      • I like Steves answer ^^^


        My hint......sweet -2 = ? ... explained = sweet 16 16 -2 = 14

        Working from the original question,compound maths gives us ..............

        (14+2) 16 + (14-2) 12 + (14x2) 28 + (14+2) 16 = 72

          How is it possible for two people to stand face to face on the same sheet of newspaper without being able to see each other or touch each other?
          Neither of them is blindfolded. Their hands are not tied. The sheet of newspaper has not been torn.

            BUT since I had made an error on the last line , putting a plus instead of a division sign the answer should have been
            16 + 2 = 18
            16 -2 = 14
            16 x 2 = 32
            16/2 = 8
            Total = 72

            I like Steve's answer the best too so he can give us all some more of his carrot cake please!!

              • They stand on the same sheet of newspaper at the same time. It would have to be a large sheet of newspaper to be big enough for 2 people's feet at once.

                  The sheet of newspaper has been slid under a closed door. The two people are standing facing the door like a couple of numpties for the purpose of your quiz.

                      It's a broadsheet. Do we still have broadsheet newspapers?

                                You were the real winner LottieD because your curtain idea would have worked just as well
