Puzzle 117 


Last week I drove from Aardvark to Beeville.

On the first day, I travelled 1/3 of the starting distance.

On day two, I travelled 1/2 of the remaining distance.

On day three, I travelled 2/3 of the remaining distance.

At the end of day four, after travelling 3/4 of the remaining distance, I was still 5 miles away from Beeville.

How many miles had I travelled so far?

Puzzle 118 


I was having trouble sleeping last night and I tossed and turned well into the night.

Our local town hall has a clock which strikes on the hour and also strikes just once on the half hour.

During one of my more awake moments I heard the clock strike once, but I could not tell what time it was.

Half an hour later it struck once again, but I still could not tell what time it was.

Finally, half an hour later it struck once again and I knew what the time was.

What time was it?
