My son's school has given out a quiz.

I haven't tried it yet, and he photocopied it for me, and I have enlarged and photographed it. The print was tiny to begin with and our printer is on the blink (Father Christmas has been asked for a new one) so lines don't come out straight and words can be blurred, so having been copied twice it may not be legible. Ask if you need me to decipher any of the writing!

Anyway, I thought some of you might enjoy it.

Question 1.

Question 2

Question 3. (two pictures)

Question 4.

Question 5.

Sorry this one is rather out of focus. It says 14 bottles of wine and 18 pine logs . The sign on the bridge says Max Wt 1 1/2 tons (I hope the rest is legible)

my forum sister is going to LOVE these.. NOT

If i can get these printed i might give them a try. Very do-able.

I have numbers for all of the letters in question 3, but one (or maybe two) look dodgy. I may have to compare notes with Fernando . (or anyone else who is trying it) . Fernando says he has done the crossword.

Question 3 has two typos in it. Ask if you are attempting this and I will post them.

I was looking at the Good King Wenceslaus one and then realised that I had no idea what stones and pounds were, let alone how many there were in a tonne...

Isn't that what google is for? 14 pounds in a stone, 16 ounces in a pound. No idea about tonnes.

Here's the correction:

Imperial weights:
1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)
1 stone (st) = 14 lb
1 hundredweight (cwt) = 8 st = 112 lb
1 ton = 20 cwt = 2240 lb

Well we handed our answers in. The cat and mouse one was quite good fun .

I'm saving them for Christmas!

The deadline for handing them in was today, so we didn't have that luxury.

Well I think they would probably have been quite surprised to get an entry from me anyway!

I'm afraid I saw numbers and ran away...

Well the Maths department annual quiz is likely to have a few numbers.

A bit like me and puzzles where I am meant to recognise people!
