Amogh, a regular commuter, arrives at the train station at five o'clock every evening, where his wife meets him and drives him home. One day, Amogh takes an earlier train and arrives at the station at four. Instead of calling his wife, he decides to walk home along the route his wife usually takes. They meet somewhere along the way and they drive home, arriving 10 minutes earlier than usual. Let us say that the wife drives at a constant speed and always leaves just in time to meet the five o;clock train, how long did Amogh walk before his wife picked him up?

If they arrive 10 minutes earlier, that means he was picked up 5 minutes (car time) from the station - or 4,55,
Since he arrived at 4, he walked for 55 minutes.

At a train station in Sydney, Australia, an intelligent rich man was awaiting his upper class rail transport. He was sorting through his wallet and pulled out credit cards, receipts, and $200 in cash.

An egotistical scam artist (and a talented one at that) approached the man and said to him, "I'll bet you, on all the money in your wallet, that I can get a packet of chips out of that snack machine without inserting any money!"

The rich man, who was intrigued by this 'talent', readily agreed.

The scam artist walked over to the snack dispenser, stuck his hand up through the compartments, and a chip packet fell out.

The rich man was amazed, but being a faithful businessman, stuck to his word, yet the scam artist walked off without a penny.
