It's back for a limited time! Grab a beer, and no Googling!
1. What number should appear next in this sequence?
17 24 28 36 42 44 ?
2. A man walks south for 3 miles.
Then west for 3 miles,
Then north for 2 miles,
Then east for 1 mile,
Then north for 1 mile.
In which direction and for how far should he walk to return to his starting point? No pen/pencil and paper allowed!
3. On each row place a letter that can be substituted for the second letter of the word to the left to give another word. When completed, a type of animal will be read downwards. [I know some of you don't like word puzzles--if you get the first 3, you can guess the answer.]
What is it?
CROWN___
BRING___
HILLY___
AMPLE___
POINT___
FLAME___
ISLES ___
4. In a busy hour a coffee shop sold three times as many Cappuccinos as Espressos.
24 more people had Americano than had Espresso and three less people had Latte than had Americano.
36 people ordered Latte. How many ordered each of the other three coffees?

I don't do algebra. Add, subtract, multiplication.
Tom did you ban everyone else?
Y2Kvert4me
02-17-2013, 5:32pm
I banned no one.
Americano 39
Latte 36
Expresso 15
Cappuccino 45
Americano = 33
Espresso = 9
Cappuccino = 3
Latte = 36
Besides, wwomanC6 spelled Espresso wrong.

Americano = 33
Espresso = 9
Cappuccino = 3
Latte = 36
Besides, wwomanC6 spelled Espresso wrong.
Her figures are correct. Cappuccino – 45, Espresso – 15 and Americano – 39.
You are correct about the spelling, though.

I contest the results. She spelled Espresso wrong.
You're allowed to do that. Fill out form B-22 in quadruplicate and sent it and 5 certified copies of your birth certificate (along with a $500 gift card from Lowes) to our offices in Thailand. Your response will be given the attention it deserves....

Darn, I forgot and missed the puzzle. I was watching the Ken Burns Jazz series on DVD, which my wife got me for Christmas.
And I knew all the answers this time, too.:dance::lol:

no one else born in April was wearing a red shirt that day. :shrug:
