Quiz
Warm-up
MB-You have a cylindrical can of
the sort that baked beans are sold in.
You want to fill it exactly one
quarter full of water but you have
no measuring instrument and the
can is not graduated in any way
(though you can scratch it yourself
if you wish).
How should you proceed?
MB-You are traveling to the North
Pole by sled, but your huskies are
too enthusiastic and you overshoot
the Pole slightly. Will east be to
your left or right?
MB-This is Angela's first time in
the three-mile Fun Run, and she is
finding it a little tough. In fact she
has only just completed the first two
miles, and as she looks at her watch
she says to herself (breathlessly),
I'm only averaging four miles an
hour. Oh dear, I wanted to average
six miles per hour for this run - I
must go a bit faster. How fast will
she have to run the final mile in
order to get her average speed for
the whole Fun Run up to six miles
per hour?
MB-Jane Higgins was walking
down the high street when she
bumped into an old friend. "Hello, I
haven't seen or heard from you
since graduation back in 1982!" said
Jane, "what's happened to you?"
"Well, I got married in 1989 to
somebody you wouldn't know. This
is our son", said the friend who was
holding hands with a little boy.
"Hello and what's your name?" said
Jane to the boy.
"It's the same as Daddy's".
"Ah so it's Peter is it?" said Jane
How did Jane know?
MB-It is not too difficult to get
from TWO to SIX by changing one
letter at a time, each time making a
proper word, like this: TWO TOO
TOP TIP SIP SIX So TWO to SIX
can be done in five steps. FOUR to
FIVE takes longer. How many steps
do you need to turn FOUR into
FIVE? Can you do it with every
letter changing at least once,
including the F?
How about turning ONE into
TWO?
