Math Puzzle
Answer: The total consumption of meat for a month of 30 days is 46¼ kilos. The zoo authorities would have to make an allocation of $3237.50 for this purpose.
The total consumption of meat of 4 lions is 35 kilos in 10 days.
So 4 lions consume 35/10 kilos per day.
Or 1 lion consumes 35/40 kilos per day.
Similarly 4 cheetahs consume 40 kilos of meat in 15 days.
So 4 cheetahs consume 40/15 kilos per day or 1 cheetah consumes 40/60 kilos per day.
So total consumption by the animals in one day = 35/40 + 40/60 =185/120 or 37/24.
So consumption in 30 days = 37/24 * 30 = 185/4 or 46 ¼ kilos.

Answer: Ben is the averge player; Mike is the champ; Ron and Bill are the newbies.
From statement 4, Ben was either the champ or the average player.He was not one of the newbies. Fro statement 2, if Ron were either the champ or the average player, Ben was one of the newbies.Therefore, since we know Ben was not one of the newbies, Ron was one of the newbies.
From statement 3, if Bill was the average player, Ron was the champion. Since we know that Ron was one of the newbies, Bill was not the average player. From statement 5, if Bill were not one of the newbies, Mike was the champ. Therefore, Bill was not the champ. Therefore, Bill was one of the newbies.
From statement 1, if Mike were not one of the newbies, Ben was the average player. Since we know that Mike was not one of the newbies, Ben was the average player, and Mike was the champ. (Even though the hypothesis in statement 5 was invalid, this does not preclude Mike from being the champ.)
