Oh yes! I've just worked out how you did that Callistemon - it would have made the answer to the third one 7 - am I right?

Now, of course, I'm trying to work out how Callistemon arrived at the middle answer by a different route. Seems I've set myself a second challenge now...

I'm here Miss!!! Sorry, I was just finishing up all the hot cross buns and chocolate before everyone else got here.

Anyway, the answer is 48 smile

I've only just got over yesterday's but that's because I left it until today!!

This took ages

I could see the 2nd one straight away but applying the same principle to No.1 didn't work so I had to keep going back to No. 2 to find a different way of getting the answer.

Then, applied to No. 3, I get:

48

Where have all my pupils gone?
Just because it's Easter, doesn't mean a day off.

Sorry, but I've just eaten all the creme eggs I bought as a treat. ?

Good morning class. I did try to find an Easter themed maths puzzle, but most were subject to copyright, so I couldn't post here.

I know the question talks circles, but they became ovals when I uploaded. That comment is to pre-empt any dispute about whether they are circles or ovals.
The important part is the calculation.

Could we please have the answers initially, then later have the process, to prove how it is done.
It means others can have a go.
