The Mandelbrot Team Play | ||||||||||
|
Traditionally one test each year is devoted to Euclidian geometry. Other topics can run the gamut from unexpected properties of Pythagorean triples to a nice result on how to obtain all possible batting averages. The sample Team Play test below investigates properties of a deceptively simple sequence of positive odd integers. We always love to hear of clever alternate solutions or extensions, as well as original problems of your own. Tell us about them from the Dialogue page. | ||||||||||

The complete set of all tests and solutions is available as a single 47MB zip file, by clicking this link. All tests and solutions offered in 2008-2009 are also still available for free download. Clicking on the links below will cause the corresponding documents to either appear within your browser window or download to your computer. You may then print them if desired and try your hand at solving the problems. You may order additional preparation materials from the Resources page.
