Last Math Mania for 2006-07

The "Telephone Code" puzzles are back

The Math Mania puzzles for May are another series of "telephone code" words. That is the unique puzzle form introduced last December, 2006.

This set of puzzles will be the last for the 2006-07 school year. Ms. Math Mania, teacher Amy Ruzicka, is going to take a summer vacation like you will in June, July and August.

Before trying to solve the May puzzles, be sure to look up the December, 2006, issue of Young Saint Louis.com. Go to the Math Mania section and read the description on how to figure the "telephone code" answers. (To find the issue, go to Past Stories at the top of the home page and then click on December, 2006. Then, come back to do the May puzzles.)

Before trying the May puzzles, you might like to check out the answers for the April Math Mania. Those questions involved "visual problem solving." For the names of winners and complete answers to the April puzzles, click here.

Rules for the May Math Mania contest entries continue the same. Each month, the contest calls for you to give answers to brainteasers based on numbers and math.

When submitting entries, print out the form attached to the May questions. If you answer all the questions correctly, you'll have a chance to win a $10 Borders book certificate.

Remember, fill out entry form carefully, including your name and home address. This is important so Young Saint Louis.com knows where to send the prize if you're a winner.

How to enter:

  1. Print out the following entry form.
  2. Fill out your name, address and telephone number. (Please print).
  3. Give your answers to the May "telephone code" questions.
  4. Put your completed entry into a stamped, addressed envelope.
  5. Mail your entry to:

    Math Mania Contest
    Young Saint Louis.com
    813 Rotherham Dr.
    Ballwin, Mo. 63011

(All entries must be postmarked by the 15th of the month to be eligible.)
