The tires on Helen's new car 2010-06-08
From Rich:
Helen bought a new car with four tires and a full-size spare. If she rotated the tires so that each tire would have the same amount of wear, then how many miles were on each tire when her odometer showed 40,000 miles?

Who is lying? 2006-01-14
From Diane:
A business man was working in his home office when he realized he had left a five-dollar bill in the book he had been reading. He called his butler to bring him the book from the library. When he got the book, the bill was no longer there. He then questioned the maid and the butler. The maid remembered seeing the bill between pages 99 and 100 in a book to the left of a business book. The butler did not recall seeing the bill, but was sure the book was to the right of the business book, because to the left of it there was a statistics book. Who is lying?
