Transcript
Tess: OK now. It’s time for our quiz, as usual. Our players this time are Amy. Hi Amy.
Amy: (on phone) Hello
Tess: And Brandon. Hello Brandon.
Brandon: (on phone) Hi Tess.
Tess: Let’s start with you Amy. Where are you calling from?
Amy: From Leeds. I’m from Yorkshire.
Tess: And what do you do?
Amy: I’m studying to be a nurse. I’ve just started.
Tess: Oh. Are you enjoying it?
Amy: Yeah, it’s great so far.
Tess: OK. Great. Now how about you Brandon. Where are you calling from?
Brandon: I’m in Penzance in Cornwall.
Tess: Wow – the very tip of the country. I used to go to Cornwall on holiday when I was a kid.
Brandon: We still get loads of holidaymakers every year.
Tess: Well, it’s such a beautiful area. Anyway, we’ve got a new quiz for you this time – a numbers quiz. How are you with numbers Amy?
Amy: Well, I’ll do my best.
Tess: OK. Here’s what you have to do. You’re going to work together to answer some riddles. I’ll give you an example. There are 7 D in a W. Can you tell me what the ‘D’ and the ‘W’ stand for?
Brandon: Is it 7 days in a week?
Tess: OK, so you get the idea. Now, either of you can answer and if, together, you can get five correct answers, you both win a prize. OK you two?
Brandon & Amy: OK / Yes
Tess: So, here’s the first one. There are twelve M in a Y.
Amy: Twelve months in a year?
Tess: Well done! One out of one. Next one. Twenty-four H in a D.
Brandon: Twenty-four hours in a day.
Tess: That’s it. Two out of two. Three more to get. Next one. Sixty S in an M.
Brandon: It’s sixty seconds in a minute, isn’t it?
Tess: It is. Two more to get. Normally, there are 30 or 31 D in an M.
Amy: Days in a month?
Tess: Right! Four out of four. One more to get. Sixty M in an H.
Brandon: Sixty minutes in an hour!
Tess: Yes Well done you two! Five out of five. OK – you’ve both won a book token and we’ll be sending them to you very soon. Thanks for playing – and well done. Ravi – I’ve got one for you. Eleven P in an F T.
