Conundrum 2

[said]

1. How do you write 20th December 2013 in five letters without using numbers?

2. What is the answer 2 + 2 x 2 - 2 + 2 = ?

3. If 1 = 5
2 = 25
3= 325
4 = 4325
5 = ?
3. A butchers assistant is 6ft.2 and takes a size 12 shoe? What does he weigh?

4. If Dad, Mum and Son's ages add in total to 70 years, and Dad is 6 times as old as his son. When will the son be half as old as his Dad?

5. On a lonely street there stands a bottle recycling bin. In that bin there is just one bottle. Every hour and on the hour people come and put a bottle in the bin. In one hour, a person comes along and puts a bottle in that bin, it is now midday. One hour later, two people come along and place a bottle each in the bin. In the next hour, four people come along and place a bottle each in the bin. For every hour, on the hour the doubling of people putting a bottle in the bin continues until 11pm when the bin is full.

3 letters - Dec-20-2013 = XII - XX - MMXIII

2. What is the answer 2 + 2 x 2 - 2 + 2 = ?

2 + 2 (4) x 2 (8) -2 (6) +2 = 8

Use BODMAS!

No, sorry! The answer to 1. is TODAY.
The answer to 2. is 6
What are the other answers?

Well, I thought I gave you them last week? Obviously not to your taste.
Or are you looking for Fallowfield's response? 🤔

HOW do you write that date in five letters. It is past that date - so you write it today.

One has been searching one's brain, but one still can't come up with a solution. One may well have to concede on this one! 🥇

If 1 = 5 then 5 must equal 1!

Here's one for you, a simple maths problem.
My gas meter is one which registers readings in 100 cubic feet, in order to work out the consumption costs I have to convert to metric and then adjust the volume correction which allows me to adjust the calorific value and then eventually convert from joules.
To convert 100 cu/f
x metric conversion
x volume correction
x calorific value
\3.6 convert from joules
This will give me my usage in kWh which I can then multiply by 2.6450 p\kWh
For example 100 x 2.83 x 1.02264 x 39.3 \ 3.6 = 3159.4 kWh

What would my consumption in kWh be if my meter reading is 225 units
