There are no plums in a pound of apples. The answer is 0.

[whiffey]

I bought some apples in Croydon market at the weekend and a rogue plum had slipped in. I only bought half a pound, so the answer is 2.

[Marijn]

Half a pound

[allanmabel]

depends whether you meet yourself coming back and don't put your foot in your mouth while putting your best foot forward,also how heavy empty bag of bananas will be with the oranges removed.

[phil04029]

[whiffey]

How on earth can you know how many oranges are in the bag of bananas if they've been removed !

[phil04029]

[Louisa 69]

Don't worry about it phil, it's looney...toones...time :)

[society]

You cannot walk bare feet with slippers on.
There are no plums in a pound of apple.

[phil04029]

well said society...wud appear were on the same wavelength...wheres perigra gom....does he/she have a solution for us?

[whiffey]

By ' bare feet ' is meant having no socks on, i.e. your feet are bare inside the slippers, in just the same way that underneath our clothes we are all naked.

[Louisa 69]

ok then Whiffey how do you explain the part where it takes a week to walk a fortnight ??

[squarebear]

"A fortnight" is the name of an area of his town. It is so long that it takes a week to walk it. :o)

[Louisa 69]

ah i see now, thanks squarebear. It's quite clever when you read it like that :))

The answer then is none. ( i think )

[dave2297]

7 days/2 bare feet x 1 fortnight over n apples to the power of y plums ........ hmmm

Yep - my Casio definitely says that the answer is a lemon
