1. Debbie can eat 100 chocolates in half a minute, and Jax eat half as many in twice the length of time. How many chocolates can both of them eat in 15 seconds?

 

 

2. A team of 6 girls and 4 boys put together a 2200-piece jigsaw puzzle in 4 hours. The same jigsaw puzzle was put together in 8 hours by a team of two girls and five boys. Who are better at putting jigsaw puzzles together, boys or girls, and by how much?

 

 

3. If you look at a clock and the time is 3.15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands?

Why is this doubly correct?

(w00t) Don't know where you find these Dawn! 1. Debbie can eat 100 chocolates in half a minute, and Jax eat half as many in twice the length of time. How many chocolates can both of them eat in 15 seconds?  64 and a half, but that seems too easy and doesn't sound right.  :- "

 

 

2. A team of 6 girls and 4 boys put together a 2200-piece jigsaw puzzle in 4 hours. The same jigsaw puzzle was put together in 8 hours by a team of two girls and five boys. Who are better at putting jigsaw puzzles together, boys or girls, and by how much?

 

 

3. If you look at a clock and the time is 3.15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands? There is no angle as they are both pointing to the same number - probably wrong as well!

 

 

4. A snail is at the bottom of a well 30 feet deep. It can crawl up 3 feet in one day, but at night it slips back 2 feet. How long does it take the snail to crawl out of the well? 30 days

 

 

5. Eleven plus two = twelve plus one

Why is this doubly correct?

 

 

6. When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Sunday as today was from Sunday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What day is it?  :wacko:

 

7. A farmer had to deliver two van loads of eggs to the supermarket. He wanted the vans to arrive at exactly 11am.  If they travelled at 30mph they would reach the supermarket an hour early. At 20mph they would arrive an hour late. How fast would they have to travel to arrive on time? 25 mph - again seems too simple!
