JUNIOR, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY FILLTHEBOXES Pujre Seven 7, 1929. - LONG STRAIGHT LINES c V- d Mr. Frog is holding a on which are written eight letters, all different, and in the other hand he has a pattern of sixteen boxes. Now he presents his puzzle. Can you put two of the eight letters into each of the boxes so that the same letter never appears twice on the same row across or down? j ' After you have accomplished that, you might try this ones Place two of the eight letters into each of the boxes so that the same letter never appears twice on the same row across, dowif or on the two long diagonals. This should prove a little harder than the first. Umwct m Fm) lily-pa- A . B The constructor has devised this maze with the deliberate intention of leading your eye astray by its overabundance of long vertical lines and lack of horizontal ones. The problem is to start at A and thread your way to B without crossing a line. The maze may also be played as a game, one player starring at A and the other at B. They move alternately, each move being made to a branching place, where the player has a choice of paths. Here he stops and his opponent takes a turn. This continues until they meet, the one who is nearer his objective winning, since he has obviously made the largest number of correct moves. When a move ends in a blind alley, the player goes back to its opening and loses the move. AN AUTOISTS PUZZLE FIVES ONLY When little Willie, the child prodigy, took his first ride in bn automobile, he was immediately struck with the speedometer. "Look, Dad! he suddenly cried. And then all in onei breath, "There are ten figures on the speedometer and each one of them appears only once and the trip mileage multiplied by our present speed will tell us how far this car has gone since. we got it, while the sum of the first digits of the two mileage numbers tells how fast were going!" Dad stepped on the brakes, but it was too late. The instrument had already clicked another mile, and Willies calculation wouldnt work. Can you fill the ten spaces on the speedometer to conform with Willies conditions Paul Carlson, to whom we are indebted for this excellent little puzzle, assures us that there is only one solution. This long division problem, the work of Harry Hutchins, is full of interesting clues. The boxes represent the outline of the long division ; each one of them is to be tilled with a number. All the fives that appear throughout are shown, and the ten figures of the divisor and quotient are the ten digits, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0. Thus to start with you have two negative dues: one the imfive, possibility of any number other than the ones shown being uand the impossibility of a number appearing twice in - J:- -: or quotient. There is an additional clue in the third mulriplical figures are carried down from die dividend. Ergo, number of the quotient must be aero. The last number of the tint multiplicaton must also be aero, since all multiples of five, the last number of the divisor, end in zero or five. That fixes the first figure of die quotient as an even number. rn Ttar) (Am m:carthys married life' By SAM LOYD "How long have we been married?" inquired McCarthy.
