Puzzle 154 


Last week I decided to cycle to my Grandparents's house.

On the 1st day, I cycled half of the distance.

On the 2nd day, I cycled one half of the remaining distance.

On the 3rd day, I cycled three quarters of the remaining distance.

On the 4th day, I cycled 10 miles.

On the 5th day, I cycled two thirds of the remaining distance.

On the final day, I cycled the remaining 5 miles.

How far is it to my Grandparent's house?

Puzzle 156 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you decipher the sequence and find the well known proverb?

-......-.......-.---..-.------.-...-....-.-..--.---.-..-....-.------.-..
Luckily, BrainBashers has provided you with a list of the Morse code characters:
