) | The King’s Night Out R. AND MRS. Simpkins were spending a quiet evening at home. It was March fourteenth and Mr. Simp- kins was working on his. income tax. Mrs. Simpkins was playing Canfield, but she was bored and finally asked Mr. Simpkins if he knew another solitaire. Mr. Simpkins did. He suggested that she take twelve cards from the p: an ace, a deuce, and so on, ce a queen, but no king. The game was to arrange them, in the manner of the dia- gram below, so that each row and each column (of four) should add up to the same amount counting 11 for the knave and 12 for the queen. Mrs. Simpkins did this without much difficulty, but Mr. Simpkins said that he had forgotten to tell her that the various groups of four cards (marked by the circles) should also add up to the same total. This makes nine different ways in all of get- ting the same total, When Mrs. Simp- kins had rearranged the cards to comply with the new conditions Mr. Simpkins told her that everything was correct, but that each group of four cards should be made up of one card of each suit. Can you arrange twelve cards and ful- fill all these conditions? Not on the Level T IS thirty miles by air from Oyster Bay to New York. The schedule of the nine o'clock plane requires the pilot to average 90 miles an hour between these two ports. During the first ten miles of the run, one day, the pilot cov- ered this distance at only 30 miles per hour. At what rate must the plane fly over the next twenty miles to average 90 miles per hour for the entire thirty miles? (it-Vuts By Peter Potter Boundary Line SSUMING that each match in the illustration is one inch long, the space enclosed is 9 square inches. Re- arrange two matches only so that the enclosed area will be 8 square inches. After you have done this rearrange two more and leave 7 square inches enclosed, Then two more leaving six and two more leaving five. | | [| Digit Crypt HE following depicts a sum in long division. Letters have been sub- stituted for the digits from 0 to 9 in- clusive. Each letter always represents the same digit. When you have found the digits represented by each letter arrange the letters in numerical order and they will spell a word. Fifteen min- utes is good solving time for this crypt. PLN) LLULNE (UIS TEP T URBU —ENRE ENRE And Any Good One HE illustration below depicts the onditions prevailing at the end of a game of backgammon. Black has just thrown double one and he is wondering how to play it so that he will have the best chance of getting off on his next throw. What is his best play? WWW WB Double Entry RS. Cadwallader has been market- ing again, This time she pur- chased a can of soup, a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, five pounds of sugar, a head of lettuce, and half a dozen Mrs. Cadwallader kept a et. She had also developed a special system of accounting of her own, All of her records were by pairs (she had heard of double entry.) Her accounts for the above purchases were as follows: The soup and the bread cost 22 cents The bread and the butter cost 46 cents The butter and the sugar cost 61 cents The sugar and the lettuce cost 39 cents The lettuce and the bananas cost 26 cents The bread and the bananas cost 20 cents Can you discover the cost of the separate items? T Time LLUSTRATED below is the letter T, which we wish to cut up into four parts, so that, when the pieces are reassembled, they will form a square. We have put little marks in the T to show you that it is made up of five small squares. From this clue you may dis- cover what will be the length of a side of the new square, which should assist you materially in making your first cut. On the Rocks (Submitted by G. J. Stockly) T = following cryptogram is to be solved by finding the letter repre- sented by each letter in the crypt. It is a straight substitution, each letter al- ways representing some one other let- ter. For example, every time you find a Q you may be sure that it stands for the letter W in the deciphered message.
