Miss Sheba's Thursday tricky teaser (just for today while Miss is having a rest)

I’m cumming gillybob. I won’t let you down. I’ve pushed the bins under the window. If you climb on the desk you can get out the window and I will cattched you. Bring the gin stuff wiv you ? don make any noise or sumone will see us ??

Oh, and if you, erm, get caught short , you should find a mop and bucket in the cupboard too.

gillybob you silly girl! Well you're just going to have to stay there till tomorrow morning when the janitor comes round and opens up.

If you get hungry, there are lots of snacks and cakes in the stationery cupboard, in a box marked 'food for stick insects' (it's not really, it's just to put Pantglas off eating it - you know what she's like). The key to the stationery cupboard is in the bottom drawer of the teacher's desk, where you should also find another bottle of gin

I’m locked in the bloomin’ classroom . The cleaners have gone and I’m alone with a tank full of stick insects !

gillybob where are you ?

Ta for the cake.

puzzler and feelingmyage you can have shares of my cake. I got two peeces coz pantglas didn’t want hers.

Has anyone seed gillybob I woz goin to walk home wiv her??

Misssssss Misssssssss anyone help !

I was in detention and I think I’m locked in !

Ta for the cake, Miss, dead yummy but it was a bit mingy, can I have some more?

I’ve still not worked it out. Give my cake to the dog/cat/hamster. I don’t deserve it?

Well I did but the lines were sloping so that’s probably not allowed !

It was my silly fault for not reading the instructions properly!

Gosh Jennifer, if you can do it with THREE lines, I'll bake you a whole cake all to yourself!

Sorry so it was. I don’t know why I thought it was three! You had better take my cake back!!

Yes Jennifer, 4 lines, which the puzzle asked for.

Isn’t that four lines Miss?

No need to apologise willa45
I wasn’t sure either if we could do that or if it was seen as cheating!?
The lines have to slope down very slightly so as to catch the very bottom of the third dots.

Here's one solution

Yes, you're right JenniferE and Willa. I'll see if I can post the solution....

OOps....Jennifer, I didn't see your post, honest. I was sitting on the first page when I posted and hit the send button. Really feel stupid, my comment ending up right after your explanation. Yes.....It occurred to me that the lines had to meet beyond the points, too.

Miss Sheba....can the lines extend beyond the dots?

Thank you. Just putting the kettle on so the cake will go down well !
The nine dots can be joined by taking the straight lines out beyond the dots. Don’t know how else to explain!

I get 14 (reeely, not just waiting and cribbing off other classmates).

JenniferEccles you are right!

And to everyone else who said 14 for the first puzzle, well done! Here's a bonus slice of cake for each of you. So that'll be JenniferEccles, Doodle, Farmor, JoyBloggs, Gillybob, Squiffy and Willa ???????? (2 slices for Jennifer because she was a good girl and solved the second puzzle too)

Miss Sheba
One dog
One cat
One hamster

I might be wrong though!

Well, Neva has my flabber-been-so-gasted?. If I wasn’t so well-ejucaited I’d be speechless?, or gobsmacked eevn!

Miss and me is gonna ave a talk when she reecofers- she can’t be plying me with drink then denyin me a promoshun....I’ll be talkin to the Younion bout it!
