Puzzle 1 


Last week my wife and I found ourselves stranded on an island, oops!

Unfortunately, we were also stranded with our two sons, with no clear means of rescue.

Luckily, I came across an old rickety boat which I knew could carry either one adult or two children.

How did I rescue my family?

Puzzle 2 


In Farmer Stone's hay loft, there were several animals, in particular birds, mice, and cockroaches. One day, feeling bored, I decided to count the animals.

I found there were exactly 150 feet and 50 heads in total, and there were twice as many cockroaches as mice.

How many of each animal were there?

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 decipher the sequence and find the well known proverb?
