nomadpete Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hmmmm Yeah, I remember suffering through maths like that...... Can I use my slide rule for that one? At least they didn't want the answer in tenths of an inch. Or Kilderkens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 No, the answer is 48 because you would have told him to get your own and when he comes back he would have had to get you another doz for the cheek of asking for yours in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 OK, not really maths, but. . . I was in a supermarket earlier today, I saw this lovely Blonde lady staring intently at the cartons of Orange juice. When I went around again, she was still there, so this grabbed my interest, and when I looked over her shoulder, I realised the problem,. . . It said on all the cartons,. . .
