GoodFriday: Miss MaryDoll's Marvellous Maths

Sorry I am late Miss Doll, I had a delivery from Tesco (boasting!).

Circle = 1
Triangle = 2
Square = 4
Octagon = 6

The room with the lions because they would be dead after being starved for years.

CraftyGranny it's too early for the solution and where is your answer to the main puzzle?

You can thqueam and thqueam all you like. I have my ear defenders on. ?

I'm going to thqueam and thqueam until I'm thick. Is it home time yet?

Please Miss can we have a clue?

The room with lions! ?

On second thoughts, perhaps the room with the lions, as they are probably dead, having not been fed for a year?

There is a trick in the question.

Assuming that these are three choices for his execution, I think the room with armed men. The death would hopefully be quick, then feed the man to the lion, burn the bones in the furnace!

Here is another teaser. Sorry it's bit difficult to read. Please click on it to enlarge.

I did it by colours as well Gillybob- wasn’t sure about circles/ovals.

Had to use pen and paper for this one MissDoll
Can’t quite make out the shapes on my phone but .....

Orange triangle = 2
Green blob = 6
Blue blob = 1
Purple square = 4

Yes Gilly, a minus sign on both.

Octagon = 6
Triangle = 2
Circle = 1
Square = 4

Can’t quite make it out MissDoll is that a minus sign ?
