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..."
