I was shopping at a market in Zimbawe and asked a local how much a mango was. He said that a Mango and a banana together cost Z$200.

He then further confused me by saying that a papaya and a banana cost Z$300 and that all three were different prices.

Based on this rather unhelpful information, which one of the following can be confirmed?

• A mango costs more than a banana.

• A banana costs more than a Papaya

• A papaya costs more than a 100 Z$.

• A mango (orange) costs less than a Z$ 100

Charlie commutes from Gardentown to Workton for work. He makes the journey every day Monday to Friday, and also has to go to work every third Saturday. He never goes to Workton on Sundays, and nor does he ever go apart from going to work. If Charlie buys the tickets that keep his travel costs as low as possible, how much will this cost him for a three-week period?

2 Stanley and Walter are two old friends who have recently discovered the art of texting. They can’t cope with text language, but, when communicating with each other, they use a code that they invented many years ago. The code is a substitution code with a twist. When a particular letter appears for the first time in a message it is encoded as the next letter in the alphabet (A becomes B, Z becomes A). On each subsequent appearance it becomes the next letter again (A becomes C, Z becomes B). For example: ARE YOU AT HOME TODAY? encodes as BSF ZPV CU IQNG VREDA? Stanley is about to text Walter with the following message.

THE CONCERT TONIGHT STARTS AT HALF PAST SEVEN How will Stanley encode the word SEVEN?
