This one takes a bit of work.

Below are three squeezer puzzles. Can you find the correct word to be placed in the middle of each to create two new words, one front-end, one back-end? Here's an example of how it works:

ever GREEN horn

  1. store (5 spaces) keeper
  2. house (5 spaces) house
  3. water (5 spaces) blind

We'll give you one set of answers, but there may be alternatives.

I missed this one.

Here's a tricky sequence puzzle that requires looking at these numbers from a different perspective.

This one is not hard.

Here's a "double dip" on alphametics. Remember, no word can begin with zero.

RIGHT + RIGHT + RIGHT + RIGHT = ANSWER

Let A=1, E=9, and G=4.

WRONG + WRONG + WRONG + WRONG = ANSWER

Let O=8 and S=7.

This one is pretty easy too.

The average of 20 numbers is 40 and the average of 30 other numbers is 25.

What is the average of all 50 numbers?

This one did not take too long.

Alison and Amelia live 14 miles apart. Alison started to drive her car toward Amelia's house. At about the same time, Amelia started to drive towards Alison's house. When they met, Alison had been driving for three times as long as Amelia and at 3/5 of Amelia's rate. How many miles had Amelia driven when they met?
