Puzzler you are not old enough to consume alcoholic drinks. I will be informing your mother after school. You may drink the diet coke on its own.

Marydoll Fri 19-Jun-20 12:54:56

Hello there class, I hope you are all behaving.

A number of you clever pupils have worked out the values of the fish, but calculated that the answer is 52, which is incorrect.

(Sturgeon x squid) + 2dolphins = ?

Have you forgotten your BODMAS or was it, you didn't notice that there were two dolphins.

Marydoll Fri 19-Jun-20 13:04:27

Marydoll Fri 19-Jun-20 13:21:42

Justwidowed ?

Charleygirl5 Fri 19-Jun-20 13:57:08

OMG I deserve the remainder of the day off having managed to work out something correct for once. I bow gracefully out of the maths puzzles and leave those to the brightest in our class.

Feelingmyage55 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:14:53

I’ve go a fyoo diffrent ansurs so I’m wating for Miss to post them coz iv gon oll shi. Im oll doolally isolating. Miss please hav my good wishes for Monday.

Feelingmyage55 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:16:09

Is there a deputy for Monday. I can’t do Maths but could do a riddle?

Bathsheba Fri 19-Jun-20 14:29:11

Weldun Miss Charley I nyoo yoo ad it in yoo sumware!

Charleygirl5 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:30:00

I cannot do the maths but maybe Puzzler or Doodle? Why not enjoy the weekend off?

Puzzler61 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:39:51

I nominate Doodle . She has been here a lot longer than me and it may save her having to be “employed” by others Miss Charley?

Feeling I had 3 go’s at the algebra today and don’t know yet if the 3rd try was right. Not at all confident ?

Charleygirl5 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:45:16

Sorry Puzzler I thought you were one of the whiz kids possibly destined to teach maths when you leave school!

I think it would be easier if everybody had a long weekend off and come back on Tuesday, refreshed. If MissDoll is not up to doing what she does best, I will teach English grammar.

Puzzler61 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:46:15

Gurls let me whisperr - wot is mi BODMAS - Miss is tawkin abowt?
I dunno wot she meenz ?
If I got da sums wong I will blame nowin bout mi BODMAS.

Puzzler61 Fri 19-Jun-20 14:48:56

I’m stayin at dis skool fur eternetee Miss C . ?

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 14:52:07

BODMAS is the order in which you do an equation:

Brackets (if there are any)
Orders
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

There were no brackets but I put some in when I was working it out.
Oh, it's a squid, I thought it was a crab !
