Puzzle 17
Complete this grid with the digits 1 to 6 to make the sum correct.
Perform each mathematical operation in the order shown, from left to right, so 1 + 2 x 3 is treated as (1 + 2) x 3 = 9.
Consecutive numbers are not next to each other, there is no ÷ 1, and at no point is a decimal or a fraction used.

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the squares cannot be clicked.

Puzzle 19
Last week I travelled from London to Leeds, a distance I measured as 174 miles.
I started at 9.15am and completed the journey with an average speed of 40 miles per hour.
On the way back, in the evening, I travelled exactly the same route, starting at 5.15pm. The traffic was light, and I completed the journey with an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
What was the overall average speed for the round trip?
The answer is not 50 mph.
