Students Adrianne Ingram, Lydia Kamau, Kai Stenson and Kizzy Todd all won prizes during the LTC's National Tutoring Week Challenge.The competition ran from October 4th through October 8th. On each of those days, a series of brain teasers was selected, and interested students tried their hand at answering. The brain teasers were drawn from a range of academic disciplines.
Daily winners received periphernalia such as t-shirts, portfolios and keychains. The grand prize winner received an hour-long tutoring session with the tutor of her choice.
Curious about the kinds of puzzles the students solved? Let's see how well you do:
A. There is a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a male, the first three signify a female, the first four signify a great man and the whole word, a great woman. What is the word?
B. Assuming that you are paying, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice or two friends to the movies at the same time? (Note: It does not depend on how much popcorn they eat!)
Congratulations, again, to all of our winners!
Answers: A. Heroine B. It is cheaper to take two friends at the same time; you would only pay for yourself once.
