The Marksman

A marksman fires a rifle pointed horizontally (0 degrees vertical). The velocity of the bullet is 1000 ft/sec. Ignore air friction. The distance between the rifle and the ground is 3 feet. How far does the bullet travel before hitting the ground. (Hint: the marksman is on earth and not the moon).

Working Together

OK, here is another type of puzzle.
It takes Joe 4 hours complete a job. It takes John 6 hours to perform the same task while Bob can do it is 5 hours and Carl takes only 3 hours. How long will it take to complete the job is they all work together.

Bob, Jane, and Tom

OK, here is the last of this type of puzzle.
Bob is twice Jane's age
Jane is half Tom's age
Tom is 3 years older than Jane.
What are their ages?

Coffee, Beans and other Things.

Here is a new puzzle,
Joe buys 1 lb of coffee, 2 lbs of beans, and 1 lb of butter for a total of $6.99.
Paul buys 2 lbs of coffee, 1 lb of beans, and 1 lb of butter for $10.32.
Mark buys 2 lbs of coffer, 3 lbs of beans, and 1 lb of butter for $11.46.
What is the cost per lb of coffee, beans, and butter.
Hopefully this is a little harder that the 12 year old child.

New Puzzle!!

"In two years I will be twice as old as I was 5 years ago. How old am I?"
This should be relatively easy.
