Log Puzzle

Imagine you have a block that is very large and a number of logs, 2 feet in circumference.

If the block is on the logs and pushed, how far will the block move for each full turn of a log?

Solution (Previous Puzzle):

148. 148 * 3 = 444.

It's easiest to work backwards and look for a number consisting of 4's that is divisible by 3:

4 ÷ 3 = 1.3333
44 ÷ 3 = 14.6666
444 ÷ 3 = 148 - as required.
