    Can you do this?
    Hi everyone, someone sent me one of these puzzles that she couldn't get the answers to (had managed some of them but these were left) I've been wracking my brains with no luck and she has given up but would love to know the answers. Does anyone have a clue please, if so can you let me know? Thanks for your help and good luck.
