    Question: At an entrance test for a business course, the students score 1 mark for every
    right answer and lose 1/4 mark for every wrong answer. If a question is left unanswered, no
    marks are scored or deducted. To gain admission, a student has to score 60 or above. A
    student X left some questions unanswered in the test. After the test he realised that to gain
    admission, not more than 20 of his answered questions should be wrong. He also realised
    that had he attempted the entire question paper and had a maximum of 28 questions
    wrong, he still would have got the admission. How many questions did he leave
    unanswered?

    Question: Three drunkards agreed to pool their vodka and decided to share it with the
    fourth drunkard (who had no vodka) at a price equal to 5 roubles a litre. The first drunkard
    contributed 1 litre more than the second and the second contributed 1 litre more than the
    third. Then, all four of them divided the vodka equally and drank it. The fourth drunkard
    paid money, which was divided in the ratio of each drunkard's contribution towards his
    portion. It was found that the first drunkard got twice as much money as the second. How
    much money did the second drunkard get (in roubles)?
