Thursday: Miss Doll’s Thought-provoking, Thorny and Therapeutic Maths Problems.

It is indeed a Scottish word, similar to whirling, but much stronger!

Repeat after me:

When Miss goes into hospital you will be learning spelling, grammar, English language and literature. Miss has taught you very well because some of you are very quick off the mark with maths.

Miss and I are determined to get decent jobs for all of you but it is an uphill task at present. She will need a rest in a single room away from you lot.

Ooh thas a nyoo werd fore me Miss. I aven nevva erd the werd 'birling' afore! Izzit a Scottish werd? Cor wes doo lurn alot in yore klarss!

Afternoon class, apologies for not getting back sooner. Some unruly pupil, who shall remain nameless, switched off the router and then denied it. ?

Thank goodness I was an IT co-ordinator in a previous life!

yggdrasil you can always just do the puzzle an PM Marydoll with your answer. There is no need for you to join in the banter if it’s not your cup of tea. Sorry if we’ve upset you but it is just our bit of fun and many of us enjoy it. Those who don’t can just do the puzzle and not get involve with the rest. ?

Right class, back to work! Enough time wasted this morning.

You know the drill, no posting the answers.

You can only use the numbers, 1 to 36 and the total should be 111.

For those of you complaining that you are having difficulty seeing the question, do you know that if you click on the image, it will enlarge it?

There is no requirement to read all the posts to try the puzzle.

yggdrasil, pleased to hear you enjoy the puzzles.
The girls mean no harm. Do what myself and Miss Charleygirl do, skip over the unreadable ones, I can't understand them either!

Dear Marydoll
I would like to enjoy your puzzles, but the number of illiterate and unreadable posts put me off the whole thread. I know it's supposed to be a joke, but not to me
