• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

A couple of weeks ago, our Covid-19 Response Minister, Chris Hipkins made a gaffe at the daily news conference. When questioned about the trouble with social distancing while exercising, he said, "Look, I know it's hard to get out there and spread your legs." This, of course, went viral, and we've all been giggling about it for weeks. Yesterday he showed up at the news conference and took a sip from this mug:

Hmmm... I'd thought that the Apple must = 10 as 30 / 3 = 10.

18 - Apple (10) = 8 , 8/2 = 4, so Banana must = 4

If Banana (4) - Coconut = 2 then Coconut must = 2.

So, Coconut (2) + Apple (10) + Banana (4) = 16.

That's my math, but I may have missed something obvious. How'd you both make 14?
