In tomorrow’s magazine 1 WCL-E01-S1

Su Carroll talks to West Country chef Michael Caines about his first venture into writing a cookbook. She concludes: ‘It’s almost the stuff of a Hollywood movie. A young boy adopted into a large and loving family grew up with a love of food and cooking, fuelled by the vegetables and fruit his father grew in the garden and the wholesome, homely meals his mother prepared in the kitchen’

Impossipuzzles Who am I? 1 “You say the train arrived some time between three and four o’clock yesterday after noon,” said Sandy. “Can’t you give the exact time?” Bert shook his head. “Maybe I could figure it out,” he replied. “I happened to be looking at the clock at that moment, and I do remember noticing the minute hand was just seven minute marks ahead of the hour hand.”

What was the time?

2 “I never knew you were such a music fan!” exclaimed Clare, looking down at the CDs on Holly’s desk. “You must have three or four hundred there.”

Holly picked up a Bee Gees album with a smile. “Not quite that number, but putting them into sets is a problem,” she told Clare. “For all in eights I’m one CD short, and the same for fives. But for sevens I’m one too many.” How many CDs? 3 Linda had her cheque book out. “How much was it?” she asked. “I told you this morning and yesterday too,” replied Harry. “So this time you can work it out yourself. The total in pence is just seven times what you get if you add the number of pence to the number of pounds.” How much?

4 “What did you pay for the oranges?” asked Beryl. “I saw Dellers had them like these at only 3 for 19 pence.”

Andy smiled. “That’s what I got, and also those others at 4 for 31 pence,” he told her. “Just £1.50 the lot.”

How many at each price?
