In this quiz there are 5 sections of this quiz to be answered.
The section I am stuck on is Some sums based on numbers from the song 12 days of christmas. There are different versions, you need the 9 ladies dancing version (read carefully!)


6. pieces of silver Take Swans a swimming. Take is underlined.
7. Silver rings Times points on Star of David. Times is underlined . Can anyone please help.

[mahcaeh]

think number 7 could be wrong- is it not 5 gold rings x points on star of david?

[Cruciformist]

6. Pieces of silver could be pieces of eight. There were 7 swans a-swimming, so take away and you're left with 1.

[boxtops]

6

40 pieces of silver
7 swans

answer = 33

[The Builder]

30 pieces of silver Boxers?

[Flyhalf]

6. 23? Proverbial 30 pieces of silver, less (take AWAY) 7 swans.
7. Struggling with "silver" rings, but if mistaken for gold, it's 5 X 6 = 30.

[boxtops]

Yep, I was wrong, it's 30 - answer = 23

[Cruciformist]

If mahcaeh above is right, 5 gold rings multiplied (times) 6 points on Star of David = 30.
