PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER ON THIS THREAD OR IT'S DENTENTION FOR YOU!
PM me if you wish an ?.

Good morning class here we go again, happy as can be. I hope some of the new classmates have a go today.



A money-conscious student likes to wear a clean shirt every day. He brings his shirts to the laundromat every Monday morning and picks them up exactly one week later. How many shirts does the budget-minded student need to own so that he has a clean shirt to put on every day?

The answer is NOT 8

Doods I not shore if wes aloud in skul urlee reelee. I jus memberd Miss as the kees cos the chairtaiker is on is ollidaze - I erd im torkin bout it wiv the kleenas yessday. So weel av to wate til Miss is in, then Ile sneek the kard rownd to everwun wile she ritin our sums on the blakbored.

Charleygirl5 Wed 13-May-20 21:11:37

Yes thank you, even I understood it!!!!

Marydoll Wed 13-May-20 21:03:40

Sorry class, I don't know how many times I posted the answers earlier and they disappeared into the ether. I have become a doddery old teacher! sad.
I then was delayed by a family crisis (again).

Answer 15

EXPLANATION: 7 dirty shirts at the laundromat, 7 shirts to last until he picks them up, and the shirt he wears on Monday when he goes to the laundromat makes 15 in all.

He could get by with 14 by briefly wearing a dirty shirt Monday morning when he goes to the laundromat and changing in to one of the clean shirts he picks up.

Is that a satisfactory explanation? wink

Did I hear we're throwing a party for Miss? I have booze, likker balls, leftover cupcakes and a pair of plastic sunglasses shaped like 2020! What can I bring?

Charleygirl, no one can replace our favorite teacher of all time, Miss MaryDoll! So, give it up already and come have fun with us....by the time Batsheba, Callistemon, Doodle, Feelingmyage, Mary51, Pantglas, Puzzler and Squiffy are done with ye, you'll be binging on gummy bears, hanging out behind the shed or sitting on the 'norty' step! grin grin grin
