On Thursday the 16 of August, eight maths maniacs took part in a Mathix competition at Mot High.
The challenge was to answer all of the maths questions correctly. To make it even tougher, the rules were that teams were not allowed to get the next question until they had got the
previous one right.
There were two teams: Team A was made up of Seth, Mac, Daniel and Cameron and Team B, made up of Catherine, Kate, Jake and Peter.
The hall was buzzing with mathematicians talking through the problems and trying to get the answers first. It was not a very exciting spectator sport as the audience only had a spreadsheet, which was very hard to read, showing how many questions each team had answered correctly.
The two teams worked very hard and in the end the A team came 5th and the B team came 15th. A pretty good effort. Great team work guys!
