An easier maths puzzle to solve

17

The answer is darkness, but the rest are equally valid. ?for you all!

Now tackle the big one.
What's the missing number and why?

Back later.

On the circle puzzle is the answer 17?

Will look at that at lunch time. Busy morning planned?

17

Oh, you want the why as well!

OK, so it's 17 because each number is the sum of the two numbers diametrically opposite, either side of the line.

What Bathsheba said for the explanation !

Bump ....I’m waiting for some more of these ....please Marydoll

An apple ? for all of those who said seventeen.

Sorry Gilly, I've just finished a telephone cardiac consultation, the doc was most impressed at the fact I was posting puzzles for my friends..
Care in the virtual community at it's best!

Divide 30 by ½ and add 10. What’s the answer?
Be careful, it's not as simple as it seems!

Bump

70?

Glad you managed to impress the doctor Marydoll . Hope you got some good news.

Got a row for not being a good girl!!!

Thank you for that I have been looking for this and couldn’t find it.

Will now tackle today’s puzzle

Oh dear Marydoll you do push those boundaries don’t you ?

70

17
So starting from three o’clock and going clockwise

1+7=8
5+8=13
9+7=16
7+4=13
4+1=5
And so
9+8=17

I’ve marked myself as being correct?

Hope your heart stands up to our efforts ❤️

_30. =60+10 = 70
0.5

I used a calculator though.

That's cheating Whitewave ?
I'm an old fashioned gal, I expect mechanical calculations.
You are all top of the class! ?for your reward chart.

You see that’s where this massive hole in my ability appears!

I was only joking. It's great people are having a go! ?

I will be back later.

.....and yes, some of you already posted some of the answers, but please keep in mind that it's only 9:30 am here.

Willa, good afternoon. I respected your wishes and didn't publicly acknowledge the correct answers.

Where are posting from, if that's not too cheeky an answer?

Is the butcher one a new one or did I miss it?

All correct, apart from the last one

Butcher one was a wee, cheeky starter this morning early on..
