Brain teasers

[Richard Brown]

This one relates to Scotland. I am afraid I don't remember the answer - well it's 45 years or so since I heard it!

A long climb for me. That's the mnemonic.

Again,any guesses?
The mnemonic was devised by my geography teacher, Mr Pass.
I have 2 alternative possible answers. I'm sure our Scottish contingent can help.

OK, here's another hint. Travel from west to east to get the majority of the answer. Come on you geographers you should be able to get this one!

Here's a new one.

Tell me what the following numbers relate to. A detailed breakdown of your answer would be nice.

97-99
88-91
90-93
92-95

Don't overdo the detail.

Richard! I've got 16 pages open, counties, maps, oceans....my head is thumping!

 

[MrLuke]

I've been staring at the pages of my atlas for about 30mins... Don't feel any closer to an answer.

OK, here's a clue to one of my teasers: -

It is United Kingdom related ...............


The teaser is: -

. Here's a UK themed one.

. No plan like yours to study history wisely.

. Q What does this relate to?

. Q What is the interpretation of the sentence?

I hope the extra clue helps

Right, the girlfriend has just looked at this and said....Easy!! Don't tell me your struggling with it...........no, I've just been sat here for 2 hours blowing bubbles and re-reading it about 2000 times.

I can see someone sleeping with the spiders in the shed tonight if she doesn't share some info LOL

You should be sent to The Tower, Rambler! . That's another hint! Some of them tended to do that.

The answer has a relationship with economic geography.

Arrange nine nines--that is arrange nine number nines in such a way they equal 100. No Googling, please.

(((9 x 9)+9) + ((9 x 9)+9) / 9) x 9/9

((81 + 9) + (81 + 9) / 9) x 1

(90 + (90 / 9)) x 1

(90 + 10) x 1

100 x 1

100

It should be possible to do it without the parenthesis, but I'm too lazy to figure that out.

Did I mention I am mathematically challenged!!!
Any chance of a non numerical brain teaser ??

Will try. My maths isn't that hot either.

Tooooooooooo complex.

Think fractions: How about 99 and 99/99=100 perhaps? 99/99=1 and 1+99=100

I'll leave that to someone else. There should be any number of solutions to this problem.

I'll have a crack at this tomorrow as a break from exam revision . Nothing like a good brain teaser.
