Science Challenge
May 26th, 2008 by bazza
This is a place for Mrs McCartney to leave a comment on our science challenge that we have every week.
This week our challenge was to find out what was that oldest thing we will ever see.
Guess: A diamond found in Brizil
Answer: It is a star only seen in autumn.
This week our challenge is to find out how many squares are in a checkerboard all sizes.
Guess: 122
Answer:102
This week our science challenge is…
In the last holidays, my nephew came over to stay with me in Warrnambool. The weather was pretty bad, so we spent a lot of time indoors playing games…..but there was a sweetner attached to this fun, and we each earned a few yummy Bertie Beetles.
Everyday, at 11am we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost the game owed a Bertie Beetle to the other. After the last game we played (that was the day he had to leave), we counted the number of games each of us had won and lost. Drats! He had won more than me.
So, I handed him 18 Bertie Beetles… though I myself was the winner in 6 games.
How many days did my nephew spend at my house in Warrnambool?
Guess: 30
Answer: 32

Hey Bazza, I can really tell that you enjoy blogging. Your site is really cool, and well set out.
You have explained yourself very well here. Did you check out the correct answer for how many squares of all different sizes are on a checkerboard?
The Technomaths blog should actually be a Technoscience page I guess, for two reasons.
As strange as it sounds, Maths is a science (of sorts) and often I post science stuff on Technomaths.
Oh well.
Hey keep up the great blogging, and thanks for leaving a reply to the Bertie Beetle Battles problem!
