This time, it has replaced all of the consonants with random ones.

I can at least be thankful that it has left the vowels untouched.

Puzzle 4 


My local greengrocer is a would-be mathematician.

She likes to arrange the apples in nice rows.

When she lays the apples in rows of 3, she has one left over.

And, when she lays them in rows of 5, she also has one left over.

Remarkably, she also has one left over when she arranges them in rows of 7 and 9.

But 11 seems to be the magic number, because in rows of 11 there are no apples left over.

How many apples does she have?
