Also, prior to that, I had to let rip downstairs with air freshener (ok, my deodorant* as I don't actually *have* any air freshener) to get rid of the smell of rancid feet.

That's as comprehensible as most maths tests I've encountered.

PeteXXX has come closest, with an actual figure given in his answer.

I have some white Blu-Tac.
Surely, Trading Standards need to be informed!

Nah, they do grey Blutack these days as well

Answers please.

1/X(sqrt 2+ 1/7) where X is the weight of the hamster in Pennyweights will give you the amount of gravy you need in Thimbles.

What's the surface area of the hamster then?

What's the surface area of the hamster then?

4 π r^2

I'd need to know it's height in fag papers before I could calculate that.

 

[classic33]

4 π r^2

That's for a uniformly shaped object though

Mmmmmmm.... Did someone mention pi 🥧

Sometimes one has to make a reasonable assumption. A curled up hamster is largely spherical.

Otherwise, the calculation is 4π[((ab)1.6+(ac)1.6+(bc)1.6)/3](1/1.6)

I had that problem in Maths tests as well.

Maybe a simple maths test devised by me.
