The Wedding Anniversary
Recenty 1 attended the twelfth wedding anniversary
celebrations of my good friends Mohini and Jayant.
Beaming with pride Jayant looked at his wife and
commented, ‘At the time when we got married Mohini
was 3/ath of my age, but now she is only 5/eth’
We began to wonder how old the couple must
have been at the time of their marriage!
Can you figure it out?

I'll Get it for You Wholesale...
A wholesale merchant came to me one day and
posed this problem. Every day in his business he had
to weigh amounts from one pound to one hundred
and twenty-one pounds, to the nearest pound. To do
this, what is the minimum number of weights he needs
and how heavy should each weight be?
