Good morning class, here we are again, happy as can be, well as happy as we can in the circumstances.

Please DO NOT your answers, this allows others to have go. If you are keen to know if you got it correct, feel free to PM me.

Sorry the image is a bit skew-whiff.

Can you find the smallest possible number that is divisible by fifteen, which contains only ones and zeroes (e.g: 10, 11, 100)
You do not need a calculator to solve it, but a piece of paper would be helpful.

Good luck!

Ma heid is birlin' tryin tae read these answers! ???

HINT for those who are finding it difficult: If a number is divisible by 15, it must be divisible by both 3 and 5. So, write down all the numbers you can think of, starting from zero of course, then check if they are divisible by 3, then 5, you have your answer.

Now apples for the class.

Here is another wee teaser to keep you going.

A woman, who is having trouble sleeping, decides to call her next-door neighbour in the middle of the night. When he answers, she doesn't say a word and hangs up. The woman then falls fast asleep.

What happened?

gillybob Tue 28-Apr-20 11:36:42

Was it her next door neighbour in bed ?

I sometimes poke my DH just to check he’s alive and breathing and then when he grunts or jumps . I close my eyes and drift off .

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 11:40:05

She is in her own bed and her neighbour is next door in his/her home.

Callistemon Tue 28-Apr-20 11:42:23

@Marydoll

I usually peep through the window but is it
10101010?

This is my first go at a PM so hope it's sent rightly.

Callistemon Tue 28-Apr-20 11:46:15

I sent a PM with my story Miss

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 11:46:42

Sorry Mary, it's not, but welcome to our class.

We don't usually post the answers, nor do I comment on them, as it allows the latecomers to have a go.
Most people just PM, if they won't to know if they are correct.

Callistemon Tue 28-Apr-20 11:48:23

mary51 you click on where it says private message on the top of Marydoll's post and you can send a message to her.

It's like passing notes round the classroom but it's ok because she's the teacher.

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 11:49:42

Mary51, I don't have a PM from you, so I will send you one, in case you are not sure what it looks like.

At the top of this page, you will see a box, which says INBOX
If you click on taht, you will see my message. smile

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 11:51:17

Callistemon, oh you clever clogs!!! ??

Callistemon Tue 28-Apr-20 11:52:10

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 12:43:02

Candelle sorry, but you made a fatal mistake. You were very close, but you didn't check your answer. sad It is a whole number.
However, I'm delighted to see you in our class.

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 12:46:04

Pittcity, second one correct. Your ice cream melted, so something else for you. ?

We are due a visit from the school dentist, sad, I ?will need to source some alternatives. I thought you were talking about my neighbour!!! ?

No the neighbour in the teaser is doing something, which stops the woman sleeping.
Mx

The neighbour is not a hypnotist,as some pupils thought.

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 12:47:31

Candelle, well done! ?

Candelle Tue 28-Apr-20 13:13:59

Hurrah - or whoray...

(Note to self - check before answering or as we were taught in school RTBQ) (read the bloomin' question)!

Marydoll Tue 28-Apr-20 13:14:19

Bathsheba for you! ?
