Chris Maslanka's listeners puzzle
- On the Puzzle Panel Safari there were four of us, me and this
week's panel. As the presenter, I get to carry only one crate.
No-one carried four crates. There were nine crates being carried in
all and they weighed 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 and 99kg
respectively.
Johnny, being the vigorous sort, carried 3 times the weight that
Victor carried. Angela carried twice the weight that Johnny carried.
Who carried which crates?
