Journal Chacham's Journal: Puzzle: Three miscellaneous and one sequence. 21
I have a book from 1956 with some puzzles in it. So, after scanning in a page, here's three. Nothing major. Plus, one more sequence.
- The Constitution of the United States specifies four requirements for becoming President. The candidate must be at least 35 years of age, must have been born in the United States, and must in this country for at least fourteen years. What is the fourth requirement?
- One tank is half full of gasoline and another is half full of alcohol. A spoonful of gasoline is taken from the first tank and mixed with the alcohol in the second tank. Then a spoonful of the mixture is taken from the second tank and mixed with the gasoline in the first tank. Now, how does the amount of gasoline missing from the first tank compare with the amount of alcohol missing from the second?
- You have an eight-gallon ban full of water and two with capacities of five and three gallons, respectively. How can you get exactly four gallons of the water into the five-gallon can?

Isn't that an amendment? Not part of the original consitution. Does that count?

2. This question isn't very well written, but those might just be typos on Chacham's part. Ethanol is frequently used as a gasoline octane enhancer, and we all know that's basically alcohol. Anyway, this problem says nothing about sizes of tanks, etc, but we do know that at the end, there is way more gasoline in the first tank than there is alcohol missing from th
