Oh, and how do Aussies spell out they are physically tired (or sick and tired if that's not an American only thing)? Do you go to sleep when you're tired or tyred? When you're in your 60s, do you retyre? Or would that be more like a retread? heh

First post, but I didn't want to forgo any "points" for answering the question. I'm still waiting on my interview inquiry.

Oh stop it LOL

It is

TYRE not TIRE
COLOUR not COLOR
CENTRE not CENTER
MUM not MOM

When did the US start spelling things wrong

You are more than welcome to join in and play.

Just read the rules first.

Divide 250 by 11 which equals 22.8. Now when you combine the extra 8 scraps with the scraps you'll have from the 22 tyres, you'll have 30 more scraps. They will produce 2 more tyres; so the total additional tyres will be 24.
