Here is a little puzzle so fresh and curious that it will tempt the fancy of those who find it added to our hoard:
A third of six behind them fix,
A third of six before;
Thus make two nines, when all combines,
Exactly fifty-four.
34. ACROSS THE MOAT
Form a square with four matches. Outside this, at an equal distance all round, form another square with twelve matches, just so far away that the space between them cannot be spanned by a match. With two matches only, form a firm bridge from the outer to the inner square.
35. IS IT BANTING?
We start when the ninth hour is past,
Then there’s an end of you.
A vengeful goddess shows at last
What antifat will do.
