Weekend 4-5th April 2020
Lockdown in the Sun
Just in from Dave M..being very brave...
A golfer came home from a round of
golf. It was his fifth round of golf in five days, and his wife had left a note
on the fridge.
“It’s not working, I can’t take it anymore!” she wrote. “Gone to
stay with my mother.”
He opened the fridge, the light came on and the beer was cold.
He said to himself, “What the hell is she talking about?”
So, that math's question below...I failed to spot the Man had changed in equation 3..but Jimmy Mac got close but his 48 meant he multiplied too late...but he is Married to Linda, a fellow Golfer and of course a Teacher …
So he has changed...Each shoe = 5
Man=5
Each cone of popcorn =2
In the final line the man is wearing shoes, holding 2 cones of popcorn so the sum is equal to
5+(5+4+10) x2 = 43
From Dave W : " I questioned that answer as I thought it was 48. "
Answer back
Brackets and then x has priority over +
This is known as BIDMAS
( it was BODMAS in our Days)
BRACKETS
INDICES (Orders)
DIVISION
MULTIPLICATION
ADDITION
SUBTRACTION
OK that's enough education, let's have some fun on this Sunday Morning...
Thank's Clive..
Plenty from Ed again..this one's in black & White but very clever...
Fred and Harry were playing their usual
weekend match on the links and were annoyed by an unusually slow twosome in
front of them.
One of them
was marching around on the fairway while the other was searching
distractedly in the tall rough that framed the hole.
“Hey,”
shouted Fred, “why don’t you help your friend find his ball?”
“He’s got his
ball,” came the reply. “It’s his club he’s looking for.”
Dave M.and another...good ending...
The Government is really concerned about the effect of the sunshine on the residents of this beautiful County, but listen the dialogue of the video below and see how one person's actions can influence a whole Country..

So jumping into your car today, having an accident, calling the AA, pulling into a Petrol Station - you could set off a whole new chain, kill some friends and stop Golf for another Month..so please think about it.
Put a bottle of Prosecco in the Fridge, dust off the Chair Covers and stay in your Garden.
Before we start on some of the fun stuff today, let's congratulate Bert & Marian Robinson who celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary Today, having wedded in 1960.
By co-incidence I had a call from Geoff Dean Yesterday - it's nice to talk - have you phoned anyone ?
He has just cancelled his own 60th Anniversary plans , where he has booked the Grand Hotel in Jersey to try and re-create their Honeymoon in May 1960. When he first voiced the idea to Janice, she smiled demurely and said " You were also a bit of a Bell-Ringer back then from what I remember....!"
Geoff is a Campanologist at St Mary's in Chard.
Dave W is still providing lots of input. Here is an algebraic teaser that he says is trick, but If the answer is one short of a Baker's , then it was rather easy..is there a catch ?
How the Police are dealing with those out on the Road breaking isolation...
And a few Pranks from around the World....
Here's one from James...how the Eyes control the Mind...
Hey John
I want to put up a puzzle on the blog about how many F's they can count in a sentence. It will be interesting to see the answers by age and how they differ. In fact it will be interesting to see how many count different number with each read
Count every " F " in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
Is it 3, 4 or more?
Wait for 1 minute and read it again for a total of 5 times. Text all 5 counts to 07810 880530 and your age
For example
4, 3, 3, 5, 4, 68

Roger has been busy in Shepton Beauchamp - creating his own PPE in his workshop....
Simple idea, just using Kitchen Roll, elastic bands and staples...and of course wiping your bum with it afterwards double the practicality ..but mind those staples.
