Hello all! Hope you liked my Christmas tube quiz day one. If you missed it- check here for a quiz connected to London's tube map.
Today's fun family activity is connected to numbers with meanings! Take for example:
100 L on a C
Hmmm, 100 has lots of different associations. BUT 100 L on a C
Well, actually translated it is:
100 Legs on a centipede.
(technically, according to Wiki this is not so but I'm sure like me, you all believe the myth!)
So here is the rest of the quiz.
The number quiz round
Think historically, think mathematically, think cultural references- decipher what the letters mean in order for the phrase to make sense!
e.g. 4 C B in the T D of C = 4 calling birds in the twelve days of Christmas.
Or 100 C in a M = 100 centimetres in a metre
Clue:
10 G B H on the W
21: K to the D
24 B B in a P
12 D of C
100 D C= B P of W
1066 B of H
12 L of H
7 D S
7 W of the A W
52 C in a D of C
6 D of S
5 G R in the T D of C
1001 A N
366 D in a L Y
11 P in a F T
1760 Y in a M
14 P in a S
10 Y in a D
5 S on a P
13 in a B D
I have it as a Word document. Just leave me your e-mail address in the comments box if you want a copy of it (and the answers). I'll post the answers at a later date .
If you are unlucky enough to be stuck at work during the festive period with not much to do, also could be a good e-mail to send to friends!
Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think (and that includes you random person who was searching for a polka dot dress on google!)
Wearing: Emma Watson for People Tree dress, M&S Sequin jeans, Shooting stars handkerchief (worn as scarf) and shooting stars cinema handbag both Cath Kidston. Shoes- Tescos. (Lost for a year and then found in the electric cupboard where the electric metre and all the fuses are! Bizarre what one does to hide mess when trying to avoid the wrath of one's mother regarding said mess!)
