Try this one.
Can you fill in the missing number?

96(25)248  72(64)576  106(81)954  324(?)3564

NO!  Not a hope

Didn't have a clue where to start till Mark gave us a strong hint. So I've got it now

With help I think I've got the answer but no idea why it links in with the other numbers. You'll have to explain it to me at the end.

Next puzzle:-

Monica took part in a furiously competitive race, which she won due to her speed and agility. Despite this, she was not allowed to collect the winning trophy. Why?

Pretty sure I know the answer, but hard to avoid a major spoiler. Here's my attempt to somewhat obfuscate: I'm thinking that Monica competed naked, but that wasn't the primary reason she couldn't have the trophy placed in her hands.

 Divide the number after the brackets by the one before. That's then the square of the number inside the brackets. Except the puzzle block contained an error to make it extra tricky!!

Because Monica was a horse or dog, neither of which have hands

I think Monica is a racing pigeon

Th official answer is Horse but you're all right.

Next puzzle - A car is driven from A to B at an average speed of 60mph and is then driven back along the same path at an average speed of 40mph.
What is the average speed of the car for the whole journey?
