Welcome back to reality!! YEAH!

Hi guys!

I very much hope you've had an amazing week! Are you 100% ready for the next month?? :D

I've been skiing 250 km these past few days in Saarselka (North Finland, Lapland) with some friends. 

It has also been great to see the Baltic Sea completely frozen! O_o

The Problem with the Hourglass

Some students have to take a test in 9 minutes. Due to an electromagnetic pulse, every watch has stopped working and we only have two hourglasses to measure time.

These two hourglasses (the only ones we have in the high-school) last for 7’ the first one and 4’ the second one. 

How can we measure exactly 9 minutes (neither one second longer, nor shorter) using these hourglasses?

Tip: try to start both hourglasses at the same time. What happens after exactly 4 minutes?

Deadline: October the 25th.

And we continue with the 90's...

Ismael's Problem

Ismael visits a one-floor castle with 64 rooms connected as described in the image below. He starts in the bathroom (the black square) and since he feels sooooo relieved he wants to visit the 64 rooms using only 15 straight lines.

Would you be able to help Ismael and draw a path for him starting at the balck square and using only 15 different lines ( without removing the pencil from the sheet) so he manages to visit the 64 rooms?

Watch it: You MUST start your trip from the black spot, but you can finish it wherever you want. Notice there’s one missing connection between two towns at the bottom of the drawing. 

Deadline: October the 11th

The Problem with The Sports

We move from the peaks of the Pyrenees to the Valley… In 6 months some of you will face some of your worst fears in the Green Week (heights, rafting, arborism, rappelling…) Let’s see if you manage to survive those hazardous situations!

If we analyze what happened last year, I was in charge of 30 kids…

- 16 of them did the Rafting Activity, 14 of them the Rappelling activity and 13 of them the arborism activity.

- 6 people did the Rafting and Rappelling activities, 6 people took part in the Rafting and Arborism activities and 5 people enrolled in the Rappelling and Arbosim activities.

- Only 3 people had enough courage to do the three activities.

Well… of course there is no doubt that I did them all!



The question is… how many of those 30 kids didn’t take part in any activity?



Extra Question: who is hiding behind the mask?
