Dear All,
One of my funniest friends is known nowadays as Lord Christophe π
Lord Christophe deserves a beautiful original brainteaser in his honour, and so here it comes…! ππ
Lord Christophe finds a perfectly flat, horizontal, rectangular, gorgeous green garden. Its mathematical properties are so delightful that he decides to buy it!
It has length L metres, width (unbelievably π) U metres, perimeter P metres, and area A square metres.
P, A, U and L are all whole numbers.
Lord Christophe also loves the fact that, for his special garden, P = A.
He laughs out loud when he learns that LORD CHRISTOPHE rearranges to make SPORT CHILD HERO πππ€£
So, he picks the speediest mathematical student of Musica Mundi School to sprint in a perfect straight line diagonally across the garden from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner, then diagonally back again. All that is to be done ten times…
…and like The Flash or a rocket!
And now, dear friends, this is your Prize Brainteaser: The total distance (in metres) that the student sprints equals the square root of C, where C is a whole number. In honour of Lord Christophe, what is the exact maximum possible value of C ?
A lot of the loveliest photos around the school are by Lord Christophe. I think that the following recent photo was by him; it’s certainly a gorgeous one to enjoy π
Please also have fun with the following wonderful Chess puzzle from a recent training game of mine. It’s Black to play and win π
A Facebook friend of mine named Antonio posts beautiful, inspirational daily messages to spread the truly Good News of The Bible for as many people as possible to benefit from knowing it.
With love and very best wishes as always,
Paul Mπtwani β€οΈ
