1. Tokyo James bought a used car for $600 and sold it to RichUK for $800. He later bought it back for $1000 and resold it for $1200. Did James make any profit and if so how much? Explain.
2. If two hours ago, it was as long after one o'clock in the afternoon as it was before one o'clock in the morning, what time would it be now?
3. In Duncan's cottage, where the temperature was below freezing, there was a newspaper, a fireplace, some kindling, and a kerosene lamp. What should he light first?
4. Vtecmom was sun bathing at a nude beach because she heard it was the best way to acquire an overall tan. Day after day she was out lying in the sun, yet couldn't manage the complete tan. What could she be doing wrong to prevent her from receiving the even tones she so desired?
5. There are seven coins which look identical. One of the seven coins weighs slightly less than the other six.
Using a balance scale, how could you determine which is the light coin in just two weighings?
6. Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track over a narrow bridge. One morning, a train speeds onto the bridge. Another train coming from the opposite direction, also speeds onto the bridge. Neither train can stop on the short bridge, yet there is no collision. How is this possible?
Good luck

1) Yes he did. He made $400. His total outlay was 600+1000=1600 and his total sales were 800+1200=2000. 2000-1600=400. Another way of looking at it is two separate sales each profiting $200. 2*200=$400
2) 2 hours ago it was 7pm. Now it's 9pm
3) A match.
4) (this one is hard because naked G is making it hard to concentrate) She should take her clothes off.
5) Weigh 2 and 2. If they are the same weigh one and one of the 3 remaining. If they are the same it's the last remaining.
If they are not the same compare the two on the light side. The lighter one is the light one.
If the 2 and 2 are NOT the same compare the two remaining and the lighter one is the light one.
6) They are going over the bridge at two different times in the morning.

3 & 3.
If they are the same, the 7th is the lighter one.
Otherwise, of the three in the lighter pile, weigh one against another,
If they are the same, the third is the lighter coin. Otherwise, it's the lighter of the two.
Though I guess mom did say, "in two weighings" rather than "in two weighings or less".
