Answers:
 

01. "48 mph".
Explanation:
Say the journey takes 120 miles.
The first half of the journey (60 miles) takes 60÷40 = 1.5 hours, the second half takes 60/60 = 1.0 hour. So, the journey of 120 miles takes 1.5 + 1.0 = 2.5 hours and therefore, the average speed is 120÷2.5 = 48 mph.

02. "17".
Explanation:
Add the number of items together, which gives 83 + 77 + 62 + 95 = 317 among 100 women.
This gives three items to each and four items to 17 of these women.
The least number of women to have all three items is, therefore, 17.

Let go of Your Stresses

A Psychologist walked around a room while teaching Stress Management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this Glass of Water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm.
If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.

In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “the Stresses and Worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
