give me 7 uneven numbers added up to make a total of 30(you can use the same number as many times as you like)Cry

Well I suppose you want to know a variable which is mens holes per day, so hpd
(1.5* Hpd * 1.5) = 1.5 .. / by 1.5 =
(1.5 * Hpd) = 1

So Hpd = 2/3 so 2/3 of a day.

if you are trying to get the total 30 with 7 uneven numbers you are not allowed to use a pen.no cheating

If a 70s funk bassist dug a hole, just how groovy was that hole, cats?

Can't dig half a hole, it's either a whole hole or it's not a hole at all

I'm sure my maths is sound. Wait ..
1.5 * 2/3 * 1.5 = 1.5.
Yup, correct!

I tried to do the 30 thing in my head and quickly came to conclusion it's impossible?

Talking of digging holes I used to work for the P way on the Underground. Sometimes we used to have to dig out the ballast under the sleepers, we had an Irish lad called Dave who could dig for England.........or Ireland. He wouldn't even break a sweat. Often he'd say sit down you fat fxxk and finish my bed for me

A snail at the bottom of a 30 foot well crawls up 3 foot every day and slides down 2 foot every night. How many days does it take him to reach the top

I can do the 30 question with 8 numbers = 15+(13-11)+(9+7-5+3-1)=30.   Do I get a half mark for tryingWink

I *think* any combination of an uneven number of uneven numbers is always an uneven number,so it can never be ANY even number?
