Suppose five bales of hay are weighed two at a time in all
possible ways. The weights in pounds are 110, 112, 113, 114,
115, 116, 117, 118, 120, and 121.

They weigh 54, 56, 58, 59, 62 pounds.
Let's assume that the weight of five bales are B1, B2, B3,
B4 and B5 pounds respectively. Also, B1 <= B2 <= B3 <= B4 <= B5
It is given that five bales of hay are weighed two at a time
in all possible ways. It means that each of the bale is
weighted four times.
Thus,
4*(B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 + B5) = (110 + 112 + 113 + 114 + 115 +
116 + 117 + 118 + 120 + 121)
4*(B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 + B5) = 1156
(B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 + B5) = 289 pounds
Now, B1 and B2 must add to 110 as they are the lightest one.
B1 + B2 = 110
Similarly, B4 and B5 must add to 121 as they are the
heaviest one.
B4 + B5 = 121
From above three equation, we get B3 = 58 pounds
Also, it is obvious that B1 and B3 will add to 112 - the
next possible higher value. Similarly, B3 and B5 will add to
120 - the next possible lower value.
B1 + B3 = 112
B3 + B5 = 120
Substituting B3 = 58, we get B1 = 54 and B5 = 62
From 2 & 3 equations, we get B2 = 56 and B4 = 59
Hence, the weight of five bales are 54, 56, 58, 59 and 62
pounds.

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following addition problem true. W H O S E T E E T H A R E + A S ------------------- S W O R D S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter H, no other letter can be 3 and all other H in the puzzle must be 3.

Four friends - Arjan, Bhuvan, Guran and Lakha were comparing the number of sheep that they owned. It was found that Guran had ten more sheep than Lakha. If Arjan gave one-third to Bhuvan, and Bhuvan gave a quarter of what he then held to Guran, who then passed on a fifth of his holding to Lakha, they would all have an equal number of sheep. How many sheep did each of them possess? Give the minimal possible answer
