlotte 36 years old, her husband 25.
