Sorry folks - work called and asked me to do some.
A frog fell into a hole that was 14 1/2 feet deep. He could jump 3 feet, but he slid back a foot each time he jumped. How many jumps does it take him to get out of the hole?

Here's one...
At the recent inter-departmental jam making contest, four lucky candidates took part to make the juiciest strawberry jam. The ages of the contestants were 14, 17, 20 and 22. As it happens the person who came last was the oldest, whereas Stuart was three years older than the person who came second. James was neither the oldest nor the youngest and Kev finished ahead of the 17 year old, but didn't win. John was also unlucky this time and didn't win either. Can you determine who finished where and how old they are?
James who is twenty
Kev who is fourteen
Stuart who is seventeen
and John who is twenty-two

One morning as Paul was getting his newspaper, he noticed on his new house something that needed to be fixed.
Heading over to the hardware store, he spoke to the manager, describing his problem. The manager said, "I know just what you need". He led Paul down some aisles and stopped in front of some bins. Digging down into some of the bins, he set something up on the shelf.
"I saw your house when it was built", the manager said. "Here's all that you'll need and how much it'll cost...
five will be 15 cents
while fifty will be 30 cents
250 will be 45 cents
while 2507 will only cost you 60 cents.
One lady, about 20 blocks from your house, bought 30247 and only paid 75 cents! These are black, but they also come in gold and silver." What was the manager selling?0 -

A shop sells apples at $1 each. Each of these apples are wrapped in a special wrapper. You can trade 3 of these wrappers for 1 apple.
If you have $15, how many apples can you get altogether?
Love this thread, but can't figure why this is not 20.....Can someone explan?0 -

The "free" apples have wrappers, too. That's what I missed.0
