There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, and the only food she had for her ten children was six potatoes.
How did she make sure that each child had an equal share?

mash.

 

[desprateseagull]

They borrow one.

1/9 of 18 = 2
1/3 of 18 = 6
Half of 18 = 9

Total = 17

Then give it back

You have a a set of scales and 12 marbles. You know that one of the marbles is a different weight to the other eleven, but you don't know whether it's lighter or heavier.

How do you find the odd marble, with only THREE weighings?

Actually, not only do you need to find the odd marble, but you need to state whether it is heavier or lighter than the rest.

Eats one herself and gives each child a half?

I like the mash answer though.

With the numbers 123456789, make them add up to 100.
They must stay in the same order.
You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Remember, they have to stay in the same order !!!

123+45-67+8-9

Besides which, the guy expecting a third will have been diddled.

If someone asked me to divide up a third, a half and a ninth, I think I'd ask what he'd want to do with the remaining 18th.

Peter picked one pepper more than Paul. Pat picked one pepper more than Pam. Peter and Paul picked 10 more peppers than Pat and Pam. Peter, Paul, Pat and Pam picked 60 peppers. How many peppers did Peter pick?

Peter 18
Paul 17
= 35


Pat 13
Pam 12
= 25

35 + 25 = 60

I think?

 

[PCBEARDMLORD]

Peter 18
Paul 17
= 35


Pat 13
Pam 12
= 25

35 + 25 = 60

I think?

Nope, but check your answer and then read the question again...
