This one is for the month of March, but the puzzle of the month is not about marching. It is about waddling and scuttling!
A penguin starts to waddle from a sand castle to the rocks on a beach at the same time as a crab starts to scuttle from the same rocks heading for the same sand castle. They pass each other at 11am and the penguin reaches the rocks at 1pm while the crab doesn’t arrive at the sand castle until 3:30pm.
What time did the waddling and scuttling begin?
This image shows the penguin and the crab looking in the same direction. Don't let it distract you! It has been included for a splash of colour only.
