Bertie Beetle Battles

In the last holidays, my nephew came over to stay with me in Warrnambool.  The weather was pretty bad, so we spent a lot of time indoors playing games…..but there was a sweetner attached to this fun, and we each earned a few yummy Bertie Beetles.

Everyday, at 11am we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost the game owed a Bertie  Beetle to the other. After the last game we played (that was the day he had to leave), we counted the number of games each of us had won and lost.   Drats! He had won more than me.

So, I handed him 18 Bertie Beetles… though I myself was the winner in 6 games.

How many days did my nephew spend at my house in Warrnambool?

The answer will be revealed at the end of the week….post your thoughts here at Technomaths and also on your maths page on your own blog.

And my answer is 24.
