Math Camp is a place were you can find out how smart you really are. You will be put into two teams and each day there will be a new problem. Here are the rules

1. Only time to pm is before a challenge.

2. No dicussing answer till every one has pmed me their answer.

3. The first team to pm all correct answers will

More rules will be posted later sing up now.

10 players min 20 players max

Ok ppl hurry and choose ur leaders. I will post a practise question very soon

[Guest]

sorry for taking so long with the pracise question.

Ok if x=5 the what does k=?

x=x-k

[kingofpain]

Ok if x=5 the what does k=?

x=x-k

If that equation is to be assumed, k = 0

I can also come up with answers like 12.5 and 9 if not.

Q is a bit vague

Cheers!

Ok going off of what we know k=0 and x=5 then whats does t=

k-x+t= 10

[kingofpain]

k-x+t= 10

15?

Algebra is not hard! And I personally feel these questions are a tad too easy for the people playing.

im in 8th grade and these qs are easy for me thats a little pathetic

[Guest]

Sorry, my PC was down Yep my TimeZone is +5:30 GMT

[grey cells]

So what are the teams ? Couldn't login until now .

I am sure SK will come out with much tougher ones . It wouldn't be a bad idea SK , if you had a quality math puzzle book and give those puzzles . Personally , I feel math questions take a little too much time to prepare by ourselves .

[Guest]

i have an amazing puzzle book

[Guest]

That was like a warm up that is not near wat the qs are

What a relief.... This topic keeps floating off the 'new puzzles page'!?

[Guest]

I am going to get a REALLY smart person to make a math problem

[Guest]

We are starting i will start posting in Math Camp

[Guest]

I know a lot of good math. I can help you, although I will not help my team. Should I?? Will logarithms work?

EDIT:typo

Actually, logarithms would not be that hard to make, we could use log tables, there are plenty on the internet!

how about continued fractions? complex number systems? absolute value theta angles? complex-imaginary trigonometric equations? matrices? vector fields? derivatives? integrals? sigma operations and other complicated operations? l33t riddles? all mixed together in uber-awesome math problems ;D

[kingofpain]

We need to do one of 2 things.

a) Limit ourselves to math puzzles which do not require formal math education.

b) Eliminate people who HAVE math education (like me) and have them frame questions instead.

Otherwise, a question like "Prove the Korselt criterion" would take me 5 minutes and a high schooler much longer simply because of the knowledge required (as opposed to pure mathematical skills)

Cheers!

Also do not use anything that can be cheated with a calculator. Edited July 18, 2008 by akaslickster

Start posting in Math Camp and please if you are not playing don not post usally i would let it slide but it is unreality and we know how much he hates ppl messing up games

I will play but I get to use a calculator. Yes?

Ok. THAT, I do not know. But I completely agree with Kingofpain. We should choose simpler problems.

im in middle school wat would take KOP 5 minutes would take me an hour but i am in honors math;)

That surely depends on the question. I daresay there are questions you can solve faster
