Puzzle 6
Three people check into a hotel.
They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room.
The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the porter to return to the people.
On the way to the room the porter reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so they keep £2 and give £1 to each person.
Now each person paid £10 and got back £1.
So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The porter has £2, totalling £29.
Where is the missing £1?

Be My Valentine – Logic Puzzles
Freddie was in love with three girls. He couldn't decide who he wanted to give his heart to, so he sent all three a Valentine's card. But poor Freddie was out of luck, as each girl thought the card came from someone else and Freddie was left on the sideline.
From the clues below, can you work out the name of each potential sweetheart, the colour of each card Freddie sent and the name of the boy each girl believed the card was sent by?
Unluckily for Freddie, when Miss Jetson received her card, she thought it was from Adam.
When Molly received her blue coloured card, she told Miss Hanson, and together they worked out who the card was from. It didn't occur to either of them that it was from Freddie!
