ALPHA BETA
50. There are two English words which contain each of them ten letters, and six of these are a, b, c, d, e, f, the first six letters of the alphabet. Can you build up either or both of them without looking at the solution?
SHIFTING NUMBERS
51.
Of a band of true kinsmen I stand at the head,
Who, to keep themselves warm, cluster three in a bed.
Put four into gaol and their number has risen,
So that six can be counted together in prison.
Take the six and recount them, they dwindle to three;
Count again, and a change into five you will see.
With no number from one to one hundred I mix,
Yet with five of my mates I am seen to make six.
