I FOLLOWED B Jackson’s suggestion (Echo, October 12) by asking my spaniel, Alfie the square root of 78.
He thought for some moments, eyebrows moving furiously before answering with a woof.
Clearly he had an answer.
Whilst dogs may understand humans, unfortunately this human is not fluent in dog so I will never know if Alfie got the question right.
