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

Oh Charleygirl, how lovely to see you here first.
You are today's Class Sook.
For those who are not Scots, a sook is someone one who is always trying to be in teacher's good books, however I'm not easily impressed. wink

Marydoll Wed 13-May-20 08:48:46

Goodbyetoallthat, lovely to see you here. A word of warning, do not trust anyone. They will lead you astray! grin

Charleygirl5 Wed 13-May-20 10:20:31

I am Scottish but no sook. I was educated properly having passed my 11+ with an A grade but I am having problems reading what the others have written- it is barely legible and as I said previously these girls are unemployable. Even spell check has given up.

Miss, I do not mind taking over but there will be no playing around. You need a rest having taken your medication.
