Puzzle 1
Last week I decided to cycle to my Grandparents's house.
On the 1st day, I cycled half of the distance.
On the 2nd day, I cycled one half of the remaining distance.
On the 3rd day, I cycled three quarters of the remaining distance.
On the 4th day, I cycled 10 miles.
On the 5th day, I cycled two thirds of the remaining distance.
On the final day, I cycled the remaining 5 miles.
How far is it to my Grandparent's house?

The hint will reveal the number of times it occurs, but where are they?

Puzzle 3
After visiting one of my very old relatives, I travelled home in their old jalopy. The car was old and battered, it had a leak from the petrol tank, and I was stuck in second gear.
This meant that I could only travel along at a steady 30 miles per hour and managed a paltry 20 miles per gallon of fuel.
At the start of the journey, I had placed exactly 10 gallons of fuel into the tank. I knew though, that the fuel tank lost fuel at the rate of half a gallon per hour.
Just as I arrived home, the car stopped because it had run out of fuel and I had only just made it.
How far was it from my relative's house to my home?
