You might like to check your calculations. Have a word with your self and let me know if you've changed your mind.

Just a precaution.

Suppose I start arguing with myself over the answer, who's going to sort it out?

My alter ego

Ok then. But between me & thee, I'll stick with the answer supplied. Sofar at least. Let you know if I have a change of mind.

Or,

I'll swap you.

Give me a sentence that contains four identical conjunctions and is grammatically and logically correct and I'll supply the answer to your conundrum.

i spoke and i called and i sat and i stood.

and i sat down again.

Oops I was tired when set the problem it should have been more tightly defined as five consecutive adjacent conjunctions...

Have a free go.

....the number of days in a week less the number of days in a long month less than 1/5 of 10 times the square root of the number that is four less less than the number of days in a year?

The sentence is, mathamatically speaking, badly parsed. Read sequentiallly and ignoring the 'than' that doesn't make sense, the answer is minus 62.

Read as "the number of days in a week less (the number of days in a long month less than 1/5 of 10 times the square root of the number that is four less less than the number of days in a year) and the answer is zero.

Even that assumes the section in brackets is sequential. Put brackets elsewhere and you get another answer altogether!

Oh, that old chestnut!

Note from a typographer's manual:

There is too much space between "the horse" and "and" and "and" and "the cart".

No it wasn't. It was in the letter from the butchers Williamson and Sons to the sign writer complaining that the sign writer had left to much space between Williamson and "and" and "and" and Sons on their newly painted van side.

Work out the next number in each sequence. Then converting the numerical answer to an alphabetical(A = 1, B = 2 & so on) answer will give what word reading down?
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, .........
0, 3, 6, 9, 12, ........
3, 4, 6, 8, 12, .......
2, 3,5, 8,13, .........
110, 109, 105, 96, 80, 55, ..........
