Maths:
Penina is playing with her name and with numbers.
She lets all the consonants equal 10 and all the vowels equal 5.
So the value of Penina’s name is
10 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 10 + 5 = 45.
What is the value of your name?
Can you find at least 5 names that have a value of 30?
Penina's name goes even, odd, even, odd, even, odd.
What other names have an even, odd or odd, even pattern?
What is the biggest value that a name of six letters can have?
What is the biggest value that you can actually find?
Mine would be: 5 + 10 + 10 = 25
What are the vowels?
Consonants?
Captain Blackheart buries his treasure but loses his treasure map! But all is not lost. His trusty crew remember different bits of the map.
"I remember drawing it with 5 squares each way", says the Captain.
"There was a row of three trees running due East from the square (1,1)", Peg Leg Pete says. "You put each one of them on a different square."
"Weren’t there four granite boulders going due South from (5,5)?" John asks. "I think you put one of them each in a square too."
"Ah!. Now I remember!" yells the Captain. "I buried the treasure half way between the first rock and the most western tree!"
Where is the treasure?
