    Counting from zero to one hundred, how many times will you encounter the number seven?

    (10)
    (19)
    (20)
    (21)

    This is to be done mentally without pen, paper or computer or else your a cheating c**t <laugh>

    7,17,27,37,47,57,67,,87,97 as standalone numbers with seven in.

    Then 70-79 all have it in so thats 10.

    19 separate numbers in total but you have to include it twice for the number '77'.

    So 20, in total?

    I wish Toppy. If it hits 1.28 I'll be fixing my exchange rate for 12months. It dipped below 1.24 at close last night.

    Correct but you weren't supposed to write it out, 20 would have sufficed.

    Quick three questions..

    1. Who's the only European trainer to win races on four continents?
    2. Who's the only European trainer to win a division of the American Triple Crown?
    3. Who was the first woman to train a flat winner in the UK- after women were granted a licence?

    It might be Dermot Weld on the basis that he's won the Melbourne Cup and in the US. And obviously Europe. Don't know about the 4th continent though, I'd be looking at races in Asia and Dubai.
