Missing Link...
A little quiz for Friday. If it costs a penny to break a link, and two pence to weld it again, what is the least it would cost to join in a single length of chain the five segments shown here?
Correct answer? 9p. Break open each one of the pieces of a single three-link chain completely (3p) and rejoin each through two other ends (6p). Well done all those who go it correct.
15p?
ReplyDelete12p??
ReplyDeleteAny advance on 12p?
ReplyDelete9p
ReplyDelete15p?
ReplyDeleteMost definitely 9p.
ReplyDeleteIt's 12p! It is!
ReplyDeleteI go for 9p
ReplyDelete10p
ReplyDeleteWe need to know if the links are already open or closed first.....
ReplyDeleteThey are all small lengths of closed three link chain.
