  • "Could Anyone help me please, I have been reading all comments and found that many people are referring to extentions but I dont know where to find these. I am also wondering is there any answers to these, as I am always in a rush to get classes sorted and have no time to work these puzzles out!"

  • "I think there's more than 1 answer. It can be:
    4659+4659+4659=13977
    or 3659+3659+3659=10977
    or 8237+8237+8237=24711."
