Everyone who sent in solutions from Moorfield Junior School, Stockport agreed that the must be "2 spiders and 1 fly are needed to make 22 legs creeping across the web." It is interesting to see the different ways of working this out.

Adam Fellows and Abigail James
2 spiders =16 legs (2 x 8 =16)
1 fly = 6 legs
16 + 6 = 22.

Christopher Barratt and Richard Frost
"We doubled 8 which made 16,and we thought about the difference between 16 and 22 and the answer was 6,so we added on a fly".

James Knott and Luke Pilsbury
6 + 8 = 14 14 + 8 = 22.

Adam Knowles and Anthony Hayward
2 times 8 =16 = 2 Spiders
1 times 6 = 6 = 1 Fly
16 + 6 = 22
