Bank holiday weekend over, time for 4 puzzles...


1> You're trying to stick to your budget for your big buffet. You look at some fruit and find that six pounds of apples and seven pounds of pears will cost $20, whereas seven pounds of apples and six pounds of pears will cost only $19.

How much are apples per pound?

2>
Find a word that means "to scour," then change one letter to find a word for a bush.

Find a word that means "dark despair," then change one letter to find a word for a new husband

3>
Solve this 8 letter anagram: GGILNOSS

4>
A famous childhood rhyme has been put into very fancy language below. Can you put it back into everyday english?

A young girl with a very common name possessed a rather uncommon pet with a distinctly unpigmented skin covering. This pet followed her on all occasions.

Stuck my head in while checking the board randomly . . .

For the first, a = 1, p = 2.

EDIT: D'oh, apply it to real terms: Price of apples is $1, price of pears is $2.

For the fourth,

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went that lamb was sure to go.

For the second:

(A) Scrub -> shrub. That actually threw me because scrub itself can be used for bush. >_>

(B) Gloom -> groom.

For the third: 'glossing'.  And that's the lot. ;P
