Sorry weecalf but your description is wrong. There were 8 half crowns in an 'old' pond making it equal tp twelve and a half pence now.

[puternut]

pond making it equal tp twelve and a half pence now.

should read

'pound making it equal to twelve and a half pence now.'

Fat fingers

[pixie373]

Weecalf said "pence" in a half-crown, not half-crown in a pound?

[Jomlett]

Half crown was 2s 6p - 12p x 2 + 6p = 30p

[Ouzel]

Pennies rather then pence makes weecalf correct.

[elliemay1]

An old half crown was 2/6 which means 2 and a half shillings. There were 12 pence in an old shilling so 2/6 would be (2x12) +6=30. So weecalf IMO is correct.

[elliemay1]

Snap, jomlett!!

[Fibonacci]

Puternut - weecalf is correct
An old half crown was worth 2s and 6d (that's 24 + 6 = 30 'old' pennies).
and you are also correct that the quivalent in new pence is 12½p.

1 Has it anything to do with New Zealand??

[puternut]

Apologies to one and all (esp weecalf) I - as usual - misread the answer.

3 9=square root??

[elliemay1]

^ 9= square root of 3

[puternut]

But using 'pence' instead of 'pennies' seem to imply 'newpence' not 'old pennies'

[pixie373]

No, 3 is square root of 9 :-(

[elliemay1]

I meant that pixie! (Had a few glasses of vino!)
