Louise has invited 100 guests to her Labor Day party, and bought 100 paper cups.
To help her guests remember which one was theirs, she's decided
to have her husband, Ralph, write a number on each cup.

And all we'd like to know today is:
If Ralph writes all the numbers from 1 to 100 on thoses cups,
how many times will he write the number "9"?

Once!

Hi Bex, ((( Smiles )))

Good job Bex!
Now lets try this.
Now count all the nines on thoses cups.

Hiya Lynn

Um.... eleven?

I counted twenty of them. (don't forget 90, 91, 92, ..., 98 account for another 9 of them)

OUCH YES! I feel foolish...lol What on earth made me miss out the 90 - 99...

Oh Lynn Girl!

This is so cool ! I mean like, I had to get a pencil and paper to figure out how on earth, Denis came up with 20 , number nines! This is hysterical, indeed!

Yep! A real Wit Wrencher, indeed! LOL

Bex, don't feel lonely I missed it by a long shot as well. How about a COMMON COMBOS? Abishag <><

Thats why they call it a Wit-Wrencher, ((( Smiles )))

The answer is... 20 times.
But alot of people do say 11 times Bex, it's very common..
Thats the wrencher of it.
But not you Denis, right?
Your very good at this..

The next question is??
How many times did Ralph write double nines on thoses paper cups??

Hi, Lynn,

Does "66" count as a double nine when you turn it upside down?

Hi Beam Me Up Scotty, ((( Smiles )))

Thats so true..
Turn the cup upside down and thats what you get..
Double nines..
Your so smart!
Now if we can just put all thoses cups on the elevator with Gertrude and get them up to the 30th floor..
Instead of her carrying it up four floors..
Wonder why she has to walk anyway???
Anybody know??

Take Care
Lynn
