Saturday Night Quiz

[NickInABox]

I knew I forgot something:

While we were out today we needed some change for the vending machine. Sorting through what we had we discovered the following:-

Annie had 14 cents more than I did

She then gave me 16 cents and I then had twice as much as she did

How much did we each have to start with?

As usual, please PM me the answer

kewl. and I haven't even read it yet!

Hi Nick.

 

[NickInABox]

When I first read this and tried to figure it out, it made my brain bleed a little.

 

[NickInABox]

Good job Zion

 

[Jadzia]

submitted.
last week diophantine equations. this week simultaneous equations. next week simultaneous diophantine equations???

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I think I figured out what you're asking for in any case.

Good to see the quiz is still alive and well. To think I was going to submit a riddle myself instead...

The weekends wouldn't be the same without you Nick.

EDIT: Hey, I got it right? Yay me!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Oh, no, not another Math problem.

I think I figured it out, though, in only three tries....

 

[NickInABox]

... and Jadzia

 

[NickInABox]

... And RJ

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Is it just me or is it the same three people taking part in this each week?

 

[NickInABox]

No, it's not you -_-

 

[RJDiogenes]

It's an exclusive club. Maybe we need to advertise in the Yellow Pages or something.....

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Would you welcome other contributors to your quiz as well? I've been working on word-based riddles on and off which, while not taxing, might make people think a little.

Annie's father works in a sweet shop, and instead of pocket money he gives her candy each week. It is always the same handful, consisting of the same number of toffee crisps (which retail at 35c per item) and the same number of curly-wurlies (which retail at 51c per item).

Unfortunately for Annie, she doesn't like candy, and after so many weeks (more than 10 weeks) she hasn't eaten any it, and she works out that her stash is worth $199.12

How many curly-wurlies does Annie get from her father each week?

 

[NickInABox]

Someone had to replace 'p' with 'c' :-p

I'm late to the game, but I do try

Nice to see my method of picking random numbers and running the sums still works

It works with me.
