The difference between the number of books between Mad Ade and Crazy Carl is five.
Who is the uncle of Dippy Derek?
__________
Mad Ade is Dippy Derek's Uncle.
Since each per Nephew pays "per book the same amount of Wonks as books at he bought," the number of Wonks a per Nephew paid is the square of the number of books he bought. Since each Uncle spent 21 Wonks more than his Nephew, the two scenarios are:
A) Uncle, 25w (5 books, 5w each)
B) Nephew, 4w (2 books, 2w each)
C) Uncle, 121w (11 books, 11w each)
D) Nephew, 100w (10 books, 10w each)
Since the difference between the number of books of Mad Ade and Crazy Carl is 5, and since Mad Ade is one of the Uncles, Mad Ade bought 5 books (A) and Crazy Carl bought 10 books (D), which forces Dippy Derek into position B, as Mad Ade's Nephew.
