Coffee Strike
Workers at a Nova City Coffee franchise have gone on strike. Coffee A Goo-Go is a business that hand makes the coffee without use of electronic devices. The owner has stated before that coffee made this way just tastes better to them. It must taste better to others as well as they have several stores in Nova City.
But the workers say they are underpaid for the amount of effort they put into their job. That and their employer is overly strict with how they want their workers to conduct themselves. This coupled with a bunch of smaller issues has lead to the workforce for the business going on strike until conditions improve. If you frequented this coffee shop, you’ll have to get your coffee elsewhere until the situation is resolved!
Firm Ablaze
A lawfirm in Genessia City burnt to the ground over the weekend. Reports state that the fire started in the middle of the night and before emergency services could arrive, the fire had spread to the entire building. While the fire ended up contained, everything inside of the building was destroyed. Fortunately, there was no one inside of the building when it caught fire, everyone having gone home for the day.
The owner of the law firm has stated that they are happy no one had been injured in the fire. But there was a lot of case notes and information that was lost in it that is otherwise irreplaceable. But they also said this isn’t the first time they’ve been in a tough spot, so they’ll manage.
The Puzzle Corner is a new section in the paper that gives its readers a chance to win prizes. There will be puzzles, brainteasers or the like listed below. Answering one will net you a prize. Only one puzzle can be solved per reader. (
One claim per player every 3 days.
)1.) A numismatist decides to divide his coin collection between his children.
The eldest gets 1/2 of the collection, the next gets 1/4, the next gets 1/5, and the youngest gets the remaining 49 coins.
How many coins are in the collection?
Prize: A Coin Counting Machine
2.) Can you find a word starting with BR, that with the addition of the letter E becomes another word that sounds the same as the first?
Prize: Wrestler action figures.
3.) A local fisherman caught a large trawler load of haddock.
He decided to donate some of his fish to the local community, 1,672 people in all.
To each person over 50 he gave 16 fish and to each person under 50 he gave 96 fish.
Only 3/4 of the over 50s collected their haddock and only 1/8 of the under 50s collected their fish.
How many fish did the fisherman distribute it total?
Prize: A free safe.

Prize: A Cookie Gift Basket.
6.) I recently gave a new carriage clock to my friend for their birthday.
However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it loses 6 minutes every hour.
I set it using my own accurate clock at midnight and the clock now shows 10.12am.
I know that it stopped 2 hours ago, so what is the correct time now?
Prize: A grandfather clock.

Re: Bounty Claims!
Who: Neil Blair
Unlogged Bounty Summary: Upon picking up the bounty, Neil asks to examine one of the victims of this aggressive flu. He makes an attempt to ease the victim's fever some while using his powers to assess the magical skill of the person he's bringing in. Catching some dark hints of corrupt earth magic, Neil begins his tracking efforts in the woods, where he picks up a trail. The culprit, a warlock with a grudge against one of the victims and no regard for the innocents caught in the crossfire, is making camp several miles away from the scene of his crime. A scuffle ensues, and an ill-advised attempt to use a fire ball against Neil, a fire mage himself, ends in the warlock being apprehended with minimal injury to Neil or his quarry. He personally oversees the warlock's efforts to dispell his magic in the presence of every single afflicted individual before he turns the man in for his reward.
Additional Information: There's some question as to the black eye the warlock came in with, as he didn't have it before he was officially turned in. Neil's claim is that the man fell, unable to protect himself as his hands were bound. As of this moment, his claim remains uncontested.
