Nov 2008      Worded problems.      Hi, I'm new to the forums
and not sure if this post is in the right forum.      I have in
total 10 questions that are absolutely doing my head in. If
anyone could help me out and show me how to work these out, it'd
be much appreciated.      1) In a class of 45 girls, all of whom
have chosen to study either history or psychology, or both, 40
are studying psychology and 25 are studying history. How many
are studying both?     A.12 B.20 C.22 D.14 E.8      2) A horse
breeder owns 25 horses. If there are twice as many black horses
as chestnuts, but the number of brown horses is one more than
black and chestnut horses together, how many black horses are
there?     A.8 B.12 C.9 D.6 E.10      3) A planes compass is
upset by a storm so that the needle which should point north now
points to the west. If the pilot flies south by his compass what
is his true direction?     A.North B.South-West C.East D.West
