This Week's Puzzler

The Two Wheel Rotation

Hey, you know what it's time for? It's time for a puzzler.

This is a puzzle that I've had for a long time and I've never used it.  

A motorcyclist goes into his friendly motorcycle repair shop. And he asked the fellow who works there to give him a tune-up and to change the oil. The fellow looks at the bike and says okay, "I can manage to do that." And then the mechanic says, "Would you like me to rotate your tires?" And the motorcyclist bursts into laughter.

The question is, is the mechanic right or is he trying to pull a fast one on the guy?

Does it make sense to rotate your motorcycle tires? You can presume there was no sidecar involved!

Remember last week's puzzler?

Circus Math


It's time for this week's puzzler! Now this one is mathematical.

I'll try to state it as succinctly as Mildred Stanger did. She's the one who submitted this puzzle.

Okay, here we are. 100 people attend a circus. The total admissions come to exactly $100.

Got that? 100 people altogether paid $100. Right now if they paid a buck apiece, that would be approximately 100 people for $100.

But, that would be too easy. Right? The admission charges are thus:

Oh and get a pencil now because you may not remember the details of this puzzler and a lot is at stake here. You might want to write this down.

The charges are $5 per man, $2 per woman, and 10 cents per child. That's one thin dime for any kid.

What was the number of men, women, and children who attended?

Now, this may sound simple, but you will soon find out that you have written down three equations and you have three unknowns.
