In The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Radio Series, Fit the Seventh
- i.e. Christmas Special), an enormous Arcturan Megafreighter is en route
to Ursa Minor Beta carrying “a larger number of copies of PlayBeing
than the mind can comfortably conceive”.
The second-in-command complains that he's “had three buttons to
press in the past 500 light years, and that was just to put the coffee
machine onto manual!”
Assuming that the ship left Arcturus and made for Ursa Minor Beta in
a straight line without deviating from its course, what is wrong with
his statement?

An old school dictionary falls open. Between a foreboding of evil and
a proverbial thief I find an excuse, a victim, something that was there
all along* and a test of a person's conduct or character. I also find
four holy people, can you?
*OK Alan, it's an adjective, just grant me some artistic
licence.

Five men, all between 10 and 99 years old inclusive, were talking about
their ages:
Alf: Ed is 27.
Bob: I'm 81.
Carl: Bob is 61.
Dave:
(i) Alf is 57
(ii) What Carl says is false.
Ed:
(i) Bob is older than Alf
(ii) Dave is exactly 30 years younger than Carl.
All remarks made by anyone 50 or over are true, unless his age is a
perfect square, when they are false. All remarks made by anyone under
50 are false, unless his age is a perfect cube, when they are true.
Find all their ages.
