1. Susan’s mother has three children. The first is named April, the second is named May. What is the name of the third child?

2.






Try adding the above numbers up in your head as follows. Start by covering the bottom five numbers with your hand and adding up just the first two numbers. Then uncover them one at a time with your hand, adding one number at a time to the total until you have added all seven numbers.

What total have you got? Be careful though, although it sounds simple enough it might prove trickier than you think!

3. What letter completes this sequence?

W L C T ?

4. If too is pronounced too and two is also pronounced too, how should you pronounce the second day of the week?

5. Try this but think very hard about it.

Divide 100 by 1/2 and add 5.

What is the answer?

6. Can you name three consecutive days of the week without using the words Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday ?

7. Why are 2002 50pence coins worth more than 2001 50pence coins?


S	
    They are the initial letters of each word in the question
There are several ways of doing this, for example:	
    yesterday, today, tomorrow	
    Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day	
    lm1January 1, January 2, January 3
Monday!
4100	
    Many people get 5000 because when they add the final 20 to the total of the first six figures (4080) in their head they jump to 5000 instead of 4100

    100 divided by 1/2 is 200 not 50, as every 1 has two halves, therefore, 100 has 200 halves
2002 50pence coins = 2002 x £0.50 = £1001.00	
    2001 50pence coins = 2001 x £0.50 = £1000.50
