Charley Smalleash treats his best girl to a trolley ride, but on account of his limited resources they plan to walk back, so, if the car goes at the rate of nine miles an hour and they can walk at the rate of three miles an hour, how far could they ride if they must be back in eight hours? Here is the original story of the Seignor and the monkey house as told by an eye witness. You see, the organ had seen its best days, and was sadly out of tune, but the Seignor's staying powers were inexhaustible and nothing short of a contribution from each of the tenants would bribe him to cease the eternal grind and move to other quarters.

Now that his audience is ready to capitulate, can you show Jocko the shortest possible route to clamber from window to window with his little tin cup to collect his dues, resting at last on his master's shoulder? The windows are numbered to facilitate a description of the monkey's route.
