Monday's answer

You will know that Andy's journey lasted 3 weeks and we are looking for the answer that is closest

He travelled a total distance of 1175km or 730 miles

The most accurate answer is c) 400km per week

        400km per week x 3 = 1200km which is only 25 km more than 1175 the real distance walked

Key fact to spot in this problem is  time taken is always 6 minutes  -  6 minutes is one tenth of 1 hour

To find the answer you divide or multiply by 10

2. Missing value is 600 (kph)         ( 60 x 10 )

Friday's answer

We think the BBC have made a maths mistake!

If Doctor Who started in the 1960's and lasted 33 years then the last episode could not have been seen in 1989 - the longest run then would have been 29 years at the most! When did Doctor Who start?
