Here is your challenge for this week (you can also click http://www.transum.org/software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/starter_November5.asp to see a more colourful version!)

FIREWORDS!!!

Firewords are Fireworks which display words in the night sky. You can buy Firewords to make any word but the cost depends on the letters in the word. A costs 1p, B costs 2p etc. Which Firewords will cost exactly £1 ?
You can use this table to help you:

For example: EXCELLENT = 5p + 24p + 3p + 5p + 12p + 12p + 5p + 14p + 20p = £1.00

For every word you make you can earn 5HPs! Leave a comment below with your answers.

    21p+1p+9p+7p+5p=43p 11p+5p+18p+14p+9p+3p+11p = 72p
    P + a + i + g + e K + e + r + n + i + c + k
    43 + 72 = 115p/£1.15p 115p-2p-1p-3p-11p-19p+15p+6p100p
    115=Paige Kernick b a c k s o
    All these words say Paige Kernick back of which actually is a sentence and equals 100p/£1.00p.
