erynthered Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yo put your answer in some light font, or I'm going to have to start calling you eryntheruinsmypuzzles. I colored it. Number 6 was the toughest. Once I got the first one the rest were easy, except 6 of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...number 6 was tough. I appreciate you coloring it, but I'm thinking navy blue wasn't exactly the best choice to blend in with the white background.

linksfiend Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 2. 20 ? #2 is: 18 Each of the 9 boys got 1 toy fixed in 9 minutes. So the extra boy (#10) would fix one extra toy (#10) in the same 9 minutes. Thus 20 toys would be double that time or 18 minutes #1 was tough for me. But hearing them read aloud made it easier than reading the words aloud myself. I went to Google Translate, translated from English to English, then hit the little "Listen to this translation" button. <example 1> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 2. 18 minutes. If 9 boys fix 9 toys in 9 minutes, that's 9 minutes for one fixed toy per boy. If 10 boys fix the first 10 toys in 9 minutes, they'll take another 9 minutes to fix the remaining 10 toys for a total of 18 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
