| Find the year of each of the events given. For each event's year, add up the numbers. If you arrive at one single number as a result (e.g., 1700 = 8) then that's it. If you get two numbers (e.g., 1999 = 28, or 1900 = 10, or 1802 = 11) then take the smaller number (including zero) from the larger to produce a single number or, if equal, zero (e.g., 1999 = 28 = 6, or 1900 = 10 = 1, or 1802 = 11 = 0). Four clues give four years and thus four single numbers and therefore a resulting year. What is the significant event on or starting in that year in Hull? |
| In the first case there is no order given to the questions. If you get the four numbers, you should be able to get the year and therefore the significant event in Hull. |
