Puzzle 745
Last week, I travelled from Birmingham to Glasgow, the long way round (on a bicycle!).
On day one, I travelled one quarter of the distance.
On day two, I travelled one half of the remaining distance.
On day three, I travelled three quarters of the remaining distance.
Yesterday I travelled one third of the remaining distance.
I now have 21 miles left to travel.
How far is it from Birmingham to Glasgow in total?
If I was in Florida and dropped a heavy ball into a bucket of water which was at a temperature of 45 °F and dropped another identical ball into an identical bucket of water at a temperature of 25 °F …
… which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first?
Hint

Answer
Leap.
From the third letter of the second word, plus the third letter of the first word, plus the second letter of the second word, plus the fourth letter of the first word.
