MOTOR CASUALTIES.

"Ashburton" has sent along a hovel query concerning- some acquaintances who have been involved in motor accidents during the past twelve months. "Four ' broke their left legs," he says, "and five managed to get their right legs similarly injured." He then continues not quite so explicitly, for ho adds, "two now have each a right leg sound and three rjosscss sound left, legs," concluding his letter by asking "How many persons were involved?" Well, the number could be fourteen, and it could be fewer, so the problem as it stands is unsatisfactory. Still an interesting "nut" can be made- of it, and as this is probably what "Ashburton" had in mind when sending thoso particulars, I will ask the reader what is tho fewest number of persons that could bo "involved,", assuming that all of them met with accidents, and what legs were injured? Thcro can only be one correct answer, though the same number would apply in other ways, for example, those with "sound legs" as mentioned in this curious query, may not have received an injury, though they could have been "involved" in a motor accident with others less fortunate.
