I realised at the end of this book that Enid blyton would have had a terrible career in maths. For reference, there are 250 girls in the school and 7 year groups (forms). That would mean 250/7 = 36(ish) and there are four houses so 36/4 = 9. So there should be 9 girls per house and 36 girls per form. As it stands, Darrell’s form alone has 13 girls. By using 13 as the new starting number we can figure out that 13x4=52 girls per year and 52x7= 364 girls in the whole school. Which is 114 more girls than 250 which is stated in every book before and after. Enid Blyton should pay more attention to detailÂ
