Puzzle 5

Many years ago, a cruise liner sank in the middle of the ocean.

The castaways luckily landed on a remote desert island.

There was enough food for the 220 people to last three weeks.

Six days later a rescue ship appeared, unluckily this ship also sank, leaving an additional 55 people stranded on the island to now share the original rationed food.

The food obviously had to be re-rationed, but everyone was now on one-half of the original ration, so how many days in total would the food last for, from the day of the original sinking?

Student Accommodation – Logic Puzzles

Alex, Bret, Chris, Derek, Eddie, Fred, Greg, Harold, and John are nine students who live in a three storey building, with three rooms on each floor. A room in the West wing, one in the centre, and one in the East wing. If you look directly at the building, the left side is West and the right side is East. Each student is assigned exactly one room. Can you find where each of their rooms is:

Harold does not live on the bottom floor.
Fred lives directly above John and directly next to Bret (who lives in the West wing).
Eddie lives in the East wing and one floor higher than Fred.
Derek lives directly above Fred.
Greg lives directly above Chris.
