Puzzle 187 


I recently travelled from my home town to a distant music concert, on a pedal tricycle, of all things! My wonderful, three-wheeled tricycle.

I knew that the epic 2,345 miles would wreak havoc on the tyres, but luckily I took along 4 spares!

Instead of waiting for any single tyre to fail, I decided that I would rotate the tyres evenly, making sure that by the end of the trip, all seven tyres had travelled exactly the same distance.

What was the distance that each tyre travelled?

A well-known seven-letter word can be created, by starting with a single letter and adding a letter, one at a time, then mixing the letters, each time making a proper word. Using the clues below, which are not necessarily in the correct order, can you find all seven words? For example, A, AT, TAR, RATE, etc.

Expressing position within limits of space and time.
The subject of self-consciousness.
Frozen atmospheric vapour falling to earth.
To utter musical sounds with the voice.
Cause to oscillate.
Scattering on the earth.
The breaking of divine law.
