At Greebo's local sweet shop, three particularly nice sweets are on special offer. A Sparkle, a Wibbler and a Nobbler together cost 40p. A Nobbler is over three times the price of a Sparkle. Six Sparkles are worth more than a Wibbler. A Nobbler, plus two Sparkles costs less than a Wibbler. Can you determine the price of each type of sweet?

What confused me already yesterday was... and I only say this because Titania already has too many points! ... her post is a reply to CM. 
. Give her the point anyway! And give tdbiii one too, it sure looked like a simpost!
(Yes, I was lurking! 
)

Greebo... for what it could be worth, I updated this quiz shortly after I had posted, and then it looked as if my posting was made 1 minute later than CM's...
Have a quick look at todays' quiz - what first looked like a major simpost now looks as if Ottox got first!

Yes, when I had posted, I updated the forum, and there was only Greebo's and my posts.
