And the Winner Is...

Congratulations to the Think Tank winners of the week:

Week 1 Question: A woman leaves home and makes three left turns and returns home again. On the way she passes two woman in masks. Who were the 2 women?

ANSWER: The Umpire and the Catcher

WINNERS: Aubrey K. Bela K. and Heather T.

Week 2 Question: A caterpillar crawls at a speed of 21cm per hour towards a vegetable patch. After eating its fill it returns, over exactly the same distance, at only 7cm per hour.
What is the caterpillar's average speed over the entire journey?

ANSWER: 10.5 cm/hr (speed is distance over time. If he travels 21cm to the vegetable patch then it will take him 1 hour to get there (at 21cm/hour) and 3 hours to get back (at 7cm/hour). He will have traveled 42cm (21 x 2) over 4 (1 + 3) hours so his average speed is 10.5cm/hour).

WINNER: Bayan H.
