James recently moved to his first brand new house. When he arrived there he 
discovered that the builder had forgotten something. 
 
James popped down to the local DIY shop to enquire about the prices. Luckily 
the items are quite cheap at the shop. 
 
7 cost £1.00, 10 cost £2.00 and 100 cost £3.00. What had the builder forgotten 
and how much will 210 cost?

The builder had forgotten the house numbers. The DIY shop charges £1.00 per 
digit, so 210 will cost £3.00.
