Puzzle 20 


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?
