Nice puzzles. After all those mince pies it is no wonder Horace is the heaviest of his friends... smile

Re: New Puzzles 2

Hi;

Pure-Coincidence was the first problem I ever saw. My Mom showed it to me and I never forgot how amazing the solution was.

Hungry Horace reduces to three simultaneous equations.

horace = 50
tim        = 25
kate      = 35


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
