5/10 is not bad for me although would have been 6 if not for the typo on 85 instead of 95!

Thank you Scott. Still think there are zero nines in 100 though. Technically five times MORE than 19 would be 114 because five times 19 is 95, and you still have the 19 to add because it's not part of the MORE bit

Post by scott on Jul 17, 2009 12:41:19 GMT
no because 95 as a number is 5 times more than 19, you have to look at the large number first ;-)
if you think there are 0 9's in 100 you need to get to work on your times table ;-) haha

The problem with question 5 is its ambigious terminology. In mathematical terms this would be phrased the following way for the answer to be 95:
What number is five times 19.
By using the phrases N times greater than X or N times more than X it could easily be interpreted as incremental mulitplication.
