Maths Made Interesting

[Ian]

We've had a few of these BBC quizes, but this one has some surprising maths questions

I liked the one about the bear the best

 

[Nobody in particular]

Good find Ian - I did crap on it lol, I only got 1 right

Maths is finally a bit more interesting lol.

2 out of 6 for me.

 

[Taffycat]

2 out of 6 for me also ... but in this case it's good, because I always have been lousy at maths!

 

[Madxgraphics]

I did crap to, only got one right...

 

[Anon_F]

I'm so glad others got only 1 right, so did I.

 

[nivrip]

I'm a real smart ass, I got 3 right (partly by guessing).

Couldn't believe the one about the string around the world but when I actually worked it out properly it's right.

 

[floppybootstomp]

I got three, I figured out the bear one ok but got the sock one wrong which is damned annoying cos it's so obvious when you think about it

 

[Rush]

Got 3

 

[BigJay]

3 for me too!

......and I got the mirror question wrong, and I'm still not convinced that I was wrong?

Good questions tho'.

I'm glad you said that Jay, because I was thinking the same thing... and have been practising too, using one of the mirrors here. I could actually see more of me when I moved back a few feet, than when I was up close... so still puzzled over that one

4-6: Clean pair of socks (5/6)

But that's only cos I still remembered some of the answers from A-level Maths.
Yeah I know... surprised me also..... I remembered something from school.

 

[Abarbarian]

Two for me, at least I'll have a pair of socks on when the bear eats me.
