At 9:00 me and Abbie went to Prestatyn high school to do a two hour math session. When I got in I was welcomed by an adult and was told to “follow Sam and Lily.” I said goodbye to my mum and followed Sam and Lily on the way to the classroom I saw Charlie K and William D. Seconds after I saw William D I got welcomed into the classroom and saw Abbie hastily swaying her hand to and fro. Knowing what she wanted me to do I shot through the air towards the seat next to her. In the flick of a lambs tail Mrs Gordon went around the tables asking for people’s names.
In a few seconds I got the first puzzle correct. The puzzle was to find the order of shapes with the given hints. In about 3 minutes of waiting and we got onto the second puzzle which was where we had to figure the height of the 9 pupils. I figured out 7 pupils heights but only because they were the same height. I didn’t see any other clues including them so I don’t know how the other people figured it out. In the middle of the three puzzles there were these two questions: the first one was if all the students stood on each others’ shoulders will we be able to touch the top of Snowdon. We were told we had calculators which we did. Then we were told to vote if yes, no or unsure 2 people were unsure 9 people voted no and 14 people voted yes.Then we were told to figure it out. The answer was 2700 because 1800 x 1.5, which was the agreed height for students, and the height of Snowdon is 1085 m.
The last thing we were told to do was a true or false list and on it we had to write why we thought that. After that she snapped her arm and pointed at the door and said, “Okay its time to leave, goodbye. I hope I see you again.” We (me and Abbie) shot up and slowly ran towards the door with every one else.
