"1f any TEACHERS have been express

SAM LLOYD'S PUZZLE
8 Minutes to Digest This.
No 1Oi

The CAPTAIN of Dutch schooner
recently scudded into port with
hair raising tale OF his encounter
with a flock of undersea boats.
"They came up out OF the sea like
a school OF tin whales and their
eye, began to blink OF all quarters,
because it was in the middle OF the
night and cloudy" remarked the
eaptpain.
When asked Just how many there
were the doughty mSriner replied
well, | did not exactly count them
but ] arm willing to take an affidavit
that ! saw three without their star
hoard lights; three without larboard
lights; and three had stsrboard
lights, three had Arboard lights;
three had both starboard and lar
board lights. Then there were three
that had neither starboard nor lar
board lights"
Now you see according to the.
skipper's sworn statement there
might have been eighteen submarines,
However a phlegmatic cabin boy
who had both his starboard and lar
board eyes open was heard to re
mark that while the "old man" was
correct In his assertion, i, would be
better to salt down the figures to
the minimum of possibilities.
Now the .purrling proposition is;
What is the least number of subma-
rines that could have borne out the
captains story
Answer TO No. 200.
