Can anyone help me with a work quiz?

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

My MD has just sent this quiz around:

The first person to reply via internal e-mail with the sum of the answers to the questions below can have the afternoon off from 13:00hrs.

After ? Mints

Furlongs in a mile

How many sides on an octagon

How many Kings named Henry

How many balls in a WEPF game

Days in the week according to the Beatles

? Songs for a mad King by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies

The Moyhil performs circumcision on the ? day after birth



Second prize to the person who can provide the significance of the integers that make the product.

Obviously I know the answers are all 8 but that's not right, nor is 64 apparently..... anyone know? I want a half day please

 

[tedebear]

Why would 64 not be right? Sorry to be useless here but unless you can interpret " sum of the answers" any other way...

 

[Frutos]

8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 = 1677216

Besides adding them all up, that's the next best thing I can think of.

 

[Les Biehn]

9 for the first one I reckon. AFTER 8 mints.

Get it.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

The answer is 56.8

7 8's plus an EIGTH (The Moyhil performs circumcision on the eigth day after birth)

Someone else got it

 

[Frutos]

Also, the 'Kings Named Henry' one might not be 8. Doesn't say anything about ENGLISH Kings named Henry...

 

[tedebear]

The answer is 56.8

7 8's plus an EIGHTH (The Moyhil performs circumcision on the eighth day after birth)

Someone else got it

Thats wrong - its 8th - not 1/8... Otherwise the circumcision would be within hours of the birth and its not....

Thats plain stupid...

 

[Hampden Park]

sides on an octogon = 16 (8 inside 8 outside)

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Thats wrong - its 8th - not 1/8... Otherwise the circumcision would be within hours of the birth and its not....

Thats plain stupid...

My MD IS plain stupid But that's the answer he took
No half day for me... I really 8 this quiz

 

[Cian]

An "eight" is .125 not .8. So its 56.125

 

[tedebear]

My MD IS plain stupid But that's the answer he took
No half day for me... I really 8 this quiz

What was the answer to the second part?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Actually it's 56.125

supposedly

Aren't there 16 balls in an 'eight ball' pool game.
- 7 of each type (colours/stripes/etc.)
- the black (eight ball)
- the cue ball

Making the answer 64.8 or 64.125 (depending upon your interpretation of the contentious 8th/eighth issue)
