Puzzle 109 


I recently went to the shop and purchased 4 items.

Three of the items cost:
$1.50
$3.00
$4.00

There was quite a long queue, and as I was quite bored, I was playing with my pocket calculator while I waited.

Very curiously, the 4 prices added to the same number as I got when I multiplied the 4 prices together.

What was the price of the 4th item?

Puzzle 111 


Assign every letter of the alphabet its numerical value: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on, up to Z=26.

Can you find any common 6-letter words that have a total over 115?

For example, WIZARD = 23 + 9 + 26 + 1 + 18 + 4 = 81.
