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!

littleflo, we have a word here in Glasgow to describe someone who tells tales. It's CLYPE and every class has one. grin

Right who was that who coughed???
? This is my sad teacher face, as my wee DGD calls it, when I tell her to stop doing something. grin

Here is something to keep you going, until the great reveal.

When Ashley was 15, her mother was 37. Now, her mother is twice her age. How old is Ashley?

Are we sad? Yesterday I came across the brain teaser and as I'm mathematically challenged called in DH to take a look. He got it straightaway (we're in the 40 camp), then did the others throughout the day. Now, I'm saving doing today's challenge as he's still tucked up in bed doing sudoku after reading the papers online. We're stuck in as I'm "vulnerable" with an autoimmune problem. We sat doing quick crosswords, quizzes together yesterday pm. New way of life. Nice.

I'm leaving the classroom for a while, no talking amongst yourselves now...or else!!

Marydoll Sat 04-Apr-20 09:10:19

Auntieflo, of course you can! I am a very kind teacher and may I remind everyone, it's only a bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously! ?
