The local River Trent is 4,100 inches wide, which happens to be a fantastic number.
There is a magnificent, perfectly straight, bridge that spans the river at right angles.
During a recent survey of the area, it was found that one-seventh of the overall length of the bridge was on one bank of the river, and one-eighth of the bridge was on the other bank.
What is the total length of the bridge that spans the River Trent?

Greenjack Round #1 - Logic Puzzles
You find yourself playing a game with your friend.
It is played with a deck of only 16 cards, divided into 4 suits:
Red, Blue, Orange, and Green.
There are four cards in each suit:
Ace, King, Queen, and Jack.
All Aces outrank all Kings, which outrank all Queens, which outrank all Jacks, except for the Green Jack, which outranks every other card.
If two cards have the same face value, then Red outranks Blue, which outranks Orange, which outranks Green, again except for the Green Jack, which outranks everything.
Here's how the game is played: you are dealt one card face up, and your friend is dealt one card face down. Your friend then makes some true statements, and you have to work out who has the higher card, you or your friend. It's that simple!
Round 1:
You are dealt the Green Ace and your friend makes three statements:
My card is higher than any Queen.
Knowing this, if my card is more likely to beat yours, then my card is Blue. Otherwise, it isn't.
Given all of the information you now know, if your card is more likely to beat mine, then my card is a King. Otherwise, it isn't.
Who has the higher card, you or your friend?
