19. What has anyone got for this? The pics are: Beverley Knight; Wayne Rooney; William Shakespeare; and Children tobogganing. I'm struggling to find a link, except that none of them have scored a goal in the World Cup finals.  |

OK. Sledging, instead of tobogganing, offers more possibilities.

18. In Kirkland, the currency is the Topi, which is made up of 100 Tupis. On my last trip I went into a bank and asked to withdraw a specific number of Topis and Tupis. X Topis and Y Tupis. The bank teller misheard me and accidentally gave me Y Topis and X Tupis. I didn’t realise the mistake until I spent 20 Tupis on a large portion of chips. After spending the 20 Tupis, I counted my money and found I had exactly twice the amount of money I had initially asked to withdraw. Find X and Y. X=26 and Y=53 (Long answer below)
19. What links these pictures: Sister(s) (BEVERLY Knight; SCISSOR kick; SHAKESPEARE; SLEDGE)
20. Unscramble the two words: A A D G H L N O S S T V GOTHS & VANDALS
Q18 long answer:
As givenI wanted to withdraw 100X + Y Tupis.
But I got 100Y + X Tupis.
After spending 20 Tupis, I have double the amount I wanted to withdraw. Hence, the equation is
2 * (100X + Y) = 100Y + X - 20
200X + 2Y = 100Y +X - 20
199X - 98Y = -20
