I'm having a great time playing on my daughters DSi on Prof Laytons Curius Village. For those that like puzzles....


1. On an analogue clock. How many times does the minute hand cross the hour hand between 12 noon and 12 midnight?

2. A market trader is offering a camera and case for £310. The camera costs £300 more than the case. A guy wishes to buy the case only and gives the trader £100. How much change should he get in return?

11 and 95

Superb game. 2000 years old, simple rules, incredible strategies. In my view it makes chess appear like Kaplunk

We had a 'Go Club' at my school, it wasn't heavily attended. The few kids that did attend, they seemed to use it as an escape to beat the bullies at dinner time & after school, rather than running the gauntlet, they'd play Go.

That's a shocking claim, to say that wires 71 was bullies at school.

I was bullied. Still I got my own back years later.
