I sit doing maths puzzles at night sometimes and really interesting stuff like that. Also tutor my mates daughter who struggles with all things mathematical! I also work with things with vat added on a daily basis so always just divide the gross by 1.2 to derive the net figure. Here's one for you: 52<48 Show your working out.

The question had been Peter bought an item for £29.75 inclusive if VAT. How much the item before VAT wad added? What it didn't give was the rate of VAT. I hope kids aren't given incomplete questions like that. Did Peter buy it online from an EU country? Might explain why they had no idea about the likely amount.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just done this maths quiz and got 29/30 I fucked up one by not reading the question properly. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/fun-stuff/whats-your-numeracy-age-take-7653465 I’m pissed off that it didn’t give me a maths age. By the way, pen and paper were used on some of the older age group questions but no calculators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 There are twenty eight grams in an imperial ounce, if Johnny buys a quarter of an ounce of cake mixture for £22.50 and divides into 1g cakes, how much profit will he make if each of these is sold for £5. Additional marks: How many times would Johnny need to do this procedure to regain his initial investment? Those are basic problems that any child of 13-14 worth their salt should be able to solve in an eyeblink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2021 Given Youri's level of information, they need not worry what an ounce is. However, some cunt coming at them with a large blade for their money and cakes is a different matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) They'll have used CDT skills to covert a steel airsoft gun to fire live rounds. It'd be good to bust at least one cap in an ass. If it blows off the hand of the defender then they should charge at their assailant brandishing their bloody stump shouting "I've got (bad) AIDS!

Moderators Carlos Posted January 27, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'm guessing that the extreme heat and fires you had last year impacted the insect population.

Just 'retire' at fifteen. If continuing trading beyond that age just keep a single cake and sell slices as and when required, cheesemonger stylee. If caught out claim the cake is for Percy. Foolproof. Edited January 27, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
