Greetings.
I've found a treasure from my childhood, a book of puzzles. It's compiled by Gyles Brandreth so the title of this thread should probably be "Professor Brandreth" but shut up, I'm running this thread!
The book nears the age of 25, and is so old it actually contains some computer programs which it recommends you write into a Spectrum.
But, the puzzles! Until I get bored, I'm going to keep putting a new puzzle in this thread every time someone solves one. You get one point for every star that the puzzle is rated by the book in difficulty.
NO CHEATING. SHOW YOUR WORKING. Answers in spoiler tags, please. If you correctly guess the answer first but have not used spoiler tags, you will score minus one point for that question.
You may only answer one question correctly, and score points, in a row. For every one you get correct, you must skip the next one; or just solve for fun!
