    It states quite clearly on the Ryanair website that only one item of baggage is allowed -

    "Strictly one item of cabin baggage per passenger (excluding infants) weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm is permitted. (handbag, briefcase, laptop, shop purchases, camera etc.) must be carried in your 1 permitted piece of cabin baggage" [/quote]

    If you stick to their strict terms you get a cheap flight, otherwise book BA.

    So How does This Work Then ?

    Looks impressive the first time!

    The number you finish up with is always a multiple of 9, so you'll see that 9, 18, 27 36 etc all contain the same item, the one you're "imagining". It changes to a different item each time but always in the 9's multiple boxes.

    Why 9? If you take the simplest example of a starting number of 10, the sum of the digits is 1, subtracted from 10 = 9. For every number greater than 10 you've added 1 to the sum of the digits but also increased the original number by, so you'll still get 9 when you subtract. I hope you followed that!

    Edit: Hmmm! Not quite right, you don't always get 9, but a multiple of 9! For example 43 gives 36, so it's the next lower multiple. I'm sure a mthematician will give a more concise answer!

    [quote user="NormanH"]I am reading it in French, which helps the points about style and grammar that she makes.

    The central literary conceit of the knowledgeable who pretend or appear not to be works to a point, but it was spoiled for me by prior knowledge that the author has been a philosophy teacher, so not in the situation of her central characters.

    To some extent it is a vehicle for her showing off her learning..
