I think when you saw them they may have been doing what we in Aus sometimes call a John Farnham or A Farnsy.

Strumpet is probably the only other person that might make sense to.

18. Andrew is stranded on a desert island with just one 20oz bottle of Irn Bru, along with water from a stream . To make the Irn Bru last as long as possible, he decides to drink 1oz on the first day and fill the bottle back up with water. On the second day he will drink 2oz and refill the bottle. On day 3 he will drink 3oz and so on. By the time all the Irn Bru is gone, how much water has Andrew drunk? 190oz of water. (See below)

19. What connection links these pictures: All appear on the album cover of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

20. Unscramble the two connected words : A A C E G J L O O R T U JAGUAR & OCELOT

Maths workings:
It is given that the Andrew has 20oz bottle of Irn Bru.
Also, he will drink 1oz on the first day and refill the bottle with water,
will drink 2oz on the second day and refill the bottle,
will drink 3oz on the third day and refill the bottle,
and so on till 20th day.
Thus at the end of 20 days, he must have drunk
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... +18 + 19 + 20) = 210oz of liquid.

Out of that 210oz, 20oz is the Irn Bru which he had initially.

Hence, Andrew must have drunk 190oz of water.
