         it wasn't Arnold

Derek:   it was Charles

         it wasn't Arnold

It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?

Hidden in the grid below are eight, 7 letter words. Each word begins with the central V and you can move one letter in any direction to the next letter. All of the letters are used exactly once each. What are the words?

E	R	M	A	G	I	Y
I	L	A	A	A	C	C
L	N	A	V	A	C	N

I travelled from London to Glasgow last week at 60 miles per hour, I had filled my petrol tank just before I left, so it was full with 25 gallons.

Unfortunately, my petrol tank sprang a leak immediately and I only managed to drive 300 miles before I ran out of petrol.

My car does 30 miles per gallon, how fast was I losing petrol through the hole?

My trustworthy (?!) BrainBashers word processor is playing its silly tricks again.

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

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

Can you find all of the animals?
