Ok now...for the solution. The clue is in "I had" and "I had another" and "How much did I have" If we put all of these together it tells the "real" amount prior to what "I had and I have" before all other amounts given. So £13+£7 equaling £20
Thanks for taking part...

SO, the question should have been 'how much did I have before I was given the £100 by those three'

A tad misleading because it depends on your definition of when the past becomes the present

Having got the correct answer I think I should own up to having cheated - I said that I used the well known BaconFries method, which was using a search engine. As many of you know, BF is a master at finding the answer of an obscure question and comes up with a reference to a webpage that others have failed to find. So that has taught me to search and search again before dashing to the forum for help. Thanks BF.

Your welcome Brian but in this instance I saw the answer via a post from a friend who asked it in FB so I kinda cheated a tad

A quickie for those who know cricket, no googling!!

Everyone is out first ball, what number batsman is not out?

Correct, well done!

I did have to use a pencil and paper and draw two wickets to get to the answer!

Yeah, it's not obvious is it.
I bet most people get their first answer wrong!
