Zee first one is eazy to getting you started.
Who painted zees painting in blue? A clue: Zere was a song zat started "Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and gray ..." by Don ze McLean about zees artist.
Now anozer zee quiz for you:
OK ... zee grey cells are doing zee working. 'Ere is another question:
No idea? Eet eez a close-up photo of my ginger cat. Veree close up!
OK ... an eazy one zees time. Write down what do you see in zees picture.
Can you spot ten differences between zees two pictures?
Alors mes amis ... you do not know zee answer? Zen stand on your 'ead!
If you got it right, you deserve a banana.
Here is the algebra for those of you more clever than me:
R+C+D=X
R+C=10
R+D=20
D+C=24
D=24-C
R+24-C=20
R+4=C
R+C=10
C=10-R
R+4=10-R
2R=6
R=3
C=10-3=7
D=20-3=17
D+C+R=X
17+7+3=27 KG!
And now a final one to keep the brain working:
What is the name of the driver?
...this is just too much thinking for me so early in the morning!
ReplyDeleteTry again later in the day, Tom.
DeleteGod bless.
All I could work out Victor was the name of the driver. I believe he is called Bizzy Man.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. You must have seen this quiz before!
DeleteGod bless, Brenda.
I gave up, but I do like Groucho and the monkeys! Thanks for the brainwork, however 'je ne parl pa.' Not sure of that, I only had one year of French and Sherry was in front of me and I was distracted.....
ReplyDeleteLove from over here...
Sherry & jack
Wow ... distracted by Sherry. Lucky man!
DeleteGod bless you Jack, and Sherry too.
PS: Driver's name is Pierre or George!
ReplyDeleteYes, he has many aliases I understand.
DeleteGod bless always, Jack.
The bus driver's name is Crazy Ed!
ReplyDeleteYes, that too. As well as Pierre and George and Bizzy Man.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
That's okay, I don't really like bananas anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the bus driver was Vincent's second cousin, twice removed?
Yes Vincent, as sung by Don McLean. A great song in its time.
DeleteGod bless, Mevely.
I got the 27, the Bus drivers name is Mac...aren't all bus drivers named Mac?
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting the "27", JoeH. You are cleverer than I. I did not get it and had to have the algebra explained to me step by step.
DeleteI guess there are a lot of Macs in Scotland.
God bless.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteYou're quite talented for getting all those moving images in this post!
Hah, Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night was the easiest to look at here!
As for the weight of your 7 kg cat; that is a monster-size... WOW. We have our tiny Tiggy-Tiger who is below 4 kg and her siblings are just a bit above that.
Every time you try to phonetically write in French, I smile as I think about my French Canadian friend from Québec whom I took to Atlanta for shopping. She tried so hard at the World Market to order some meats. She kept saying I would like to 'ave' 'alf' a pound... The guy behind the counter was also a foreigner trying to work his first job! So I had to rescue her.
Later in the car we laughed as we discussed the silent 'h'. Things can be very odd.
Hugs,
Mariette
You are right, a 7Kg cat is quite big. This is a problem I was given by a friend and I could not solve it. I was never good at algebra.
DeleteI like the phonetic French accent; like Hercules Poirot on TV. Did you have the Agatha Christie series on TV in the States?
God bless always, Mariette.
Victor, we might have had it in the USA but both of us were never at home with our 1,500,000 miles in the air on our route to work worldwide. We both are illiterate in any movies as we never watch any. We love historic movies and about nature, that we bought as video or else. We also are illiterate in sports. As an outsider it very much resembles the biblical 'golden calf'... People worship it above all else! Glad we're on the outside! Hugs,
DeleteMariette
Wow ... that's a lot of travelling. Very brave and adventurous.
DeleteBest wishes always. God bless.
NOT traveling but just commuting back and forth to work... no VACATION! 😉
DeleteIf i'm the driver, then the driver's name is mimi!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I never thought of that.
DeleteGod bless you, Mimi.
Algebra??? Tsk, my brain doesn't work that way. It barely works at all.
ReplyDeleteI love the laughing chimpanzee at the end.
He is laughing because he knew all the answers!
DeleteGod bless, River.
