TEASER # 1
During a recent trip to Scotland, I filled my petrol tank to the top, a total of
10 gallons. I travelled at 60 mph up the motorway and I knew that I could
average 40 miles per gallon. However, the moment I started, my petrol tank
developed a leak and four hours later I ground to a halt having run out of
petrol. How much petrol had I lost through the leak?
TEASER # 2
Dodgy Dave has been hired to paint the house numbers on a recently completed
housing estate. There are one hundred houses and therefore Dave has to paint all
of the numbers from 1 to 100. How many times will Dave have to paint the number
nine?
ANSWER # 1:
I had lost 4 gallons in total.
ANSWER # 2:
There are 20 nines to paint.
