Math Problem of the Week #4

Some ketchup gets spilled on a napkin where you have written the last digit of your friend's ten digit phone number. What is the maximum number of phone calls you would need to try in order to know what your friend's number is?

Write your name, homeroom number, and your answer on a piece of paper and give it to Mr. Restoule General in the Resource Room. This week's winner will be drawn from all the correct submissions on Wednesday, October 30th and win a special Halloween prize! Good luck.

Math Problem of the Past Weeks

There will be no Math Problem of the Week for this week, as it is a shorter school week. Students are still welcome to try and solve the initial problem of the week, as Ms. Graham is the only one to solve it so far. (Mr. Sowden's son solved it too. He won't tell his dad how he got the answer.) Congratulations to Cloe and Chris again for solving the third problem of the week.
