Puzzle 131 


Recently Kevin had a party and because it was his birthday he wanted a mathematical cake!

He ordered a cake in the shape of a cube and had it completely iced (but of course they didn't ice the underneath because that just isn't very sensible).

He cut every side of the cake into three equal pieces, giving 27 slices of cake.

He ended up eating all of the pieces of cake that had exactly 2 sides with icing.

So, how many pieces did that leave for the guests?

Puzzle 132 


I was travelling from Chesterton to Newcastle recently when I came across a sign which had fallen off its post at the crossroads.

It was marked to Newcastle, Chesterton, Knutton and Silverdale.

Unfortunately I didn't know which road to take to Newcastle and had hoped the sign would help.

Luckily I had a brainwave which helped me put the sign back pointing correctly to Newcastle.

What was my idea?
