This year, Farmer Stone's harvest of apples was quite significant.
He decided to donate some of the 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?
Puzzle 4
Apparently, one side of a cat has more hair. The findings of the scientific establishment have been corroborated by a special enquiry by the BB Feline Federation. Many hair counts were taken of the side in question and consistently it was found to contain more hairs. The scientists determined that more hair was required on this side to insulate the cat from the elements while it was lying down. Perhaps you would like to examine a cat to confirm the findings. Before you do, can you guess which side of a cat has more hair?
