The films are "Fantastic Four" and "Seven Samurai". The total is therefore 11. The film referred to in the clue is the original "Ocean's 11" starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jnr. and Peter Lawford.

2. Subtract "____ Mile" (2002) from "____ Things I Hate About You" (1999). Clue: A 2012 romantic comedy starring Chris Rock and Julie Delpy. It was a sequel to a 2007 film.

Answer: 2

The 2012 film was "2 Days in New York" and followed Marion, Julie's character, to New York where she met Mingus played by Chris Rock. Julie Delpy wrote, starred in and directed both films.

3. Divide "The Taking of Pelham ____" (1974) by "The ____ Stooges" (2012) and then add "____ Fine Day" (1996). Clue: A classic Busby Berkeley choreographed film from 1933 starring Bebe Daniels.

Answer: 42

The films are "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3", "The Three Stooges" and "One Fine Day". The answer is therefore (123/3) + 1 = 42. The clue relates to "42nd Street" which tells the story of a Broadway show being brought to the stage when an unknown, (played by Ruby Keeler), has to replace the star of the show (Daniels) who breaks her ankle on the eve of the show's opening night.

4. Multiply "The ____ Sense" (1999) by "Miracle on ____ Street" (1947) and divide the product by "The ____ State" (2001). Clue: A 1994 romantic comedy set in London.

Answer: 4

The films are "The Sixth Sense", "Miracle on 34th Street" and "The 51st State". The answer to the problem is therefore (6 x 34) / 51 = 4 and the clue refers to "Four Weddings and a Funeral" starring Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell which unsurprisingly involves four weddings and a funeral.

5. Subtract "The ____ Year-Old Virgin" from "____ Days at Peking" (1963). Clue: A 2001 thriller starring Robert De Niro and Ed Burns who play two investigators.

Answer: 15

The films are "55 Days at Peking" and "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" (2005) leading to an answer of 55 - 40 = 15. The clue relates to "15 Minutes". The film was originally set for release in spring 2001 but was held back until March 2001. It has to be said, it didn't do very well.

6. Add "Passenger ____" (1992) to "____ Men and a Little Lady" (1990) and then subtract "____ Jump Street" (2012). Clue: A classic Hitchcock film starring the great Robert Donat.

Answer: 39

The films are "Passenger 57", "Three Men and a Little Lady" and "21 Jump Street". The answer to the maths problem is therefore 57 + 3 - 21 = 39.

The film was first released in 1935, remade and released again in 1959, starring Kenneth More, and again in 1978, starring Robert Powell.

8. Add "____ Ventura: Pet Detective" (1994) to "____ Kings" (1999). Clue: A 2002 film about a young soldier accused of cowardice, starring Heath Ledger.

Answer: 4

The films are "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Three Kings". A nice simple problem with an answer of 1 + 3 = 4. The clue refers to "The Four Feathers" where the main character is ostracized by his friends and fianc� and has to earn their respect again.

9. Subtract "Around the World in ____ Days" (1956) and "Apollo ____" (1995) from "____ Dalmatians" (2000). Clue: A romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and a pregnant Julianne Moore.

Answer: 9

The films are: "Around the World in Eighty Days", "Apollo 13" and "102 Dalmatians". The year of release for the Dalmatians film is critical here to differentiate it from "101 Dalmatians". 102 - 80 - 13 = 9. The clue concerns "Nine Months" (1995) in which Grant's character has to reconsider his life options now that he is to become a father.

10. Multiply "Cheaper by the ____" (2003) and "____ Monkeys" (1995), divide the product by "____ Seconds" (1994) and then subtract "____ Graves to Cairo" (1943). Clue: A 1999 retelling of an epic 6th century Anglo-Saxon poem starring Antonio Banderas.

Answer: 13

The films are "Cheaper by the Dozen","Twelve Monkeys", "8 Seconds" and "Five Graves to Cairo". The answer to the question is therefore (12 x 12) / 8 - 5 = 18 - 5 = 13. The clue refers to "The 13th Warrior", which is loosely based on the epic poem "Beowulf", an American based version of "Beowulf", one of the oldest surviving piece of literature in the English Language.
