Vacation Day

It was vacation time, and so I decided to visit my cousin's home. What a grand time we had! In the mornings, we both would go for a jog. The evenings were spent on the tennis court. Tiring as these activities were, we could manage only one per day, i.e., either we went for a jog or played tennis each day. There were days when we felt lazy and stayed home all day long.

Now, there were 9 mornings when we did nothing, 9 evenings when we stayed at home, and a total of 6 days when we jogged or played tennis. For how many days did I stay at my cousin's place?

How to use images from Google

1. Go to advanced setting on Google.



2. Scroll to the bottom of the window to where it says usage rights. Change the settings to this:

3. Press the blue advanced search button. Now you are ready to search. Put in your keyword/s. I used moon cake.

4. Choose the photo you like by clicking on it. Then it will give you a photo like this. Click on "website for this image". Now copy (right click, copy). Paste it into a Word document (Ctrl +V or right click, paste)

5. Go back to the address line to copy the website. Copy the URL and paste on a word document.


6. If you right click on your photo in the Word document, you will get an option "insert caption". Say OK when the box pops up. You can use this to paste in your URL from the website. Also, if possible, find the photographer's name from the website and put it there too.
