    Yes, no caculators, only pen, pencil, ruler. I always bring my compass and set square just in case, but hush! ;)

    Nah, since there are still problems that I can't solve :o

    Ok, for example this one:

    Quote:

    A, B, C are digits. The 3-digit number ACB is divisible by 3, BAC is divisible
    By 4, BCA is divisible by 5, and CBA has an odd number of factors. Find ABC.

    I didn't solve it and had to view the solution... :(

    Only God does. ;)

    The poor nuns,they had their hands full with us.

    Country girls can get up too a lot of mischief in a mixed school.

    I hear that...

    Umm dividing by 5 looks like the clue since only a multiple of 5 or 10 will work, so if BCA divides by 5 then it must end with a 5 or a 0. So A must be a 5 or a 0.

    Am I on the right track?

    I learned a lot in school,and it had nothing to do with maths.

    Lots to do with strategy,for example,how to get dan o brian's attention away from the hound that was fiona tynan (names changes to protect the said hounds)

    And,how high can I get away with rolling up my shirt before the nuns lose the plot.

    And the classic, how do I get a sneaky smoke in before P.E,and how do I get to the disco on Friday!

    Thanks
    Yes and I have it picked out,

    It's in the summer so it isn't that soon. We've been together for 6 months if you don't count the few weeks we've broken up. It just feels right. And things in my family are pretty different from most families. My extended family is surprised I haven't been married off YET
