Official Program for the Inauguration of Benigno S. Aquino III and Jejomar C. Binay as President and Vice President of the Philippines, June 30, 2010, Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines

Official Program Aquino Inaugural (Excerpts)

“We have a game plan which will give Pacquiao a lot of problems.”- Clottey

Feb. 22, 2010, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Fightnews.com quoted the challenger Joshua Clottey: “I’ve worked hard for weeks in Florida,” he said. “When I win don’t call it an upset. We have a game plan which will give Pacquiao a lot of problems. No one is unbeatable including him. I personally know he’s worried about me, how big and strong I will be in the ring that night.” Clottey also added that he is in top condition for his upcoming title fight against Manny Pacquiao on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Australian Mathematics Competition:

The first AMC was held in 1976, was open to students within the Australian Capital Territory, and attracted 1200 entries.

The, in 2004, the competition was expanded to allow two more divisions, one for year five and six students, and another for year three and four students. And in 2005, students from 38 different countries entered the competition.

The AMC test paper consists questions on topics that include arithmetic, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, measurement, algebra and probability and thank goodness, no calculus! Students have 75 minutes to read and answer 30 questions, which are ordered in increasing difficulty.  Of the 30 questions, 25 in multiple-choice  and 5 questions with an integer answer between 0-999. 

Some of the AMC winners will also represent the country in the Philippine International Math Competitions which is scheduled from 28th November to 2nd December 2009 in Iloilo City.

So, Congratulations kids! We are very proud of you!!

Lastly, I know there are different levels in the competition, but just for fun, I grabbed one problem from a student preparing for the test. He posted it  in a blogsite, physicsforums.com, soliciting some answers. You can try your math talent on the question below:

Four singers take part in a musical round of 4 equal lines, each finishing after singing the line through three times.

The second singer begins when the first singer begins the second line, the third singer begins when the first singer begins the third line, the fourth singer begins when the first singer begins the fourth line. The fraction of the total singing time that all four are singing at the same time is:

A. 3/4
B. 3/5
C. 2/3
D. 5/6
E. 8/15
