Puzzle 2
Below is a grid which should contain animals. The missing letters for a particular column are listed at the top of that column. Can you 'drop' the missing letters in and complete the grid? Each animal begins with a different letter of the alphabet.
Reasoning
I now have 5 miles left to travel, so I must have travelled 5 miles yesterday.
At the end of Day 3, I had 10 miles left to travel, so I must have had 40 miles left at the start of the Day 3.
At the end of Day 2, I had 40 miles left to travel, so I must have had 60 miles left at the start of the Day 2.
At the end of Day 1, I had 60 miles left to travel, so I must have had 120 miles left at the start of the Day 1.
Double-Checking
On the Day 1, I travelled 60 miles, leaving 60 miles.
On Day 2, I travelled 20 miles, leaving 40 miles.
On Day 3, I travelled 30 miles, leaving 10 miles.
Yesterday, I travelled 5 miles, leaving 5 miles.
