Mary, you are right! Very good, that was quick!

I'll give you another one.

Rebecca wanted to get rid of most of her dolls. She gave one-fourth of her collection, plus 10, to Nancy. Then she gave one-fifth of what was left, plus 10, to Susy, and half of what was left, plus 10, to Cheryl. She kept the last 5.

How many dolls did Rebecca start out with?

words I'm ok with...math??? forget it!

Mary, this is a word math problem. You should be ok!! The kids at school can do math, but when it comes to word problems, they have trouble.

Agghh...no maths...it's doin' me 'ead in!

Stella : she had 80 dolls.
Nancy - 1/4 of 80 = 20+10 = 30 dolls leaving 50
Susy - 1/5 of 50 = 10+10 = 20 dolls leaving 30
Cheryl - 1/2 of 30 = 15+10 = 25 dolls leaving 5
5 remaining dolls to Rebecca.

see everyone on the flip side

Good night

Hi everyone/anyone?

Hi Brenda, how are you? Just got back from the Mall and it always seems that there is "one" more thing to get, especially for the dorm rooms.

Rolanda, you math genius, you are right, the answer is 80. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to work backwards and I didn't need the fancy equations!

OK, here's a word problem.

1. Take a word that means "carry" and change one letter to find a pickling solution.

2. Take the word for a mark and change one letter to find a word that means "without spice."

Brand and bland

Bring and brine?

I don't even like this answer myself...Bring and Brine?

carry = bring? I don't think so.

But it's all I could think of. You were posting while I was writing, Mary.

Great minds think alike, Ian

I hope it's a different answer, and a better one. Maybe "bear" and "beam." Before you ask, Jim Beam always worked as a pickling solution for me.

HEY, Bring works better than the Southern word TOTE!

Brine was the only pickeling solution I could think of at the moment.

me too Miztricia...other than alcohol which doesn't work...at least on paper

You guys are so clever! Yes, it is bring and brine for the first one, and brand and bland for the second one. I guess that was an easy one. The first definition for "bring" is "to carry," but I didn't see "bring" listed under the definition for carry. Very interesting!

Busy morning for me. off to do the Grocery Shop soonish, then have a Haircut at 10.00am.
Home for the rest of the day... YEAH !! have time to empty the bottomless wash basket
Cold Morning here, but the Sun is Shinning, and the birds are singing !!

but first, must have some breakfast, before one fades into nothingness !!

Stella, unlike Mary, prefer the maths puzzels, not any good with the word ones !!!

and because I can..... 1 more for a CP

This is a math one that may be hard to visualize since I can't make a circle. Picture a circle that is divided in half horizontally. In the top half of the circle, it is divided in half again.(pretend the () are each part) Now, following the logic in the first two "circles", find the missing number in the third circle.

1. First circle
(1)(3)
(12)

2. second circle
(2)(5)
(21)

3. third circle
(4)(4)
(?)

Good morning Rolanda! Can I give you my grocery list too? Hubby is going tomorrow!

24?

add up the top x 3?

hmm, sounds good Mary !

and Mary, you say you are not good at math heheh

Hey Rolanda, feeling terrific this morning...the sun is shining yayayayay

to me that is not maths but logic MizTricia

anything harder....forget it!

Any way..it may not be right...catch you all later

one more for luck?

You're right Mary, it is 24. Me thinks you have been hoding back!

hoding = holding

Allergies bothering me tonight, especially my eyes. It must be the change in weather!

Stella, the grocery shop is done, what time is Hubby coming tomorrow to pick up !!!

Mary ..yayayayay , the sun is shinning, the sky is blue and not a cloud in view !!
