COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD | THE COLONY NEWS | JANUARY 2021 | 19 By Carol Swanke Here's a new column designed to keep your brain busy, especially during these days when there isn't a whole lot else you can do. Get a pencil and paper and figure out the answers. If you enjoy the challenge of brain teasers, please let me know what type of puzzles you prefer – logic (below), crossword, Sudoku, etc. Answers on page 25 #1 Ruby and Lewis are expecting triplets! They already know what they will name their children, but they aren't sharing the names until the babies are born. For now, all they'll say is this: • All three babies are boys. • Their names are six letters long and anagrams of one another. • Their names include both their parents' initials, but none of the other letters in their parents' first names. What will Ruby and Lewis name their triplets? #2 Mary Ann is shopping for her big weekend barbecue. Her budget is $100. It costs $4 for a package of ten hot dogs and $3 for a package of eight buns. How many packages of each should she buy to maximize how many hot dogs she can serve? (Hint: She can have extra of either, but she won't serve a hot dog without a bun.) #3 George, William, John, Abe, and Millard have their birthdays on consecutive days. This year, all their birthdays fall between Monday and Friday: • George's birthday is as many days before Millard's as William's is after Abe's. • John is two days older than Abe. • Millard's birthday is on Thursday. Can you figure out whose birthday is on each weekday?
