1 “We’re going to have a new maths teacher,” said Bob. “Miss Dibbins told us today. She said she’s going to retire.” Gwen shook her head. “I’m sorry to hear it, as I know you like her.”

“That’s right, she makes it fun,” the boy declared. “She told us her age is seven times its last digit plus three times its first.”

Well?

ANSWER Age 67 years 2 “You’re selling melons in pairs,” said Mike. “What if I want just seven?“ “They’re all the same, so take your pick and I’ll be glad to split a pair,” Hank replied. “£2 for seven for you, mister, and that gives me the same profit as I normally make on one pair.” Mike smiled. “But what if I take a dozen?“ The old man replied, “I’d want double the profit for that lot, so they’d be £3.50 for you.” What was his normal price for a pair?

ANSWER Melons 75p per pair 3 “I’ll pay a quarter of the bill, and also 25p,” said Sam. “More than my share, but I’m rich today.” “Lucky Sam. I’m broke,” commented Andy. “But I’ll pay a quarter of the balance, and also 25p.” Bert accepted the bill from the waitress. “Well, I’ve got exactly 98p, and that will just cover the rest.” What was the total amount?

ANSWER The bill was for £2.52 4 Lucy emptied her bag on to the table. “It’s crazy,” she exclaimed. “I was broke before I cashed that tax refund cheque today. Then I only spent £5.89 on my way home, but now I’ve got precisely double what I should have left.” “It must have been the cheque. Tellers do make mistakes.” Tom chuckled. “She probably gave you pounds for ps and ps for pounds in it.” He was right, so what was the amount of that tax refund?

ANSWER Tax refund £33.61 5 “Ada’s house is like a menagerie,” Greg declared.

“Birds and dogs running wild.”

Tom chuckled. “I haven’t seen her for years. How many pets has she got there?“ “They’ve got 26 feet and 9 heads,” replied Greg. How many birds?

ANSWER Five birds, four dogs 6 There was an old king of Nepal, Whose age I just cannot recall.
