Detective Ixolite of the NYPD was investigating a murder at Chicago.
It was a difficult case, and Ixolite was completely stumped until he noticed a message sent to him by the killer cunningly hidden in a newspaper advertisement selling Car Licence Plates.
Detective Ixolite thought about it for a while, and when he had solved the puzzle, immediately arrested the guilty man.
Q1) How did Ixolite know the advert was a clue for him?
Q2) Solve the code and tell me who Ixolite arrested.

1)The first bit is easy, as the first letter of each plate spells WHODUNNIT IX(A challenge to our Detective.)
2)The second bit is a little trickier, but I gave you the solution.If you read the last three letters in each plate from the bottom up and right to left you get ADVANCE EACH LETTER BY THE NUMBER SHOWN, so advance W by 5 to get B, H by 13 to get U and so on until you spell BUTLER DID IT.

#1198 - Maths Time Puzzle
A large water tank has two inlet pipes (a large one and a small one) and one outlet pipe. It takes 3 hours to fill the tank with the large inlet pipe. On the other hand, it takes 6 hours to fill the tank with the small inlet pipe. The outlet pipe allows the full tank to be emptied in 9 hours.
What fraction of the tank (initially empty) will be filled in 0.64 hours if all three pipes are in operation? Give your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.25, 0.5, or 0.75).
In one hour,
Soln 1:
the large inlet pipe fills 1 / 3 of the tank;
the small inlet pipe fills 1 / 6 of the tank;
the outlet pipe empties 1 / 9 of the tank; and therefore
all three pipes together fill [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] of the tank.
Fraction of the tank that will be filled in 0.64 hours =
0.64 [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] = 0.25.
Soln 2:
Let V be the total volume of the tank. From equation (1),
Flow Rate (large inlet pipe) = V / 3
Flow Rate (small inlet pipe) = V / 6
Flow Rate (outlet pipe) = V / 9.
Substituting in equation (2),
Rate of Accumulation in tank = (V / 3) + (V / 6) − (V / 9).
Using the above result in equation (1),
Time required to fill the complete tank = V / [ (V / 3) + (V / 6) − (V / 9) ].
Note that V cancels out on simplifying the above expression.
Fraction of the tank that will be filled in 0.64 hours =
0.64 [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] = 0.25.
