Good morning class. You know the drill.

Another algebraic equation for you to solve.
PM if you would like a mention on the thread.

I am looking for the values for:
Pineapple
Grapes
Watermelon
Strawberry


To receive an apple you need to answer the whole question. wink

I won't be back until much later to answer PMs.

Mary... Mischief? Not much chance at the moment! grin

Marydoll Thu 18-Jun-20 23:28:27

How very kind of you, Joy. Thanks.

I do enjoy setting them. keeps me out of mischief most of the time.

I look at this thread every day even though I don't always get round to doing the puzzles and I miss it at the weekend! I think Mary deserves a large sack of golden apples for giving so much of her time to creating a fun thread. Nobody is obliged to look at threads that don't suit them. I'm not very interested in cooking so I avoid pretty much any thread involving food (unless it's how to prepare a meal in less than 10 minutes with no more than 4 ingredients and I'm still waiting for that one!). I like the fact that sometimes the maths puzzle is fairly easy and I feel happy to have solved it, while the trickier ones are good for giving what's left of the grey matter a bit of exercise. Thank you Mary from another of your happy band flowers

Class, it doesn't mattter if you get the correct answer or not.
The friendship is more important than the maths!

Someone has started a thread saying all the posts on GN are depressing. She obviously hasn't been on here and read your posts! grin.
It's a gentle harmless thread, where no-one is ridiculed or nipped at. We look after each other and long may it continue!
Well until I get released from shielding, if ever!

Marydoll Thu 18-Jun-20 18:36:13

The answers

The best way to solve it, was to start with the grapes.
Pineapple = 4
Strawberry = 12
Grape = 12
Watermelon = 2
? = 26

The picture puzzle was a starfish.

See you all tomorrow.
