barleycorn Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I agree, such problem solving mirrors everyday life situations which contributes to lateral thinking. I am 37 years old and despite numerous visits to the post office I have never been faced with a situation in any way similar to the problem posed in the OP. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Ah, but have you ever sat the post office examination entrance test? Judging by some post offices I've been to it's the ones that fail who are given the jobs. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooky3 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 So what's the answer? It's been shown here that the question was wrong! Either way, whosoever is struggling with it have only got a primary understanding of basic maths (or worse!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
