Not sure what happened here. . . I’d saved this before I left for Florida and set it to post on WGW. I didn’t set it to NOT post the letters for #1. If you were able to solve this without the letters, call MENSA immediately.
1. In this puzzle, each letter represents a different number. Can you work out what number (0-9) each letter stands for? The leftmost letter can not be zero in any word.
2. Norma travels to work by car. Helen walks and Joan travels by train. Who travels to work by bicycle - Diana or Lucy and why?

4. If a camel is 5 years old, a giraffe is 6 years old and an elephant is 14 years old, how old is a gorilla?
5. Seven men keep a different number of pigeons. Keith has twice as many pigeons as Roger, who has a third as many as Jim, who has ten fewer than Frank, who has five times as many as Bernie, who has two more than Joe, who has half as many as George.
