Christmas Quiz Question
«

December 19, 2014, 09:07:25 PM »
So they are doing a quiz in the Mrs work over last week, the compiler has already got one queston wrong. Doht, then these two get sent out yesterday I gave her the answer I thought it was but it was wrong but last night I googled it because we disagreed over the answer and from what I could find on the web my answer was right, I am urging her to logde an enquiry but she's a bit more timid than me and does't like to upset the applecart.
Q1: If five festive widget machines take five minutes to make five festive widgets, how many minutes would it take 100 of the same festive widget machines to make 100 festive widgets?
Q2: An agent buys a Tin of Celebrations (for our hungry team leader) and a small bar of Toblerone. The total cost of both is £11.00. The Celebrations cost exactly £10.00 more than the Toblerone. So how much does the Toblerone cost in pence?
>>> Now take the two answers and add them together to make...

How do you add an amount of money to an amount of time?
It's 5 minutes and 50p, if that helps.

How can it be 50p?
£11 total
Tob cost £1.00, (100pennies) which therefore makes the Celebrations exactly £10.00 more, for a total of £11?

No, that would be £9 more.
50p + £10.50

Of course.
I also made the other question 20minutes!?
each machine would make 1 per min, so in 1 min they had 5..2mins 10, so 20 for 100.

That's the trick.
Each machine takes five minutes to do its own one, so it doesn't matter how many there are, as long as there are the same number of tasks, it always takes five minutes.

The thing with those questions is you get them wrong once and then, once you know the trick, you get to look smug.
Obviously, this is where Kmac says I'm wrong...

Nah I obviously dicked it up and worked out 2nd part at a 100 and went for 105.
FFS. I hate these questions.

It's 5 minutes and 50p, if that helps.
It asks "how many minutes?". The answer is 5, not 5 minutes or that would be 5 minutes minutes......
It then asks for "the cost in pence?". Again the answer is 50 not 50 pence as that would be 50 pence pence......
Can't see the problem with the mismatched units when they specify that they want a number.

While we're in questions mode...
A driver is set the challenge of covering two laps of a one mile circuit at an average speed of 60mph.
At the end of lap one his average speed is 30mph.
How fast must he drive on the second lap in order to meet the challenge?
