one for the cs boffins, cant work it out for the life of me, probably simple or im being stupid, question is:

"PENGUIN = 55
MOUSE = 35
CAT = 25
ELEPHANT = 65 ,

so what is LION worth? Find an animal worth 30 and one worth 95"


now i tried writing down everything, removing vowels, giving the letters numbers etc, also crossed my mind it might be scrabble numbers for letters but still cant work it out?

Lion is worth 30

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

its not for a prize or anything before you think, it was a fun quiz thing they had at work

the others are:

"which two important numbers in the Bible can be multiplied to make 645,354? (think: first and last)"




"show how to use all the numbers 1,2,4,5,5,50 and any combination of + - x / to create a total of 903"


and lastly


"a jar of honey costs £1.10. If the honey is worth £1 more then the glass jar, what is the honey worth?"

(((50-5) x 5) x 4) + (2+1)

Obviously many variants of that, like (4x5) x (50 - 5) + (2+1) etc

Minus the quid from £1.10 then half it, although do you need the equation for the honey question?

glass jar is worth 5p
honey is a pound more, so £1.05p
add them together and £1.10

You missed a bit in the equation. You need to take into account Lewis playing second fiddle to his team mate for most of the season before you can come to a viable solution.
