As you know, one way to tell an insect from a
spider is to count its legs.
All insects have six legs, and all spiders have
eight legs.
So if some insects and spiders went to a
dance, and there were 48 dancing legs, how
many insects and how many spiders were at
the dance?

My cousin is moving to a new house. She has a dog, a
cat, and a pet mouse, but the animals don't get along in
the car, so she can take only one at a time.
Also, she can't leave the dog alone with the cat, because
the dog chases the cat if no one is watching. And she
can't leave the cat and the mouse together,
because...well, you know what would happen if she did.
How can my cousin get all three of their pets to their new
house?

My cousin bought a fishing pole that is 2 metres
5 centimetres long. As he got on the bus, the bus
driver tells him that he can't take anything on the
bus longer than 2 metres. My cousin went back
to the shop and bought something else, and the
bus driver allows him on the bus.
What did he buy, and what did he do with it?
