ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE.
BRIDES AND GROOMS.
In the problem of the brides and grooms, we were told that the three girls weighed 396 pounds, Nellid weighing 10 pounds more than Kitty and Minnie 10 pounds more than Nellie. Therefore Kitty must have weighed 122, Nellie 132, and Minnie 142- Stan. Brown weighed the same as his bride; Jack Williams half again as much as his bride, and Reg. Robinson twice as much as his bride. The brides and grooms collectively weighed 1000 pounds. Under the conditions Brown must have weighed 122 pounds, and bestowed his name upon Miss Kitty. Williams, as the husband of Nellie, must have weighed 19S. Robinson at 28-t pounds qualified as the husband of Minnie.
