Probably one of those trick questions they have on FTN quizcall or whatever it's called. Have you included the Roman Numerals you can see such as I X & V?
Well yes... I worked it out as 90 of course - WRONG said the Mint So it must be 590? WRONG said the Mint Add all the number in words - 172? WRONG said the Mint. 4240 - YES says the Mint. Proper confused, someone won £9000 with that answer! There was definitely no other info - it was on for ages so kept readin it through again... A level Maths and a year and a half of degree Maths and I'm well confused here! ff
Have you written down the question exactly eg does it say 600 or SIX HUNDRED </p> As matt says there is a catch but need to know exactly how the question was written</p> eg (600-60) divided by/6 could be 540 divided by 0.1666... = 3240</p>
Yep that's exactly how it was written All spelt out in words like that, in capitals. Looked at the Roman numerals idea but don't think that adds up.
