I can’t believe that we are into a week of puzzle solving already. I hope you are having fun. Here is today’s puzzle…..
Yesterday I went fishing. I caught a fish that had a length of 30 inches plus half its own length.
How long was the fish?
Yesterday I posted this puzzle….
My friend Albert is trying to open a safe. The following numbers are on the safe door….
77 – 49 – 36 – xx
…the next number in the sequence will open the safe.
What number should Albert use to get inside the safe?
If you haven’t tried to solve it, have a go now. For everyone else, the answer is below….
The sequence involves multiplying the two numbers together to get the next number….
7×7 =49
4×9= 36
… and so the number that Albert was after was 3×6=18

The length of teh fish was 60 inches.
Richard. You need to remind people NOT to post the answer……..
Also. I saw this posted yesterday and solved it yesterday. How did that happen? I’m not psychic!

Richard needs to not be posting old questions. We did this one a few days ago! I think he’s getting muddled.
Using the first digits of each:
7+7=14 so the next digit is 4
4+9=13 so the next digit is 3
3+6=9 so the next digit is 9*
Using the second digits:
7+9=16 so the digit is 6
9+6=15 so the digit is 5*
Hence the last number is 95*
Ok, ok, you’re answer is better 😉
