THE THIRD DIMENSION
MANDY`S MIND-BOGGLING BRAIN-BUSTERS!
Dispite all my efforts to set you some really difficult puzzles
in the Christmas issue of the diskmag, it seems I failed dismally
as a couple of you managed to solve some of them. Well, I will
have to try and do better this time. Here goes. By the way, I
cannot be held responsible for smoke emerging from earlobes
during puzzle solving.
MONEY PROBLEM
I have an amount of money. However, if I had as many pounds as I
have pence and I had as many pence as I have pounds and then I
subtracted seventy pence I would have twice the amount that I
have actually got! So, how much have I actually got?
EVERYDAY SAYINGS
Can you identify the following everyday sayings that we have all
uttered to ourselves at some time during the years?
1. WORL
2. THE X WAY
3. WORD YYY
4. NO WAYS IT WAYS
5. 1 AT 3:46
6. WHEATHER
7. A CHANCE N
8. YOU JUST ME
9. TIMING TIM ING
10. AT THE . OF ON
11. LU CKY
12. SYMPHON
THE CASE OF THE VANISHING MONEY
Three men went into a restaurant for lunch. The bill comes to
thirty three pounds. They each pay eleven pounds but then the
waiter realises that he has overcharged them and tells them that
the bill should only be twenty eight pounds. So the men tell the
waiter to keep two pounds for himself and to give them one pound
each, so they only pay ten pounds each. Three tens are thirty
and the waiter gets two so who, then gets the pound that is left
over?!
Answers will be published in the next issue of the diskmag. I
wonder how many of you will take up the challenge this time?
