Good morning all, today brings another teaser, which is not meant to be taken too seriously.
It may cause some controversy, as depending on how you interpret it, there are two possible answers.
Good luck and be gentle with me!

Where are you miss? It's gone 7 pm!!,

I bet she's playing hookey

Doodle Sat 04-Apr-20 20:19:02

Oops too ?

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 20:18:58

That will be impossible, as you are in detention..... Another thing, don't you be sneaking out to that Alphabet Bar.

Doodle Sat 04-Apr-20 20:18:32

Obviously I’m not to good at spelling Miss blush I meant sums ?

Miss, Miss I got all my sims right today Miss. can I go to the top of the class please Miss? ?

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 20:17:36

Doodle, trust you to spoil the moment. Detention, NOW ! ?

Miss I’ve spilt orange juice down my uniform ?

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 20:15:56

Here are the answers.
I have tried to show the value of each piece of fruit. Do you know how difficult that is to impose text on the image? If you click on the fruit, it will enlarge and you can see the numbers.
The answer is 14 , as there appears to be only three bananas. Well done if you worked it out. ?

You can argue all you like, I'm past caring!! ?

By the way, Ashley is 22. Her mother is 22 years older, so when Ashley is 22, she’s now half her mother’s age

No clues anyone. Miss said answer the question only not to spoil it for others. Shhhh ?

littleflo Sat 04-Apr-20 20:09:44

But her mum is only 12 years older than her.

JackyB Sat 04-Apr-20 19:54:40

Oh no, silly. It's 14.

JackyB Sat 04-Apr-20 19:53:04

I make it 7, after several attempts. All with he same answer. And Ashley will be 22 and her mother 44.

Kalu Sat 04-Apr-20 19:10:42

Looked at the bananas??‍♀️ Last and final answer?? 14

Doodle Sat 04-Apr-20 17:58:02

Thank you Miss.
P.S I wasn’t thinking about going in the boys toilet but now you’ve mentioned it there is this boy in class 3.......

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 17:42:11

Did you not go at break? (exasperated sigh!). I knew you were trouble from the start. ?

Avert your eyes if you meet any boys! I have heard about your antics in the Argy. ?

Brunette10 Sat 04-Apr-20 17:04:01

Think 15 for fruit square?

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 16:47:23

If you are viewing on a phone, you may miss a small detail to do with the bananas. wink

littleflo Sat 04-Apr-20 16:25:40

I think Ashley is 62.

Kalu Sat 04-Apr-20 16:22:36

Had another look at No.1.......15 and that is my final answer?
