Puzzle 305 


I started out on the journey from the forest with a full tank of fuel, 12 gallons exactly.

However, the moment I started out, the fuel tank sprung a leak. I travelled at 50 mph until I ran out of fuel exactly 4 hours later.

I know that the car does 25 miles for each gallon.

How much fuel had I lost through the hole?

Puzzle 307 


This year, Farmer Stone's harvest of apples was quite significant.

He decided to donate some apples to the local community, 1,672 people in all.

Every person aged 50 or more received 16 apples, and every person under 50 received 96 apples.

Only 3⁄4 of the over 50s collected their apples, and only 1⁄8 of the under 50s collected theirs.

How many apples did the farmer give away?
