The First Five Years

Several mistakes crept into the answer keys for some of the individual tests in this compilation of past Mandelbrot tests. We are very grateful to Linda Burks for pointing out the following corrections.

  • 1991-92 Round Three #1 (page 35): the answer should be sqrt(a(a+b+c)/bc).
  • 1991-92 Round Three #5 (page 35): the answer should be 1/2.
  • 1992-93 Round One #8 (page 57): the answer should be sqrt(130)/2.
  • 1992-93 Round Four #7 (page 57): the answer should be 8*sqrt(114)/5.
  • 1993-94 Round Two #2 (page 81): the answer should be 2^(3^4).
  • 1993-94 Round Three #7 (page 81): the answer should be 11.

Mandelbrot Morsels

So far two errors have been discovered in this volume.  Please forward others when you spot them.

  • 2003-04 Round Three Team Test (page 37): the Setup section should read "for all pairs of real numbers x and y."
  • 2005-06 Mandelbrot Competition Round Three (page 49): question four should read "What is the smallest number greater than 6 that is a palindrome..."
