Puzzle 10 



During the recent BrainBashers Football Competition, 5 teams were competing.

Each team played each other just once, with 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.

However, the rain damaged the final scoresheet, and this is all that could be read of the final points after all of the matches:
Longton     6
Fenton      5
Blurton     4
Hulton      2
Fulton      {?}

Can you work out how many points Fulton ended the season with?

Puzzle 11 



Last week, I travelled from London to Stoke.

On the first day, I travelled one half of the distance.

On day two, I travelled one third of the remaining distance.

On day three, I travelled three quarters of the remaining distance.

Yesterday I travelled one half of the remaining distance.

I now have 5 miles left to travel.

How far is it from Stoke to London in total?
