Little Lochie Fitzgerald is walking home from school one day when he finds $30 lying in the gutter. Overjoyed at his good fortune he runs, Charlie Bucket style, straight to the nearest confectioners.

He buys one very large box of chocolates and a liquorice stick spending the entire $30. We know that the box of chocolates was worth $29 more than the liquorice stick. How much did Lochie pay for the liquorice stick?

You can find the answer here.
