Yesterday I was asked to buy some stamps.

Stamps, in the land of BrainBashers, are available in 2p, 7p, 10p, 15p and 20p denominations.

For three types of stamp, I was asked to buy five of each.

For the other two types of stamps, I was asked to buy six of each.

Unfortunately, I forgot which I was supposed to buy five of and which to buy six of.

I had been given £3.00, which just happened to be the exact money required, so the shopkeeper was able to work out what stamps I needed.

Which stamps did I buy?

Boat Club Boats – Logic Puzzles

At the local model boat club, four friends were talking about their boats.

There were a total of eight boats, two in each colour: red, green, blue, and yellow.

Billie didn't have a red boat, but did have a green one.
One of the friends had a yellow boat and a blue boat.
Another friend had a green boat and a blue boat.
Charlie had a yellow boat.
Drew had a blue boat, but didn't have a green one.
Can you work out which friends had which coloured boats?

Disastrous Dave was washing windows on a multi-storey office building when he took a fall off a fifty foot ladder, directly onto the concrete pavement below.

Amazingly, Dave didn't get hurt at all.

How can this be possible?
