-1. You have two cups, one containing orange juice and one containing and equal amount of lemonade. One teaspoon of the orange juice is taken and mixed with the lemonade. Then a teaspoon of this mixture is mixed back into the orange juice. Is there more lemonade in the orange juice or more orange juice in the lemonade?

2. Yvonne, Riven, and Paul went bird watching. Each of them saw one bird that none of the others did. Each pair saw one bird that the third did not. And one bird was seen by all three. Of the birds Yvonne saw, two were yellow. Of the birds Riven saw, three were yellow. Of the birds Paul saw, four were yellow. How many yellow birds were seen in all? How many non-yellow birds were seen in all?

-3. A fish is fifteen inches long. Its head is as long as its tail. If the head were twice as long as it really is, the head and tail would together be as long as what's in between. How long is each part of the fish?

-4. One boy can eat 100 chocolates in half a minute, and another can eat half as many in twice the length of time. How many chocolates can both boys eat in 15 seconds?

-5. I am a word of 12 letters.
My 12, 4, 7, 2, 5 is an eastern beast of burden.
My 1, 8, 10, 9 is a street made famous by Sinclair Lewis
My 11, 3, 6 is past
My whole is a person suffering from delusions of greatness.

-6. If the puzzle you solved before you solved the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was harder than the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?

-7. I am thinking of a three digit number. If you take away the first digit the remaining number is 1 fifth of the original three digit number. If you take away the next digit, the remaining number is 1 fifth of the two digit number.

What was the original three digit number?

-8. We all know that "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers", but how long did it take him?

Peter and Paul together can pick a peck in 20 minutes, and Paul and Patrick together can pick a peck in 30 minutes. Peter and Patrick however, take 40 minutes to pick a peck together.

How long does it take Peter to pick a peck of pickled peppers by himself?

1, They must both be the same. If both cups finish up with the same amount of liquid in them, then the amount of lemon in the orange cup must be the same as the amount of orange in the lemon cup smile

6. After boiling down the conditionals the bottom line is ... yes, the puzzle you solved before you solved this one is harder.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Nope, I'm wrong. I just redid my math and it was Peter who took 15 minutes. You were right, flotsam! wave

They are all hopelessly slow compared to Paul 😊
