At last week's Girl Guide's picnic, four girls were tucking into their packed lunches. Jane had muffins but Denise didn't have orange juice. The girl who had blackcurrant juice also had scones and Frankie had blueberry juice. The girl who had cake also had strawberry juice, whereas Alice didn't have the strawberry juice nor toast. Can you work out who had which drink and which dessert?

Puzzle 208 



I recently asked a friend of mine to buy me some ribbon for my latest embroidery project.

He went to the haberdashery shop for a particular length, but he accidentally interchanged the feet and inches.

When I measured the purchased ribbon, I only had 30% of the length I required!

How much ribbon did I originally ask for?
