rickyrob Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Glenn and Jason each have a collection of cricket balls. Glenn said that if Jason gave him 6 of his balls they would have an equal number; but, if Glenn gave Jason 6 of his balls, Jason would have 4 times as many balls as Glenn. How many balls does Jason have? Don't say two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyrob Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 A frog is on an island in the middle of a lake. The mainland is 100m away. He jumps across the lake to get to the mainland, and each time he jumps, he travels exactly half the distance he is to the mainland. How many jumps does it take hime to get to the mainland?
