Bruin TwizzIers
BY PROF. ]. d. FLINT.

A big city bus company needed
some new buses. Three qualities
were to be considered, speed, pas
senger capacity and cost. The best
all-around bus was to be purchased
and If, for example, one bus was
twice as fast as the others and other
things equal, 1t would be purchased.
Here are the results of the tests that
were made: l. Whipper travels 500
feet while Streamliner travels 200;
Standard travels 400 while Whipper
travels 800. g. One Whipper costs
as much as Standards and 3
Standards cost the same as 5
6treamliners. 3. One Streamliner
carries the same number of passen-
gers as 4 Standards and one Whip
per carries the same number as 8
Streamliners. What was the order
of ranking of the three buses?
