Maths pop quiz

6 04 2008

Some of our genius mathematicians went to the annual Sheffield Pop Quiz. They had a great time doing difficult maths problems; and brought along their parents - who also had a great time. The teams did very well and could very well have done even better…

Here’s a couple of the questions they answered:

I have a solid shape with five flat faces, eight edges and five corners. What is my shape?

I have a 6×6 times table grid. Sum all of the numbers on the L-R downhill diagonal.

Highlight the space after the colon to reveal the answers: square based pyramid & 91
