Question 1

In a certain code, 'red pen ink' means '3 6 9' and 'ink blue sky' means '9 1 5'. What is the code for 'ink'?

'ink' is the common word in both phrases and '9' is the common code, so ink = 9.

Question 2

If the 15th of a month falls on Wednesday, what day is the 28th of the same month?

Accepted Answer

Wednesday
