This weeks: Eve's Enigma
After heaven, the earth, the grass , and all the animals were created, the snake, who was very smart, decided to make its own contribution.

It decided to lie every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. For the other days of the week, it told the truth.

"Eve, dear Eve, why don't you try an apple?" the snake suggested.

"But I am not allowed to!" said Eve.

"Oh, no!" said the snake. "You can eat it today since it is Saturday and God is resting."

"No, not today,"said Eve, "Maybe tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is Wednesday and it will be too late," insisted the snake.

This is how the snake tricked Eve.

What day of the week did this conversation take place?


Economical Progression

Below are four terms in a n arithmetic progression (a series in which the difference between terms is constant, in this case 50):

5, 55. 105, 155

Notice how the four terms use only three different digits: 0, 1, and 5.

Can you find six terms in an arithmetic progression that use only three different digits?
