Puzzle 1 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you find the ten animals?

Puzzle 4 


Last week I drove from Aardvark to Beeville.

On the first day, I travelled 1/3 of the starting distance.

On day two, I travelled 1/2 of the remaining distance.

On day three, I travelled 2/3 of the remaining distance.

At the end of day four, after travelling 3/4 of the remaining distance, I was still 5 miles away from Beeville.

How many miles had I travelled so far?
