Cost me 75p for a £200 prize. = Profit. :)

I wonder how many folks waste more money on playing fruit machines in the pub or horse racing, their weekly lottery ticket etc.

The retards are the ones who can't control their gambling, dear boy.

Just dont use the word profit :D Makes you sound a spastic in association with gambling. Its not a business, i hardly think you are a professional gambler.. One of my Pet peeves from hanging around will a bunch of Fruit machine dicks in my teens.

I just bought 80 tea bags from the corner shop reduced, im well up showing a tea profit.

I appreciate your complete smugness but just dont say profit...
 
Ok, i think the post is going off topic here (myself guilty of it too), its all very well discussing the morality and such like of gambling but what i actually asked for was an answer to the question............. :)

Yeah, sorry, but some people...... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I didn't watch it, don't know the answer, and as I said already wouldn't play that type of game as its far too difficult to work out.
 
Huh,answer is 4,unless they want to make it last a little longer then it could be whatever they decide it to be,4 times the word fox is used in that text.

Nope, answer aint 4 - that was dismissed on the show too
 
we could assume that they would have the average amount of kids, which in england is ~2.4 however then we be assuming they were humans, which ofc they have already done by giving them a monarchy/hierarchy and stating they make friends :p

therefore there are:
2+2.4+(10x2.4)+(25x2.4)this assumes that each of the 2.4 kids bring 10 friends and 25 footmen each
the answer is:88.4

or you could take it as the word 'foxes' in which case there are 4 instances of the word 'foxes'

or we could assume they are talking about the average size litter in relation to the fox kids, in which case this, according to wikipedia is an average of 5, but could be as large as 13 (this is of course if we also assume they are talking about red foxes) in which case the answer would range from:
182-470 (218, 254, 290, 326, 362, 398, 434)

:D i have waaaay to much free time...really should get on with that coursework that i have to hand in at the beginning of next week :eek: :o

Hmmm too much spare time lol - Also the answer is a whole number

I'm pretty certain the average number of kids isn't 2.4 any more :p
Thinks its 1.5 or there abouts.

no, cos you get these families with like 10+ kids, (they usually aren't of English ethnicity, but they have an English passport so it counts) that raise the average
 
King fox and Queen fox are taking their kids to the park.
The kids bring 10 fox friends and 25 fox footmen each.
What a palaver !
How many foxes ?

4? :confused:

Unless you know how many kids they have, you cant tell

pretty much nails it, that means the answer could be 38, then keep adding 36 (1 kid, 10 friends 25 footmen) infinately for each possible answer.

So, 38, 74, 110, 146, etc.. etc...

That doesn't even include reading them as words on TOP of the above or seperately or whatever. They might have no kids so the answer could even be 2, or 6 or anything they want it to be.

They only let someone win every now and then because they made say, £200'000 on calls and periodically let someone win £10'000 or something really smkall so the only winners are the show. The sooner they get banned, the better.

most foxes have a litter of 5, as covered in my post already, its so unlikely for them to have <5, purely because foxes have that many nipples to be blunt (well, six, but the other is for the king ofc :D)

How many foxes ?

I saw this on a late night tv quiz show last night and watched as dozens of people called in and got the answer wrong...............i have no idea what the answer is so if you know it i would like an explanation the your answer too. As i dont know the answer i obviously have no idea if your correct :eek:

5+35 = 40 ;)

oh an explanation - 5 is the number of times the word fox (or foxes appears) + 10 fox friends and 25 fox footmen = total number of foxes.
