POST YOUR ANSWERS AT YOUR PERIL!
ALL OFFENDERS WILL BE DEALT WITH BY THE DEPUTE MISS CHARLEYGIRL! ??

Good morning class, I hope we are all raring to go.

It is possible to break down the seven-digit number 1234567 and insert plus signs between certain digits (or groups of digits) in such a way to produce a result of 100.

One way is: 1 + 23 + 4 + 5 + 67 = 100.

Can you think of another way?

Charleygirl5 Thu 21-May-20 13:47:32

Pantglas I would be very grateful if you would ask the other girls what they would like to drink and give me the list. Are sure your drink does not contain alcohol? It sounds suspicious to me.

If it does, I will cancel everybody elses drink- you have been warned.

Charleygirl5 Thu 21-May-20 13:37:17

Miss I live in NW London- 100 years ago I lived in Fife and worked in Edinburgh and Dundee.

Doodle yes you may but the word is spelt with a c.

I do think if Miss is not at school tomorrow we must concentrate on English language, grammar and spelling.

Have you decided which drinks you would like? NO ALCOHOL!

Squiffy Thu 21-May-20 13:27:30
