DJ-1701 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) To begin with? 0 Before anyone says, yes I know it's trying to get the answer... 19 - 17 = 2 2 + 63 = 65 Just checked the twitter... some people think it's 46 Edited May 10, 2016 by DJ-1701
Popular Post FN-GM Posted May 10, 2016 Popular Post Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Plot twist - Northern Rail was running this service so it didn't actually turn up! 63 - 17 + 19 = 65 Edited May 10, 2016 by FN-GM 5
KibosJ Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 To begin with? 0 Before anyone says, yes I know it's trying to get the answer... 19 - 17 = 2 2 + 63 = 65 Just checked the twitter... some people think it's 46 It can't be anything other than 65 :S If you do the maths backwards: 65 people on the train minus the 19 that get off (46) plus the 17 that get on (63) If the answer were 46 then it just doesn't work. Is it too difficult for Year 2 maths? I'm not sure 1
6Foot2 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 ...Just checked the twitter... some people think it's 46 Some people are easily confused, it seems: 1
FN-GM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 When it says "How many people were on the train to begin with" does this include the driver?
DJ-1701 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 When it says "How many people were on the train to begin with" does this include the driver? There is a definitive number of 'people on the train' in the question, so this would include every person in the total. 1
elsiegee40 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 When it says "How many people were on the train to begin with" does this include the driver? There isn't a driver on the DLR 1
elsiegee40 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 There is a definitive number of 'people on the train' in the question, so this would include every person in the total. Absolutely, so the 63 would include the driver, the guard and any inspectors as well as passengers 1
Andrew_C Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 and the illegal immigrant holding on underneath? Does he/she count as "on the train"?
sparkeh Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 What about Baron Samedi sitting on the front of the engine? Does he count?
dry Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I'm a bit stuck. Could anyone tell me the colour of the train please? Thanks 1
6Foot2 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 ...Just checked the twitter... some people think it's 46 42. The answer is 42.
sted Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 that got me for a while I could of sworn it was 61 until I reread the question. This to me is more a question on exam technique than maths it seems to be there to see if you are paying attention
jinnantonnixx Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 To begin with? 0 Very good. You are Edward De Bono and I claim my £5.
GeekyPete Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 There is a definitive number of 'people on the train' in the question, so this would include every person in the total. If the Driver is indeed a person, the driver is included. If it's an AI and not a person then the driver is not included, either way the definitive number stands.
Andrew_C Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 "On the train" is ambiguous. You'd loose marks in the other tests for not spotting the 'illegal' UNDER the train.
sted Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 What's a Train? a train is an old sim city esque game with just trains in it 1
