Loan Interest Payment Puzzle / Question

[TheRealJoeFish]

So, without looking at anything but OP, I think I've got the answer to the initial problem:

---

You make your first month's payment on the small loan, then make the next 12 months' payments on the big loan, until after the 14th month there's $1,016.21 in the big account and $188.56 in the small account. Total payment $27,204.77. Now to check if that's right!

---

The second problem I want to think about some more.

Edit: don't know if my solution to the first one's allowed. I thought you could alternate months. I agree that if you have to choose one loan, pay it off entirely, and then pay the other one off, you pay the smaller one first. Because if you pay off 2000 on the small one, you're saving yourself $100 (and interest thereon, and so on) going forward. If you pay off 2000 on the bigger one with the lower rate, you're saving yourself $60. This is basically what CD was saying intuitively.
