Puzzle 6 


I recently went to the shop and purchased 4 items.

Three of the items cost:
$1.50
$3.00
$4.00

There was quite a long queue, and as I was quite bored, I was playing with my pocket calculator while I waited.

Very curiously, the 4 prices added to the same number as I got when I multiplied the 4 prices together.

What was the price of the 4th item?

Drone RacingLogic Puzzles

After the recent BrainBashers drone racing contest, the four contestants were congratulating each other.

Only one drone had the same race number as the position it finished in.
Adrian's drone wasn't painted yellow, or blue.
Andy's drone beat Avery's drone, whereas Alex's drone beat the drone with race number #1.
The drone painted green (Alex's) finished second, and the drone painted blue had race number #4.
The drone that had race number #3 was painted red, and beat the drone that finished third.
Avery's drone had race number #1.
Can you work out whose drone finished where, its race number, and the colour it was painted?
