Crossing themoat
YOU have discovered an old derelict house,
with a moat round it, which is still full of wa-
ter and about 5m across. Naturally, you want
to get to the house, but even if you could
take a run up and jump across the moat from
this side, you would not be able jump back.
However, you find two planks which, when
they are lowered across the moat, very nearly
reach to the opposite bank. You would like to
tie the planks together but you have nothing
with which to tie them securely. How can you
reach the derelict house by using the planks,
and without getting your feet wet or being in
danger of falling into the water?
Scared crows
THERE were 20 crows to start with. Each time
farmer Giles shot at them (ten) flew away, but
the same number soon returned.
