One
dad was scratching his head at a maths problem his son got at school. The
puzzle, aimed at Year 5 students in Derbyshire, UK, has drawn a blank from even
pro problem solvers.
The
dad, 43, who got A-levels in maths in economics, said: “My son’s grandma had
spent a while helping him with his homework and most of it was straightforward
but this one question left her stumped.
I then spent an hour or so trying to
work it out but found it impossible. I even sent it to a friend who got a 1st
class degree in economics and they were baffled by it as well. A couple of
friends are maths teachers too so I’ve sent it to them but so far I’ve heard
nothing back.
I really do think it is impossible and it is certainly not
something a ten-year-old can answer. It just does not make sense.” Do have a
crack at it...
