A little something to pass the time during the off season. Each Thursday (maybe Friday), I'll post a brainteaser on the forum. It's just a copy and paste from an e-newsletter that I get. No need to reply as the answer will be provided, along with the next brainteaser, the back end of next week. Enjoy! The first one is as follows:
John's warehouse is hosting a maths competition against warehouses in the same area. Each warehouse can only allow 10 employees to compete. John and his colleagues are taking tests to determine the 10 best people to send. John did well, but tied with James for the last spot. His manager decided to set-up a one-problem challenge, whoever got it right the fastest would win.
Knowing that "H" is equal to 10, and T is half of M, how could MATH be 42, TEAM be 40, and MEET be 37?
-
12?
-
Is it number 6?
-
M = 14
A = 11
T = 7
H = 10
E = 8
?
Got M and T the wrong way round.
-
After doing it once, then realising i hadn't read the question right!!
M=14
A=11
T=7
H=10
E=8
-
I think the biggest question here is why are these maths geniuses working in a warehouse?
-
Glad to see that it has generated a bit of interest but please note that answer, along with new brainteaser, will be supplied same(ish) time next week.
-
Lisa Stansfield?
-
Is the answer Boreham Wood? (Who are in the play-off final for the first time ever, by the way) ;)
-
wes borland and the limp bizkit massive? or 32 i don't know what the question was...
-
42
-
Let's go out on bikes!
-
thats a different question Marvin could work this out easy as he has a brain the size of a planet
-
H 10
E 8
M 14
A 11
T 7
How did others work it out - I cheated a bit using Excel and brute force!
-
MATH - TEAM = 2 so H - E = 2 so E is 8
M + 16 + T = 37 so M+T = 21 , T is half of M so T is 7 and M is 14
A is 11 from either Math or team.
-
Nith horth !
-
H 10
E 8
M 14
A 11
T 7

A grade B at GCSE works wonders don't you know... ;)
Student flagger is a student of mathematics and should therefore be classed as a cheat disqualified on such grounds. ;D

Its the number of crosses made by wrexham divided by Dean Saunders and put in their new budget.
-
This is worse than gunners11's poll.......is the answer Alty or BSP?

If A is 11, then it must stand for Arsenal - hence GUNNERS 11 !
-
I think we could do with gunners over the close season give me something to laugh at.
-
No disrespect but if you need Gunners11 to get you through the close season you need to get a life!
-
H 10
E 8
M 14
A 11
T 7
