Ok, I know I've started another.
This one is hard though, and a bit silly.


101010 = 9.50

Add one straight line to the above to make it correct. As usual not equals is not an option.

All the best, Justy.

Invalid, not "silly".

9.50 = 9 1/2, NOT 9:50 O'Clock.

The puzzle did not say to add one straight line AND one dot.

Hehe, Roy,

Any that aren't invalid?

All the best, Justy.

Along those same lines; It should be 10 (un)til 10, not 10 TO 10.

10 TO 10 would be the score of a football game in which each team had kicked a field goal and scored a touchdown (w/extra point)... or one touchdown, a 2-point conversion, and a safety... or 2 field goals and 2 safeties... or 5 safeties. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Maybe that's just in the US.

I had English at school and I learned it should be "10 to 10". But this something you have to write, because you have the 0 and O, those are 2 different characters. (DUH!) http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

We really didn't like this one did we?

Ah well, I'll try better next time.

Hehe, I'll nip up to work now and get a hose for when the flaming starts? Joe King.

All the best, Justy.
