[SIZE="5"][SIZE="5"]Q1. My friend Monster, who sold carpets, said that if he h[/SIZE]ad to multiply two numbers together he usually squared their average instead. The answer was always too big but was near enough, he said. I told him that if he was all that keen on squaring instead of multiplying, he might as well do a little bit more and get the answer right. What else ought he to do?[/SIZE]
[SIZE="5"]Q2. Under the terms of a will six separate bequests, totalling £1,000 are made to three husbands and their three wives. The wives receive altogether £396, of which Maud gets £10 more than Mabel, and Martha gets £10 more than Maud. Of the husbands, Bill Brown gets twice as much as his wife, Henry Hobson gets the same as his wife, whilst John Jones gets 50% more than his wife. What are the full names of the three wives?[/SIZE]
[SIZE="5"]Q3. New number plates are required for the church hymn board. The board has spaces for four hymn numbers and the book in use contains 700 hymns. In working out the number of plates required, the vicar thriftily decides that the plates for the figure 6 can be inverted to serve for the figure 9. What is the least number of plates he has to buy?
