A dress store owner ordered a shipment of evening gowns for his shop. When
they
arrived, the poor man found there had been a mistake. Half the garments
were
coats, 20 percent were children's sizes and 24 of the garments were both
coats
and in sizes for children. There were only 99 of the evening dresses he
had
ordered. How many had he ordered initially?

I can solve the puzzle. Can you?

A man is walking and on his way to Bristol. He comes to a fork in the road
where two brothers are standing. He is uncertain which path to take to reach
Bristol, and needs help from one of them. The walking man has heard of these
brothers, and knows that one always tells the truth, and the other always
lies. The walking man is allowed to ask one question and one question only.
He can direct the question to only one of the brothers, but he does not know
which is the liar and which is always truthful. What question does he ask?
