I need content. Anything dealing with puzzles. Public domain style word problems or logic problems... I'll be posting my muse soon. If you can point me to a source or two, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and enjoy the puzzle.

Here is one example of what I need:
There are two travelers, one with 5 pieces of bread, the other with 3 pieces of bread. These travelers meet another traveler that asks them to share their next meal with him. The two travelers agree and divide the bread among the three.

After the meal, the 3rd traveler gives 8 gold pieces for the bread and the 1st traveler takes 5 pieces for his 5 pieces of bread, leaving 3 pieces for the 2nd traveler. The 2nd traveler complains that he should be paid half, and the first two travelers argue and argue but finally take their arguement to a judge who listens to the story and awards the 1st traveler 7 pieces of gold, and 1 piece of gold to the 2nd traveler... why?

Each traveler with 2 and 2/3 pieces of bread (8 pieces of bread split three ways). Second traveler (three pieces of bread) gave 1/3 pieces of bread to the third traveler. First traveler gave 2 and 1/3 or 7/3 pieces of bread to the third traveler. The first traveler gave seven times as much, and should get seven gold, with one gold going to the second traveler ;)
