Sixth Day’s Events

Monday September 25th, 2000

Day 1- 18th Sept ] Day 2 - 19th Sept ] Day 3 - 20th Sept ] Day 4 - 21st Sept ] Day 5 - 22nd Sept ] [ Day 6 - 25th Sept ] Day 7 - 26th Sept ] Day 8 - 27th Sept ] Day 9 - 28th Sept ] Day 10 - 29th Sept ]

  1. Find a sport in the letters of: 
                
                         

       
             OPAL TOWER

 

 


  1. Replace each * by a letter to make a word: 

                                       **NOEI**.

  2. Professor Bonce’s new tennis ball is about the size of a grapefruit, but is extremely bouncy. In fact, it always bounces up to exactly half the height it was dropped from. If you drop it from a height of 2 metres, how far will it travel all in all before coming to rest? Will it ever come rest?


  3. How many rectangles can be found in this hang-glider’s view of a tennis court? How many more appear when the net (the dotted line) is put in place?

  4. The word NOON in upper case reads the same when inverted. Now find three words in lower case each of which read the same when turned upside down.

 

The entries may be submitted by snail mail on a post card to Sydney Mind Olympics, Didcot Towers, 11 Wilcher Close, East Hagbourne, DIDCOT, OX11 9LU, United Kingdom, or by e-mail to:
