Third Day’s Events
Wednesday September 20th, 2000
1. I overheard only one sentence from the
commentator before my TV set broke down amid STST sounds. The sentence
was:
"He **** well"
where the asterisks stand for a missing word (the number of asterisks does not necessarily reflect the number of letters in the missing word.) As spoken, the sentence could have referred to two quite different sports or areas of sport: one on dry land and one on water.Explain.
2. Identify this word from its centre:
****STST****.
Each asterisk stands for a missing letter
3. Rearrange the letters of BONDI COAST to make a single word:
4. The two-digit number 69 reads the same when turned upside down. Which two-digit number increases by the least non-zero amount when turned upside down?
5. How many rectangles are to be found all
in all in this plan of a badminton court? (Remember: a square
is also a rectangle)
