My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

5?
A circular pond is 25ft across, with lilys all over the surface, in the middle there is a small island, dead in the centre is a frog, the frog can jump 2.5ft per leap, how many leaps will it take this frog to escape the pond?

The question says that the triplets all receive the same the same amount. This may, or may not, be the same as Rastus

To do this, is it necessary to assume the triplets all have the same work rate, which may or may not be different to Rastus and Willie?
Yep

Weedy Willie was getting too old to work the land alone so he decided to divide his cornfield between himself and his four sons in proportion to their five work rates. He knew that Rastus, Wig, Twig and Swig together could plant a field of corn in five hours whereas Wig, Twig and Swig and himself together could manage the same task in six hours. So Weedy divided his field into a two-digit square number of parts and kept just one part for himself. Now, Wig, Twig and Swig were identical triplets so each received the same whole number of parts.
How many parts did each son get?

True, but there are also literally thousands of books on relativity, so that argument holds little weight :)
