Puzzle 5 


Last week, I travelled from Birmingham to Glasgow, the long way round (on a bicycle!).

On the first day, I travelled one quarter of the distance.

On day two, I travelled one half of the remaining distance.

On day three, I travelled three quarters of the remaining distance.

Yesterday I travelled one third of the remaining distance.

I now have 21 miles left to travel.

How far is it from Birmingham to Glasgow in total?
