Puzzle 1
Which is greater, the number of grooves on one side of a vinyl record (if you can remember them!) or the number of days in the year?
Puzzle 2
During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a binary code contest took place.
The contest consisted of a binary code transmission where the spaces between the letters were missing and there was no punctuation.
Each letter of the alphabet was translated into its binary equivalent based on its position in the alphabet. The resulting code was then blocked in groups of five digits.

Summer Paintings – All Logic Puzzles
At a recent painting competition, the results were mislaid. Luckily, I remembered the following:
Emery's rendition of the Constable painting was not in last place.
The person who painted the Monet was very successful and took first place.
Glen only just managed to avoid last place and came third.
Alex beat the person who painted the Taylor, and the person who painted the Van Gogh beat Drew.
Can you determine who painted what, and who won?
