In the CWS eating challenge, A and B raced with 400 Canadian Wild Strawberries each, with A finishing first in 13.2 seconds. B then raced C, winning with 261 CWS, leaving C with 117 due to a toothache. Jack and John discuss A's subsequent race against C, with both having N CWS, and clues suggest N is in the 200 to 500 range. The solution reveals that the ratio of A's to C's consumption must be a multiple of 25, leading to 13 possible values for N. Ultimately, the unique solution for N is determined to be 250.

Jack, John and CWS's
==============
Canadian Wild Strawberries (CWS) are tiny but tasty.
A and B each have a jar containing 400 CWS; they decide
to have a CWS eating race; A wins, swallowing his last
CWS when B still has 23 left. Took A 13.2 seconds; burp!
Next, B takes on C, each with a jar containing 261 CWS;
B wins, C left with 117 CWS (C has a bad toothache).
Jack: well, John, A took on C next
John: you ya I'm sure he did
Jack: each had a jar containing N CWS's
John: oh boy
Jack: want to try figure out what N is?
John: not really
Jack: here's a hint: in the 200 to 500 range, and they
both swallowed at same speed as in their 1st race
John: oh ya? (comes back with a printout)
Jack: A beat C by an integral amount
John: ya; I figured as much; need another clue
Jack: the sum of digits of the number of CWS that C had left
when A finished is equal to this number here
...and John knew.
What is the value of N?

Before I forget/lose my solution:

SOLUTION
Result of A:B and B:C races means A:C = 400:208.
So, for all to be integral, jars must contain a
multiple of 25, since 25:13 is lowest.
There are 13 such possibilities in the 200-500 range:
Code:
            A ate   C ate   A-C  SUMDIGITS
             200     104     96     15
             225     117    108      9
             250     130    120      3*
             275     143    132      6
             300     156    144      9
             325     169    156     12
             350     182    168     15
             375     195    180      9
             400     208    192     12
             425     221    204      6
             450     234    216      9
             475     247    228     12
             500     260    240      6
Only 3 is unique as sum of digits of the differences.
So N = 250.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
