Puzzle 101
Many years ago, a cruise liner sank in the middle of the ocean.
The castaways luckily landed on a remote desert island.
There was enough food for the 220 people to last three weeks.
Six days later a rescue ship appeared, unluckily this ship also sank, leaving an additional 55 people stranded on the island to now share the original rationed food.
The food obviously had to be re-rationed, but everyone was now on one-half of the original ration, so how many days in total would the food last for, from the day of the original sinking?

Can you fill the thermometers with mercury, such that the numbers outside the grid indicate how many cells in each row and column contain mercury?
Mercury always starts filling from the bottom of a thermometer, and not every thermometer has to contain mercury.

At the local nursery school, I was chatting to my daughter's friends and noticed a number of things.
Frankie has mousy coloured hair and the girl with black hair was wearing a green t-shirt.
Lucy is not blonde and Lauren does not have brown hair, Chloe was wearing a blue t-shirt.
The blonde girl was not wearing red and Lauren was not wearing green.
I can't remember who was wearing a yellow t-shirt.
Can you work out the colours of the t-shirt and hair for each child?
