More Puzzle for the Day Anagram for the Day Apple Puzzle If I took 12 apples from a pile of 23 apples... ...how many apples would I have? Solution (Previous Puzzle): 27. The children are 9, 7 and 2. As my children are different ages, the lowest they could be is 1, 2, 3, and as our ages add to 45 this would make me 39. Working backwards the only answer to make the sum correct is 27 + 2 + 7 + 9 = 45. Alternatively, we could use algebra and say that I am 10A + B years of age. My children are A, B and A+B years of age. Our ages add to 45, so:       10A + B + A + B + A+B = 45 Collecting like terms together gives:       12A + 3B = 45 Dividing throughout by 3 gives:       4A + B = 15 If A = 1 then B would be 11, which makes no sense for an age. If A = 2 then B = 7 and as all values that work give us a correct answer. So I am 27. Note how A = 3 would make B = 3, which isn't allowed. And A > 3 will take us past 15, so there can be no other solutions. An anagram is a word made by using letters of another word in a different order.

One is the same age as the first number in my age, another is the same age as the second number in my age, and the third is the same age as the sum of the two numbers in my age. None of the children are the same age and the total of our ages is 45. How old am I? Solution (Previous Puzzle): 21 hours and 36 minutes. In 12 hours: 6 large pipes can drain 1 reservoir. In 24 hours: 6 large pipes can drain 2 reservoirs. In 24 hours: 3 large pipes can drain 1 reservoir.        [1] In 8 hours: 3 large + 9 small pipes can drain 1 reservoir. In 24 hours: 3 large + 9 small pipes can drain 3 reservoirs. But, by [1] we know that in those 24 hours 3 large pipes can drain 1 reservoir. Therefore the other 2 reservoirs can be drained by the small pipes on their own: In 24 hours: 9 small pipes can drain 2 reservoirs. In 24 hours: 1 small pipe can drain 2/9 reservoirs. In 216 hours: 1 small pipe can drain 2 reservoirs. In 216 hours: 5 small pipes can drain 10 reservoirs. Therefore 5 small pipes can drain 10 reservoirs in 216 hours. 216 hours ÷ 10 = 21.6 hours. 21.6 hours = 21 hours and 36 minutes. An anagram is a word made by using letters of another word in a different order. Example: shot à host Find the anagram for the following: Rustic Salted Scared Solution (Previous): RESIST : SISTER RIPENS : SNIPER RULING : LURING Innovation of the Day In 1881, a patent for a "Life Saving Apparatus" was issued to black American inventor, James Wormley (U.S. No. 242,091). In 1887, the famous American inventor Elijah J. McCoy received another of his many patents for lubricating devices (U.S. No. 363,529). In 1892, Thomas A. Edison was issued three patents for an "Electric Locomotive" and a fourth patent relating to an "Electric Railway" (U.S. Nos. 475,491 -4).
