Today's Brain Teaser
Lost City of Kebabylon
From Braingle.com (courtesy of Mad Ade)

Once again, Madadia's insipid explorer, Wigan Smith is on the trail of lost treasure. He has come across a map showing that somewhere in the middle of the Chillivalley desert, there is the lost city of "Kebabylon". To reach it, he will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person who goes on the journey can only carry enough rations for one person for five days and the farthest Wigan Smith and his group can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, "Kebabylon" is 120 miles from the starting point.

What Wigan Smith is trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including himself, that he will need in his group so that he can reach the "Kebabylon", stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies.

How many persons (including himself) will Wigan Smith need to accomplish this mission?

Bear in mind that Wigan Smith has no moral character when it comes to money and wealth.

Black to Play and Mate in Four

This is our second entry in our ego building puzzle week. The first thing you should recognize is the weakness along the diagonal h1-a8 White has created by playing his pawn to g3. Black now can mate White with an imaginative first move that shows just how bad that weakness is. This is a challenge, but the knowledge that there is a mate here should be a help.
