Th# corrset solution of the Jones’
Egg Problem will be printed In Th*
Georgisn of Tuesday.
(Only the answer to the puzzle may
be published—not the analyst*.—Puz
zle Editor.)
Just as Jones was leaving his house
In Peachtree street yesterday, his wife
called after him: "Don’t forget to drop
In at the corner and order some eggs
sent up to the house right away. You
know, the Smiths arc coming over to
dinner this evening, and I've really got
to bake some cake. Every piece of
cake baked for Christmas has been
devoured."
"All right." answered Jones, and
mindful of his promise he stepped Into
the grocery.
"Hello," said Jenks, the grocer.
"Don’t, often see you. What can I do
far you this morning?"
“How much ore your best eggs?”
asked Jones.
“Well," said Jenks, ''two more than
I am now selling for twenty-four cents
would make them two cents per dosen
less than they now are.”
"All right." said Jones. "Send twen
ty-four cents worth over to the house
right away. My wife is waiting for
them.”
How many eggs did he buy? After
he reached the office he started to fig
ure it out. and before he got through
he was nearly crazy. Then he gave
the problem to his bookkeeper, who
also came to grief over It.
If you think you can solve It send the
answer to the Puzsle Editor of The
Georgian.
Jones bought 18 eggs for 24 cents.
This was at the rate of 18 cents per
dosen. Had the grocer sold two more
(that Is, 18) for 24 cents. It would make
cents per dozen less' then they were
really sold for. W. T. KELLY.
Monticello, On., Dec. 28.
Puszle Editor of The Georgian:
How many eggs did Jones buy? He
bought 16 eggs. His eggs were selling
at 18 cents per dozen: There is an
algebraic fnr • th* •xdmnlfl.
which will solve the problem. I en
close it on the back of this letter.

(Owing to space 'limitations, Mr.
Hunt’s analysis may not be given.—
Puzzle Ed.)
Puzzle Editor of The Georgian:
The answer to puzzle In The Geor
gtan Is: Jones bought 16 eggs for 24
cents. As proof of same the follow
ing: Sixteen eggs for 24 cents .would
be 1 1-2 cents each or 18 cents per
dozen. If Jenks had given him two
more eggs for 24 cents or 18 for 24
cents, the price would be 1 1-3 cents
each cr 18 cents per dozen, nnd 3 cent*
per dozen lezs thnn original price.

the rate of 18 cents per dozen.—Puzzle
Editor.)
Puzzle Editor of The Georglnn:
Replying to the question asked In
your Issuo of even date, page 9. "How
ipany eggs did Jones buy?" 1 offer the
following: He bought 16 eggs for
cents, or at the rate of 18 rente
dozen.
This number proves the problem, for
16 for 24 cents Is 1 1-2 cents a piece or
18 cents per dosen. Two more would
be 18 for 24 cents or 1 1.3 cents a
piece or 16c per dozen, 2c less than
former price. This Is evidently an old
problem, as no grocer in these pacts Is
selling eggs for 18 centk.
