Mr. Wagle goes to work by a bus. One day he falls asleep
when the bus still has twice as far to go as it has already
gone.
Halfway through the trip he wakes up as the bus bounces over
some bad potholes. When he finally falls asleep again, the
bus still has half the distance to go that it has already
travelled. Fortunately, Mr. Wagle wakes up at the end of his
trip.
What portion of the total trip did Mr. Wagle sleep?

Mr. wagle slept through half his trip.
Let's draw a timeline. Picture the bus route on a line
showen below:
---------------- ________ -------- ________________
Start 1/3 1/2 2/3 End
----- shows time for which Mr. Wagle was not sleeping
_____ shows time for which Mr. Wagle was sleeping
When Mr. Wagle fell asleep the first time, the bus sill had
twice as far to go as it had already gone, that marks the
first third of his trip.
He wake up halfway through the trip i.e slept from 1/3 mark
to the 1/2 mark. He fell sleep again when the bus still had
half the distance to go that it had already traveled i.e 2/3
mark.
Adding up, all sleeping times,
= (1/2 - 1/3) + (1 - 2/3)
= 1/6 + 1/3
= 1/2
Hence, Mr. wagle slept through half his trip.

A man is going to an Antique Car auction. All purchases must be paid for in cash. He goes to the bank and draws out $25,000. Since the man does not want to be seen carrying that much money, he places it in 15 evelopes numbered 1 through 15. Each envelope contains the least number of bills possible of any available US currency (i.e. no two tens in place of a twenty). At the auction he makes a successful bid of $8322 for a car. He hands the auctioneer envelopes number(s) 2, 8, and 14. After opening the envelopes the auctioneer finds exactly the right amount. How many ones did the auctioneer find in the envelopes?

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
