Think of all Ruby's recorded song titles which contain a number; add the numbers up - what is the answer?
(N.B. Cardinal numbers only (e.g. one, two, three...), NOT ordinals (e.g. first, second, third...).)

Hi John,

How about 164?

Crikey! That's a hard one. I'm out of this, and I guess Sandy is as well! Are we allowed to (a) look up a list, and (b) use a calculator?

Hi John,
I will go for 163......But perhaps Don has included Little "One" to make up 164.

the others are actual numerical numbers in the title thats why I did not include "Little One"

Best Wishes

Well done, gentlemen! Both answers acceptable, as 'One' certainly can be counted as a number, although of course it is not used as such in this title - I wondered who would spot that! Am back from Spain now - sorry I didn't manage to get to see Bernie; I was working near Madrid.
