And finally

[Scurra]

I hope it gets you're brains working a bit.

I bet your English Teacher wouldn't be too happy to read this though

Thanks. I must confess that I'm not a big fan of "maths" puzzles, which is why you won't find too many in Puzzlebrains - but that doesn't mean there won't be any

[fernando]

Four typos corrected.

[giraffe]

Well I'm impressed. I've never used publisher and it would have been a whole lot easier to just scan the sheet in, if only we knew how to use the scanner

Part of question 5 seems to be missing.

[fernando]

Is that better?

[MBH]

These look like fun What 'age range' are they being thrown at?

I've never used publisher....
if only we knew how to use the scanner

(You don't work for the library do you? The number of times I hear both these lines from libarary staff If you want to learn, you've got to learn - and then DO)

Humph is all I can say MBH. OH being all things musical we have this complicated sound system attached to the TV, DVD, video, etc.

I couldn't get any sound out of the DVD and he said exactly your words. "You have to learn how to use it and then dont be frightened of it"

Guess who would have got the blame if I'd fiddled with it. Then he remembered he'd taken a lead out of the back to use on something else..........................

Just Humph.

I have also heard that from my husband. He sounds like yours, Gill. We have DVD, bluray DVD, amps, preamps etc. To play a DVDVD(as my granson calls them) I need to use 4 remote controls for 5 pieces of equipment. I have frequently phoned him (he works in a library) to ask why I have sound and no picture or vice versa. Usually he has rewired something and not told me. But I am meant to know this and be able to work it out. MEN!!!

[giraffe]

I have scanned things, but they always come out small and blurry.

[fernando]

These look like fun What 'age range' are they being thrown at?

Mainly years 10 and 11 ie age 14 to 16 I think.

[Bunnylump]

Probably a bit too hard for me then!

[MBH]

To play a DVDVD(as my granson calls them)

YOU are Twiki's grandmother?

[Bunnylump]

You get people from all walks of life here, don't you?

[LAT]

Yes, and I don't even understand half of them

[evilkeen]

Ooh Fernando, thank you. I might give that to some of my pupils!

[evilkeen]

Fernando, in question 1 is there by any chance a clue for 10 down? Without it I can solve everything except that there are two alternatives for each of the first two digits of 13 across, which a clue for 10 down would probably resolve.

Kevin

[gill216]

Try the clue for 9 down as there isn't a 9 down.

[giraffe]

That's right. He has typed 9 instead of 10. There is also a comment at the end of the question that "No answer begins with 0"
