Daily puzzle!

[veggiechicken]

So only one of you has actually come up with an answer despite all the confidence tales earlier today!
What are you lot like?
The answer is - you let your friend go first. Then make sure that, however many coins your friend picks up, your choice makes the combined total to four. If you do this you will always win, as the number of coins remaining will always be divisible by 4. By the 5th go, there will be 4 coins left but your friend can only pick up 3, therefore you will always win.
Easy peasy!!

How many times can you subtract 2 from 222?

If it takes 5 men 6 hours to dig 7 holes, how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

Again say when you've solved them but don't post the answers to give everyone a chance to have a go

Aw! I was right, just didn't know about the "make four" thing!!!

Can I have a cake crumb????

Will look at today's puzzle when I get back from swimming; think I know the answer to the first one.....

[Bigmallly]

I would have a go but I don't know how big half a hole is...............it's either a hole or it isn't........I think.

[veggiechicken]

Is that a go or isn't it? and what about the first question?

It's too daft an answer for a go, as for the 1st question my other daft answer would be 1........

Argh!!! Brain hurts and goes into shutdown mode 5 men, 7 dwarfs, a partridge in a pear tree.....

The answer must be ... lots of cake!

Off to tend the garden, as it is SUNNY here today, but not set to last.

Does it count any that I got 70% on my first assignment of my Progagation course???? Just to prove I'm not a complete dunce (and am pretty pleased!).

[Mikey]

Are we digging soil, sand, jelly or ice cream?

The option will determine how hard I dig.

And please take the 222 away, I have the cricket on the box and can't stop doing a jig on 222.
