During 1340 what was the naval battle & who was involved?

 

[Mackka]

Would that be the Battle of Sluys between the French and The English during the reign of King Edward 111. It was the beginning of the 100 year war and England sent out 150-400 ships.

This one is Fun

Three ladies go to a restaurant for a snack. They receive a bill for $30. They each put $10 on the table, which the waiter collects and takes to the till. The cashier informs the waiter that the bill should only have been for $25 and returns $5 to the waiter in $1 coins. On the way back to the table the waiter realises that he cannot divide the coins equally between the ladies.

As they didnt know the total of the revised bill, he decides to put $2 in his own pocket and give each of the ladies $1

Now, each of the ladies paid $9. Three times 9 is 27. The waiter has $2 in his pocket. Two plus 27 is $29. The ladies originally handed over $30.

Where is the missing dollar?

 

[Mackka]

I think it goes like this.
The bill was $25 and he gave back $3 and kept $2 for himself. Making that $30, me thinks,maybe.
Good one Outback

Apparently there is shortage of eggs in Qld due to an outbreak of bird flu in Young last October. Question, how many eggs are consumed in Oz each year?
Cheers

[Mackka]

No takers?
Man on the radio said 400 Million Dozen per annum.
That's a lot of eggs.
Mackka

 

[Lancair]

392 million Dozen in 2011 or 213 per person per year. according to AEC, Australian Egg Corporation.

 

[Mackka]

Close enough for me Lancair, the forum is yours.

Statues of people on horseback, in parks and at monuments, reveal a fact about the person by the horses stance.

What is it?

 

[Outback]

How they died , like a code with the hoof position

 

[Lancair]

Outback has it, although lacking details

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Ask away Outback.

Thanks Lancair .

Make this simple incorrect equation mathematically correct by drawing one straight line either vertical horizontal or slanted but not effecting the equal sign .

6 + 8 + 2 + 5 = 655
