"A T.V costs 356.42. How much will it cost after the V.A.T increase in January ?
Approx £363.99 I think!"
£356.42 / 117.5 = 3.033 x 120 = £364.003.
You think wrong. |

It is only 78 if you only get the gift once but as the song goes you get all the gifts again for that day i.e. on day 1 you get the 1 Partridge but by day 12 you have been given 12 Partidges and so on; so it is actually
12+22+30+36+40+42+42+40+36+30+22+12 = 364

"you have two sons, two fathers and a grandfather but only 3 apples, how do you give them an equal amount without cutting the apples?"
one each
explanation:
there are only 3 people
Grandfather is father of his son, and his son is father of his own son.
Grandfather is Grandfather (1 grandfather)
Grand father is also father of his son (1 son)
who is also father to his son (1 son)
seing as the father above is also the son of the grandfather
this equates 1 grandfather. 2 fathers ajnd two sons
