Mathex

On Wednesday some clever mathematicians went to mathex. Mathex is a competition were teams of 4 compete by answering 20 questions in the given amount of time. The given amount of time is 30 minutes but if someone answers all 20 questions correctly in 30 minutes then they would have stopped the clock. If you pass and you complete all the other questions you cannot go back to the passed question, you have to wait until either somebody stops the clock or the 30 minutes is up. I was in the year 5 age group and we got up to the last question but we just couldn't figure it out. We were panicking because we had been on the last question for 10 minutes and in the end we never got it. We were very nervous to hear the results and the man said that the winner was Fordell!!!! That's my team. So we won mathex. I had a very good time that night. Well done Fordell mathex team!!!
