Answers for last 2007 Math Mania
quiz
There were seven entrants in the final Math Mania
contest of 2007-08 who got all five of the Logic Puzzles correct.
With the end of the current school year either at hand or
soon to be finished, Ms. Math Mania, Ms. Amy
Ruzicka, is going to take a summer vacation like the rest

her for giving us some math fun during the school year. These
puzzles have two advantages over regular math classes: (1)
there's no regular grading and (2) you've had a chance to
win a Borders book certificate.
With seven all-correct answers, YSL.com is going to
award four $10 Border certificates.
The seven kids with all-correct answers were:
Christian Ayala, Colleen Crutsinger, Hannah Frederick,
Chris Lamb, Katharine Siemer, Joyce Vlashi and Ryan
Wahidi.
And the four randomly-selected certificate winners were:
Colleen Crutsinger, Chris Lamb, Katharine Siemer and
