After last week’s challenge, it is becoming more obvious that we have math brains in all grades, including primary. Last week’s problem was solved by Ronny in Grade 11 BUT also by Alice and Jenny in Grade 5 AND for the first time ever, a 4th grader solved the problem – Kate. Congratulations. This weeks challenge relies on geometry, logic and number theory. Enjoy.

Bugging Out is our new challenge. It takes logic, geometry and algebra to answer this question. The last challenge problem answers were (17,1),(34,2),(51,3),(68,4) and (85,5). It is absolutely amazing that it was solved by two 5th graders – Alice and Jenny. This problem was a high level high-school/college level number theory question! As usual, the first two students who solve the new problem and explain their answer will receive a nice reward.
