“Toffees?” “Sure.” Linda emptied the bag on to the table.

“I’m taking a third of them and then two more,” she told him.

“You may have some if you’re lucky.” Chris nodded. “That’s right,” she said, taking half of what remained and also two toffees. “You didn’t pay but you can have the seven that are left.” How many did Linda take?

4 “Here’s something on the family’s three houses,” said Ted. “They all have 3-figure numbers, using all nine digits from 1 to 9. But there’s something else.” Sam chuckled.

ANSWER Ages 3 years ago had been 13, 15 and 19 6 “Phew, that’s heavy,” said Judy, putting down the big box she had brought in. “Some klibbets from Kalota.

How many did you get?” “Twenty in all, at three prices, £19.97, £6.49, and £3.29,” Judy replied. “£121.56 the lot, and they’re well worth it.” How many had she bought at each price?
