MONDAY MATHS - WHICH DO YOU LIKE BEST?

.

Which is your favourite way to make 10?

.
There's a list to click in the margin - but don't feel limited by it. If you like like a different way better - then say so!

.

There's something about some numbers which make them more attractive than others, inhabit surprising slots in our minds. It's the same with words. If you live somewhere where bananas are mostly yellow, you might say the word 'banana' is yellow (at least at first thought) but, whether your bananas are yellow or red or have gone past their best and are spotty and black, the word 'banana' may bring to mind green - even if you've never seen a green banana. For me, the word 'banana' is yellow. But this is chance. For someone else, it might be blue.

Children sometimes ask 'which is your lucky number?'. They can be quite persistant about this! Answers might be supported by reasons like 'It's my birthday', or 'My house number' . . . but that's not what I'm getting at here. I'm asking which number combinations do you like by instinct, or sense of beauty or . . .

.

I know which mine is in this list.

.

What about you?

.

Remember, the list isn't exhaustive.

.

It has just started to pelt down with rain. That'll be the end of my lupins and hyssop.

.

Here they are again. (They look ugly in the list in the side-bar.)

.

(Nor does the list always materialise.)

(Though it does slow down the loading of the blog. I'll take it away after a week.)

0 + 10 = 10
10 + 0 = 10
1 + 9 = 10
9 + 1 = 10
2 + 8 = 10
8 + 2 = 10
3 + 7 = 10
7 + 3 = 10
4 + 6 = 10
6 + 4 = 10
5 + 5 = 10

.

P.S. There's no reason to ask this question - except that it's Monday.
