Tug of WarThe young farm animals have been playing
tug of war. With 3 piglets on one side and 2 kids (young goats) on the other side, the game ended in a tie. Similarly, with 3 calves on one side and 4 kids on the other side, the game ended in a tie. Which side, if either, will win if one side has 5 piglets and the other side has 2 calves?
Tug of WarAnswer
The 5 piglets will win. If there were only 4 piglets on one side and 2 calves on the other side, it would be a tie. Here's one way to solve the puzzle. The puzzle tells you the following:2 kids = 3 piglets 3 calves = 4 kids Those facts mean the following are also true:4 kids equal 6 piglets 3 calves equal 6 piglets Therefore, 1 calf = 2 piglets. It follows that 2 calves = 4 piglets. If 2 calves and 4 piglets would tie, then 5 piglets would beat 2 calves.

(24 legs). No other combination will work.

Four insects (24 legs) and three spiders (24 legs). No other combination will work.

Moving Day
The Masters family is moving to a new house. They have a dog, a cat, and a pet mouse, but the animals don't get along in the car, so they can take only one at a time. Then there are other problems. They can't leave the dog alone with the cat, because the dog chases the cat if no one is watching. And they can't leave the cat and the mouse together, because...well, you know what would happen if they did. How can the Masters family get all three of their pets to their new house?
Moving DayAnswer
They take the cat to the new house, leaving the dog and the mouse at the old house. They return to the old house and take the mouse to the new house. They take the cat back to the old house, leave it there, and take the dog to the new house. Then they return to the old house for the cat.
