If I went halfway to a town 60 km away at the speed of 30 km/hour, how fast do I have to go the rest of the way to have an average speed of 60 km/hour over the entire trip?

It’s impossible. You need to complete the 60km distance in one hour, and you’ve already been on the road for an hour.

Right now Mummy is 21 years older then her child. In 6 years her child will be 5 times younger than she.Where is Daddy?

Child’s age = CMummy’s age = M = C + 215(C + 6) = M + 6 5(C + 6) = C + 21 + 6 5C + 30 = C + 27 4C = -3 C = -3/4

This pool has 4 taps.

Tap A takes 1 day to fill the pool.

Tap B takes 2 days.

Tap C takes 3 days.

Tap D takes 6 days.

How long would it take to fill the pool if all 4 taps were running simultaneously?

Tap A: 1 pool per day

Tap B: ½ pool per day

Tap C: 1/3 pool per day

Tap D: 1/6 pool per day

Altogether:

6/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 =

12/6 = 2 pools per day

Time taken to fill one pool at this rate:

½ a day

DiophantusThis tomb tells scientifically the

measure of his life. He was a boy for a sixth of his life; after a further twelfth, his cheeks acquired a beard; He was married after a

further seventh, and in the fifth year after his marriage he fathered a

son. Alas, his son died at only half the span of his father’s life, and

after finding comfort in maths for a further 4 years, he passed away.

These cylindrical vessels (of negligible thickness) are placed one inside the other, then filled with water, then removed from each other.

Which one contains the most water?
