YOU KNOW THE DRILL, POST THE ANSWERS AT YOUR PERIL AND I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, I AM NOT IN A VERY GOOD MOOD TODAY! ?

Good morning all, in the light of the weekend’s shocking behaviour, I have decided to introduce anti social distancing in class.
You will all be sitting at least two metres apart, until I see some improvement in your disgraceful behaviour. behaviour ?

Today’s puzzle is quite topical. It should please wila. I do hope she makes it to class today.

Because, deep down, I am a kind teacher, I have a little extra teaser for those who don't want to try the algebraic equation.
A man went into a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone at the party who drunk the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

Thanks for the cake and apple Miss which I needed after a busy morning.

There are umpteen scenarios for poisoning but I won't post any more as you must be worn out after Friday's marathon class!

Best wishes.
