John Urschel, a published mathematician, MIT student, and pro football player for the Baltimore Ravens, recently posted a "Wednesday Morning Math Challenge" on The Players' Tribune website. Here is the introduction he posted:
"One of my life’s passions is the desire to learn about the unknown — and to expand our understanding of it. For the rest of the NFL season, I’ll be sharing that passion with you.
Each week I’ll give you three puzzles. Sometimes they will involve math, other times logic and some of them will test your spatial awareness and reasoning. What unifies every one of these problems is that each one will make you think.
Give the problems below a try, and check back next week for the answers — and a brand new set of puzzles."
Now I don't know about you, but that was all the inviting I needed!! Visit the link below for the first installment, and Happy Solving!!
