Caterpillar climbs flagpole riddle time
A caterpillar attempts a 40 foot ascent up a flagpole, climbing six feet per hour but slipping four feet on each one hour rest, so he returns to the ground after a full up and down cycle. The task asks how long the entire trip up and down would take.
Four weights add to two pounds eight ounces for measures
The weights listed are one ounce, three ounces, nine ounces, and twenty seven ounces totaling two pounds eight ounces and balance weight would measure from one to forty ounces. The report mentions Japan baseball players protesting a leather ban and Sir Abe Bailey receiving a decoration after leg amputations.
