An easier maths puzzle to solve

Changed my mind 50

And I did the bracket bit before your hint might still be wrong though!

Sorry littleflo,, no.☹️

Try putting brackets around the division and multiplication parts and do them first.?

14 ?

Oh!
I never thought of that!

Here is another puzzle, where you need to use BODMAS.

The order you do the operations in, is important.
Hint, draw some brackets, before you start.

This was a thinking outside of the box puzzle and the leap year table was to put you off the track. . Sorry!

As 1895 wasn't a leap year, it probably wasn't going to be anything to do with being born in a leap year.

The answer is, Marry was born in Room No. 1895 (in a hospital?, hotel?) ?
Today is her 30th birthday. The facts are unconnected.

Detention for me for being so cruel, methinks!

Callistemon, I have now!
I haven't had a lot of time to peruse GN today. I spent two hours fighting with a floor steamer. ?
Unfortunately the tip is closed, it's in the garage awaiting it's fate.
More troublesome than any puzzle.

I think Mary died when she was 30

Put us out of our misery please

Well, it was 1896
What happened in 1896?
Or 1895

Unless she was born on 29th February in a Leap Year I can't work it out.

Marydoll I sent you an interesting anecdote re Leap Years but I don't think you've received it

Patsy ?

Doodle ?

Who Mary was born in a leap year?
Hint: I gave a list of leap years , When is the first leap year after she was born?

Ok I’ve done the first one and the children in the classroom and agree with others.
I can’t do the Marry/Mary one. 1895 wasn’t a leap year so how can that be. I will not sleep until I know the answer ?.
This is a good idea Marydoll. The one yesterday was such fun. I might cheat and go and ask DH if he can do this.

Ok. Like most women she didn’t like getting older so at 76 she decided to do what a lot of women do and start going backwards so in 2017 she would be 30. best guess

126

5x4x2 = 40
10x5x2 = 100
6x3x7 = 126

I think Mary has been misspelled.

Like all good teachers, I will give some help with the leap year puzzle.

I am also stumped on the Marry one. Is there a clue in the name (Marry not Mary) ?

126

Anne Brown is 10
Brian White is 9
Mary Green is 7

Square = 3
Triangle = 2
Circle = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 x 2 = 14

Still puzzling why Mary is only 30 if 1895 was not a Leap Year

I am still puzzled about Mary as 1895 wasn't a Leap Year


I need another

Oops
