Chicken Puzzle
In Farmer Donald's hay loft there are a number of ants, mice and chickens.
There are ten times as many ants as there are mice and there are four times as many mice are there are chickens.
Altogether there are 1806 feet.
How many chickens are there?
Solution (Previous Puzzle):
Race 1: Blake, Chris, Alex, Dale.
Race 2: Chris, Dale, Alex, Blake.
To explain - since Chris always beat Dale and Dale had a second place, one race must have been Chris first and Dale second. Blake therefore won the other race with Chris second. Since only one runner finished in the same place in both races, this must have been Alex in third.
