If BAKERY is 225379 on a mobile phone key pad, which tasty items might you get with the following numbers?
1/- 276477268
2/- 27326 75423
3/- 2878273 8278
4/- 526 36844688
5/- 246265283 2253
Splits:
Can you re-arrange each of these sets of letter blocks to form a word?
1/- BR – AL – CHI – ON
2/- GNI – RE – SI – NG
3/- CO – CON – SE – UR
4/- CON – LS – VU – ED
5/- RA – SAX – GE – IF
Mental Maths:
Without using a calculator, or writing anything down, see if you can carry this sum through to a final total.
Multiply the cards of one suit in a deck of playing cards by the runners in an Olympic 100 metres final. Add the number of vowels in the word RHINOCEROS and double your total. Divide that result by three (3) squared. What is 25% of your total?
Mix & Match:
These letters in each case can be re-arranged to spell either an English county or a South American country.
1/- VIOLABI 6/- OVEND
2/- KLONFOR 7/- CAREDUO
3/- HICLE 8/- REGAINANT
4/- CABOILOM 9/- MISHAPHER
5/- YESRUR 10/- SORTED
Work Out:
Here’s one to solve as quickly as you ca. What number must replace the question mark to make each calculation work? Solve from left to right.
1/- 2 x ? – 7 = 15
2/- ? + 9 ÷ 2 = 6
3/- 18 + 11 – ? = 14
4/- 20 ÷ 4 x 7 = 22 + ?
5/- 16 + ? ÷ 3 = 15 x 2 – 19
Ready and Able:
The letters in - NIP IN CHESTER MUM – can be arranged to spell two words that form a common phrase with the word AND in between them.
IE: TOM and JERRY; BACON and EGGS. Are you READY and ABLE to find them?
Take Two:
Each word in a clue can be preceded by the same two letters to make three new words. The three pairs of letters will then spell out another six letter word. What is it?
1/- Cape * Say * Chew ? ?
2/- Lent * Bard * Riff ? ?
3/- Epee * Net * Sty ? ?

Mental Maths:
13 x 8 = 104
104 + 4 = 108
108 x 2 = 216
216 ÷ by 9 = 24.
25% of 24 = 6.
