1 + 2 + 8 does not equal 150

seems right to me??

Sorry Paul,
Can't allow any goofin here

The correct answer is :
142+8=150

I am glad you put me out of my misery there!

Careful Col - That kind of hateful remark is why Barry left us

I forgot, you don't allow people to express their observations and because it may not be the same as yours, you class it as a hateful remark. Nice. Glad democracy lives on in the USA

Drag us on down Col -

Drag us on down Col -

no need to, you class some of my observations as 'worthless' just because I may not have kids, now you say they're 'hateful' because it doesn't fall in your narrow minded path.

Because you haven't specified that the other half are not boys.

it is because all of them are boys, it did not say that the other half were not also boys

 

[Rich]

Half of seven is 3.5

 

[KalelGmoon]

Half of seven is 3.5

yes, but if you put two halves together you get 7, the original number. the riddle merely stated that half were boys. so it would be possible that the other half of the children were also boys. Thus making the original premise of half her children being boys correct.
Unless of course if you look at it genetically where you have x and y chromosomes and have 4 girls and 3 boys and technically with one of the girls x chromosomes she could be said to be half boy

 

[Rich]

Except that you can't have half a child

 

[Pauldohert]

There are 4 boys, 3 girls and the mother - half of these are boys.

No No

[Bodisathva]
