[teacher1]

I agree with sarumite.

[Dee-M-See]

I got the answer to 48
13 across the top and bottom
And 11 on each side
but I havn't got any faith in my maths
Thanks for your answers

Hi Magyar .. whilst you're about I would like to thank you again for the quiz questions etc that you kindly forwarded to me last year. I have made good use of them and will be using the sheet of Dingbats as an add on to my next quiz on 31st March.
Best wishes (S)

Just to clarify why it is 48. Each side must be 60 metres long, if there is a post in each corner then for each side there must be an additional eleven posts at 5 metres apart.

[teacher1]

I've changed my mind. I now agree with Magyar.

[sarumite]

Yes it is 48 .. I was too quick with my answer and should have been more careful ;0(

[Magyar]

Hi sarumite. I'm glad that you were able to make use of them. I'll bear you in mind when I set more for the friendly pub quizzes later in the year.

[sarumite]

Thanks Magyar .. if you wish I can also send you copies of my recent quiz questions.

[Magyar]

That would be great sarumite. I'll send you an e-mail though as I've had to change my old e-mail address due to my ISP going bust !!!

[sarumite]

My e-mail address remains as previous, so I will leave things in your court for the time being Magyar.
Cheers (S)

[Magyar]

E-mail on it's way sarumite.
