Answers for December "Fun with Math"
Ten winners for "planetary costs" puzzlers
Ten kids got all three answers correct in the December
"Fun with Math" puzzler concerning the costs of things on
three imaginary planets.
FM creator George Yu asked for you to figure out what things
cost on three different planets. And the costs were to be
figured out based on clues determined from characteristics
of the words.
The costs weren't in dollars and cents.
That sounds a little confusing but quite a number of you
figured out the various relationships.
There were 10 kids who got all correct answers.
To determine who should get the three $10 Borders gift certificates,
all 10 names were put in a hat and three were drawn out.
Those getting the gift certificates this month were: Malik
Hadjri, of St. Louis; Natasha Meinzen of Edwardsville,
IL, and Jacob Veitch of Edwardsville.
Others who got all answers correct were:
John Bentley of Edwardsville; Monica Chaven
of Edwardsville; Quentin Crane of Edwardsville; Michael
Kim of St. Louis; Danielle Kirsch of Edwardsville;
Durga Kullakanda of Maryland Heights, and Chad Turner
of Glen Carbon, IL.
