GRANDMA’S CAKES

You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at Adeluville . It’s her birthday, and you made her cakes.

To get to her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and there is a cake monster under each bridge! Each cake monster, quite rightly, insists that you pay a cake monster toll. To cross, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are on the Quick Weight Loss program, they each give you back a single cake.

How many cakes did you leave home with if you arrive at Grandma’s with exactly 2 cakes?

The president was discussing some politics with the vice president and three of her cabinet members: the secretaries of state, education and treasury. Using the clues in the conversation below, determine which woman (One is named Norma) holds which position.
Paula said, “Ms. President, i don’t think the secretary of state knows what she is talking about. I think our foreign policy has really deteriorated lately.”

The secretary of state shook her head. So did the vice president.

The secretary of the treasury said, “I agree with Paula. We haven’t even talked to Japan lately.”

The vice president jumped in. “Will you two leave Inez alone? She is doing a fine job.”

Georgianne, who had been silent so far, finally said, “Okay, let’s get on to something else.”

The secretary of education said, “I’m sorry Inez. Nothing personal.”

Colleen said, “I’m sorry too Inez. I guess we got carried away. ”

Inez replied, ” That’s okay. I know we’ve all been under a lot of stress lately.”

Two men (Jack and Mike) and two women (Adele and Edna) each like a different type of music (one likes jazz). Their last names are Mullin, Hardaway, Richmond and Higgins. From the clues below, find each person’s full name and favorite type of music.

1. Hardaway hates country-western music.

2. The classical-music lover said she’d teach Higgins to play the piano.

3. Adele and Richmond knew the country-western fan in high school.

4. Jack and the man who likes rock music work in the same office building.
