MATHLETE FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

TEASER ONE: If it were two hours later, it would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later.
What time is it now?


TEASER TWO:At the local Sunday School meeting, the teacher brought in some puppies. There were 20 more children than puppies. In the corner of the room, within the ant's nest, there were exactly 10 times as many ants as children. In total, including the teacher, the children, the puppies and the ants, there were 1440 legs in the room. How many children attended



TEASER THREE:
A number of children are standing in a circle. They are evenly spaced and the 7th child is directly opposite the 18th child. How many children are there altogether?

  1. Greetings from Dubai! It was 23 degrees Celcius today! (that's POSITIVE 23!).

    Teaser 1: 9 pm!! That took a bit of thinking, but I got there. 2 hours later is 11 pm, which is 1 hour until midnight. 1 hour ahead is 10 pm, which is 2 hours until midnight. 1 hour is half of 2 hours! Yay!

    I'll leave the others for your next visitors! :)
