I use a slightly different 'saving challenge', but I believe I also got it from ML some years ago.
Let's call it "£1 Monday, £2 Tuesday..." etc. Each week, from January 1, I save £1 on Mondays, £2 on Tuesdays etc, through to £7 on Sundays. The mathematicians among you will quickly see that's £28 every week! 28×52 weeks a year = £1456... but 7 (days) × 52 weeks is only 364 days, so add another £1 to £7, depending which day the year starts and ends on. 2024 being a Leap year, you get an 'extra' extra day, too!1 -
Please could I join in? Thank you 😊0
