TWO ARMCHAIR POSES.
In a representative cricket match three batsmen, A, B, and C, only scored ninety runs between them, A and B opening the innings and 0 going in at "first wiekot down." Now if A scored half as many runs as the other two, and A and G twice as many as B made himself, what were their individual scores'? 'In numbering the folios of a book of one hundred pages cau the reader say without going through tho tedious process of actually counting them, what is the total number of figures used, for example, in a book of twenty pages the I total would be 31.
Both these questions are quite simple, yet they may give the reader a few moments of thought, for he will, of course, not seek the help of pen or pencil in answering them.
