Answer this question ==Question six== (4 points)

Now,let's unrelate it completely :)

The Three Little Pigs have already been in their brick house for months! Now they must adventure in the woods to get their food supply. Unfortunately for them, the Big Bad Wolf's son is lurking around. They finally decide that the Practical Pig, the smartest one, should go. He is, indeed, very smart, and can detect the wolf 100 meters away from his location. Considering that the wolf is twice as fast as the pig, can detect the pig at the same 100 meters and that the pig is safe if he arrives at the same time as the wolf, how many meters can he be away from his house ensuring that he is safe from any attacks?

Not again!!

You are a truth-teller (someone that only tells the truth) and you go to see your king. In your country there are three kinds of people: the truth-tellers, the liars and the random (some lies, some truths). You want to marry the king's daughter, but the king wants someone that is trustworthy. He doesn't trust the random ones at all. In one sentence, can you convince him that you are not a random? Better still, can you convince him that you are a truth-teller?

Finally!

Two merchants were selling oranges. The first was selling them at 1 dollar for 3 oranges and the second at 1 dollar for 2 oranges. They had to hurry on to a meeting and didn't want to lose all of the 30 oranges they hadn't sold earlier, so them both gave them to a friend of theirs to finish the job they had started earlier. The friend, that didn't want to bother with two prices, decided to put the oranges for sale at five oranges for two dollars. When both merchants came back, they asked for their money. The first one wanted 10 dollars and the second one, 15 dollars. However, their friend only got 24 dollars and couldn't pay them. Where is the missing dollar?
