The BrainBashers golf world tour is well underway and Fred is planning the journey to each location.

Unfortunately, the BrainBashers atlas is playing up again and has worked out the mileage incorrectly, as shown below.
Birmingham   47,000
Oslo         18,000
Chicago      32,000
Manhattan    42,000

According to the system, how many miles is it to Sydney?

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 4^th item?
