Solution (Previous Puzzle): 7,340 metres. ---- Solution ---- Stage 1: cycled 3,670m leaving 3,670m Stage 2: cycled 1,870m leaving 1,800m Stage 3: cycled 1,350m leaving   450m Stage 4: cycled   300m leaving   150m Stage 5: cycled   150m leaving     0m ---- Solution Method ---- Stage 5's clue tells us that there were 150m left. So the distance left at the start of Stage 4 must have been: Dist4 = Dist4 + 75 + 150         -----           2 Which simplifies to give Dist4 = 450m. Stage 3's clue tells us that 450m was one quarter of the remaining distance, so Dist3 = 1,800m. Stage 2's clue tells us that the distance at the start of Stage 2 was: Dist2 = Dist2 + 35 + 1800         -----           2 Which simplifies to give Dist2 = 3,670m. Stage 1's clue tells us that 3,670m was half the overall distance, which means the entire ride was 7,340m. Innovation of the Day In 1791, Samuel Briggs and his son, Samuel Briggs, Jr. became the first father-son pair to receive a joint U.S. patent. Their invention was a nail-making machine.
