Blinkdagger has announced the winners for contest #6. A little later today I’ll be posting contest #7.

In the meantime, here are a couple of warmup problems:

1. If a fish weighs one pound plus half its own weight, how much does the fish weigh? Do this problem quickly and without paper. I bet many of you won’t get it right the first time. It’s not a hard problem but it is tricky if you’re not paying attention. Try this problem out on your friends.

2. What is interesting about each of the following pairs of numbers: (2,2) and (5/2, 5/3)?

Stay tuned for Monday Math Madness #7, later today. It’s an interesting infinite series problem.
