Prizes are out, next one should be up tomorrow.

Same here. That was an easy one. Although the prizes are smaller, sometimes it's nice to have an easy one now and then.

Too easy for my taste. I don't mind something in the middle but at least make it so everybody can't solve it.

I want that av!

Solution for those who didn't get it (commas added for spacing):

x = Rukis (which stand on 4 feet) y = Yurbles (which stand on 2 feet)

x Rukis + y Yurbles = 141 combined

,4x + 2y = 350
-2x - 2y = -282 (multiply x + y = 141 by -2)
,2x ,,,,,,, = 68 (add the two equations)

x = 34 Rukis (divide both sides by 2)
34 + y = 141 (substitute for x into the first equation)
y = 107 Yurbles (subtract 34 from both sides)

That was too easy. The prize is so small

There was also another way to solve it. I used matrices.

y+r=141
2y+4r=350

translates into

[1 1]^-1[141]
[2 4].....[350]

and when you put that into a graphing calculator you get

[107]
[ 34 ]

The top one being yurbles and the bottom being rukis.

This week's:

Hmm, I don't know how to give a hint without giving it away. How about this: these letters spell out a question, and the answer to the conundrum is the answer to that question. The first words in the question are "who once."

57 letters -- I don't have a clue about how to approach this one, lol!
