Puzzle of the Week #4

SOS! Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that’s going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance of survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. To make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man eating sharks, so swimming to safety is out of the question. A round trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land?

Puzzle of the Week #2

Alfred and Roland have been hired by a farm to sow flower seeds. They’ve been assigned a 10-acre plot of land and split it in half so they can work independently. Roland starts from the east and Alfred from the west. Alfred can plow the land at a rate of 20 minutes per acre. Roland takes 40 minutes to plow, but sows seeds at three times the speed Alfred does. If sowing seeds on the 10-acre plot pays $100, how much of that money should go to Roland?
