Aust MS Gazette - Puzzle Corner 19

The Australian Mathematical Society Gazette’s Puzzle Corner is a bimonthly column
containing a handful of entertaining mathematical puzzles.  The puzzles cover a range of
difficulties, come from a variety of topics, and require a minimum of mathematical
prerequisites to be solved.  

You can find the Puzzle Corner, as well as the rest of the Gazette online at:

to solve any, be sure to send your solution to us.  In each Puzzle Corner, the reader
with the best submission will receive a book voucher to the value of $50, not to mention
fame, glory and unlimited bragging rights! Entries are judged on the following criteria,
in decreasing order of importance: accuracy, elegance, difficulty, and the number of
correct solutions submitted.
