The best I can come up with is 'luncheon vouchers' - which her clients used for payment in an attempt to get around the laws.  The Luncheon Voucher Company started up in 1955.  Probably too tenuous, though!

Luncheon Vouchers started in 1946, so I don't think its that.

Yeah, you're probably right.  It was only 'The Luncheon Voucher Company' that started in 55.  Like I said, probably too tenuous.

For 18. Can you use 'squared' as an operator? ie do 5^2 rather than 5*5 and only use one 5?

No idea, I never look at the maths question! Smiley I'll assume you can, it says any maths operator is allowed. (although I don't really know what this means exactly!)

Yes you can use squares and roots etc it would appear.

In that case think one answer is
55 + 5 = 60
60/5 = 12
12 + 5^2 = 37

so 5^2 + (55+5)/5 = 37

So, does that just leave Q19?  What does anyone have for the 3rd and 5th pics?
