Puzzle 111 


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?

Puzzle 112 


A very long time ago, at the beginning of the week, I was given some money for my birthday.

On Monday, I spent a quarter of the money on clothes.

On Tuesday, I spent one third of the remaining money on music.

On Wednesday, I spent half of the remaining money on food.

Finally, on Thursday, I spent the last £1.25 on a book.

How much birthday money did I receive?
