*PLEASE DO NOT POST THE ANSWERS, IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO HAVE A GO AT SOLVING THE QUESTION.

Good morning all, I hope you are all raring to go. smile

Today's is a wee bit tricky. I'm going to give you a hint: Think of certain types of numbers, square, triangular, prime.

I have a couple of problems for you today, just in case someone inadvertantly posts the answers.
Please try not to, as it take a bit of work to pull them together.

Feelingmyage, has a couple OF QUESTIONS in hand for emergencies, so thanks for that.

I may not have access to my PC, don't worry if I'm not back until lunch time.

This one is a challenge. It's 9:10 am so maybe it's too early for me. I'm also not having a good day today. Our daughter's dog had to be put down yesterday. He was old and very sick. Our entire family is heartbroken. The "Granddog" as DH and I liked to call him, spent a lot of time with us over the years, and he will be badly missed.

I will PM my answer later...
