Puzzle This Out. AT THE BAZAAR
The professor was having breakfast with his daughters. “Listen,” said Mary, “to the curious conditions drawn up by the Bazaar Committee: ‘No article is to be priced at more than five shillings.’ ‘Every article is to cost an exact number of shillings.’ •There are not to be more than two prices at any stall.’” “How much will you give us to spend?” asked Martha. The professor made a rapid calculation. “I will give you £4/9/-,” he said. “You are to spend it all at one stall; no two of you will spend the same amount; and each of you will buy a present for me and a present for each of the others.” "Which stall are we to spend it at?” asked Mary. The professor laughed. “I am afraid you will have no option.” How many daughters has he? Answer to Yesterday’s Puzzle The canoe makes seven journeys back and forth, the passengers being as follows :— (1) Sambo and Tembo; (2) Sambo; (3) Sir George and Sambo; (4) Sir George; (5) Sir George and Jumbo; (6) Sambo; (7) Sambo and Limbo. The sequence, can, of course, be reversed.
