   The Recent problems from James Dow Allen reminded me of this paperback i   
   have...   
   which is full of the hardest problems...   
      
      
   The author of the book seems to be the [Marilyn vos Savant]  of the UK   
      
      
   (if i was older and lived in the UK, i'd be better at them)   
      
      
             For most of the problems, I look at the answer,   
                      and I still have no clue....

   Where might you find an English soup of very little worth ?   
      
      
   How are Peter, Owen, Billy and Albert related to a chimney sweep ?   
      
      
   A pelican was admitted in 1812, a badger in 1848, and a beaver in   
   1859. To what ?   
      
      
   Which men of straw gave their name to an Italian opera ?   
      
      
    Whose arms have three legs ?   
      
      
    The one in Messina is a storm in a teacup, while the one in Vienna   
   promises like for like. What are they ?
