Maths Challenge Winner

March 21, 2014
Congratulations to the winner of this week's Maths Challenge 'The answer is 24 what is the question?' Answers ranged from the obvious (what's 23 + 1?) to the creative (add 3 weeks and 3 days), the hilarious (how old does Mr Grant wish he was?) to the bizarre (if I have 8 sheep with 3 legs how many sheep's legs do I have?). Well done to Yellow team captain who won a big bag of sweets for her elegant solution that displayed a good understanding of how to use brackets in a sum: (3x2) + (2x2) + (1x2) x 2

"I did the Maths Challenge just for fun and never thought I would win. I think everyone should give it a go. Good luck for next week, now I'm off to eat my sweets!"
