Well, here's a slightly more difficult problem to try out (or so it might go).

Bill buys 20 colour pencils at the shops. He spends exactly $20 in total.

Red pencils are $4 each. Blue pencils are $0.25 each. Green pencils are $0.50 each.

If Bill bought at least one pencil of each colour, how many of each colour did Bill buy?

Having dinner with Little Miss 7 and there is a couple on there first date OMG he is a prick and has only just sat down... He is already saying what he doesn't want in a relationship and he doesn't want some one who sits on the computer at night. She has barely said a word...

Is that so bad?

I told potential Mrs JohnK early on that I didn't need someone to control my life or to tell me when I can and can't play golf. She's still with me or should that be I am still with her.

Indeed! Well spotted. Which raises the much more important question. $4 per pencil????? Steep.

First day of Autumn and received 70mm rain. This is more than the whole of Feb.

Also worked out that I had to reset the pump on the water tank ...

I would have said it's likely the cost of lead in pencils but the hollow is not lead anyway.

Isn't the phrase "It'll put lead in your pencil." ?
