Welcome to Title Builder Beta.

This small piece of kit is designed to make building your Quiz, Crossword or Puzzle question more effective. It should make finding your question easier for others and, the easier it is to find, the more likely someone is to answer it!

To build an easy to find question title simply select the paper and quiz, enter the quiz number if relevant and fill in the Publication Date. Once you’re happy click “Build Title” and the information should populate the Title field. Fill in the final required details of your question as you normally would, and click submit.

Can anyone explain what is meant here please?

"Suppose the numbers of spiders and flies make the total number of legs equal to 144, and suppose that if the number of flies were changed to the number of spiders, without changing the total number of legs, then the
number of spiders would have to change to the number of flies plus one."
(no legs missing; 6 per fly and 8 per spider)
Find the numbers of flies and spiders.

There are only 5 possibilities where the legs total 144, 3s+20f; 6s+16f; 9s+12f; 12s+8f; 15s+4f
