Flatmate wanted $200 Island Bay
It's all happening and our flatmate is moving out on the 25th of May. So we're looking for someone lovely to move in. We are a small family (me, female aged 43, twin daughters aged 10, one small non-shedding dog and a large fluffy cat). I'm a piano teacher so sometimes the lounge is occupied (Sundays, Monday afternoon/evening, Thursday afternoon) but there are two living areas - the kitchen/dining room is large and has a couch. Happy to share a meal once a week (I cook once, you cook once) or keep things separate. We're 2 minutes' walk from the no. 1 bus stop, 10 minutes' walk from the supermarket, butcher's cafes restaurants etc. and 20 minutes' walk from the beach. The house is pretty sunny with a garden area. The room available is a single - 3 metres x 2.75 metres - plenty of room for a single bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe, would fit a double bed but there'd be less room for furniture. $200 pw plus expenses. A later move-in date is also fine, if you know someone looking please pass on our info! Jess: 0204537777

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
