2 Marge and Bill live a quarter of the way along the straight road from Pitt to Cherry.

Driving over to Ted’s place, 18 kilometres north of their home, they found the old bridge was down. “So we turn back and go via Cherry,” Marge declared.

“It’s only 12 kilometres from Ted.” “Sure, or we could go via Pitt,” Bill replied. “Same total distance either way, and they’re all good straight roads.” They were also exact numbers of kilometres, so how far was Ted’s place from Pitt?

ANSWER: Ted was 22 km from Pitt.

3 “Look, mum,” said Bobby, pointing to a little heap of coins.

“All from my piggy bank.” Joan looked. “That’s a lot,” she commented. “How much in all?”

The boy grinned. “A third of them are 1p pieces, a quarter are 5p, a seventh are 10p, and the other twenty-three are 20p.”

How much?

ANSWER: Bobby had £7.13 (84 coins).

4 “You’ve got two boys and two girls. How old are they?” asked Steve. “It’s odd you asking, because my older son Pete noticed a coincidence about their ages last night,” Clem replied. “The square of his age, added to my age, makes the square of Susan’s age added to Betty’s age. And the square of Paul’s age, added to my age, gives Susan’s age added to the square of Betty’s age.” “Okay, that’s all I need.” Steve chuckled. “I know you’re thirtyfive yourself.” He was right, so what were the four ages?

ANSWER: Peter 14 years old, Paul 4, Susan 15, Betty 6.

5 “Congratulations, but the age gap does seem a bit big,” said Clare. “How old is Chris anyway?“ Sam smiled. “Well, I’ll tell you. But it’s love that matters, not age. If you multiply the sum of our two ages by their difference, you get one more than five times the square of my age.” Love’s young dream! But what were their ages?

ANSWER Sam is 20, Chris is 49.

6 “Sorry,” said Roy, “but I can give you forty pence. If I gave you a pound, you’d have twice as much as me.” Linda smiled.

“Well, that’ll help a lot,” she told him. “I’ll have twice what I’ve got now.” How much did Roy have?

ANSWER: Roy had £1.70.

The word may sound familiar, but do you know what it means?
