He shoots! He scores??

November 28, 2009

I just realized now that I was not wrong for presenting myself as a participant in the Math Trail. At first, I really had doubts because if our team loses, embarrassment will certainly come right after. But I was thankful that our team was the triumphant among the other teams.

The trail really became a roller coaster especially for our team. Our start was really not that good for we were the last ones to finish the task. But when got our bearings and we had the momentum, we kept going for it with all the team members working. “Yes!” ,we all said as we noticed that we were on the lead. But the unexpected happened. Think of this and this will blow your mind, on the easiest task of the easiest topic that all of us have knowledge of, became the task that we took the longest time of doing it! So again, we were the last team. But luck certainly took our side as the last task was answering a Sudoku puzzle and we were able to finish it faster than the other teams. And finally, our team won.

I share this story not for boasting about it but for the reason that I did not expect that we would win.

This week’s spotlight was focused on the math festival and especially on the Mr. and Ms. Mathaba where I was a backup...XD. We were happy that our bet was the second. It was a good fight and we even thought that we were going to win.

That’s all to tell for this week... ADIOS!
