Euler Piruleta
was once a rascal and he didn’t manage to obtain his ESO degree. Now he has
been threatened that he will be expelled of Matfor if he doesn’t pass the only
exam he failed that time: Similarity and Trigonometry!
Since this is now
your area of expertise, can you help Euler to solve this problem?
How far do we
have to place a 2€ coin from our
eye to completely cover the Moon? The information
below is everything you will need to solve it:
-Moon’s Diameter: 3476 Km
-Distance Moon-Earth: 384.000 Km
-Coin’s Diameter: 28 mm
Tip: you know how this works… draw the situation
described and you will be able to solve the problem! :D
You will get 20 coins if you send the right answer and 20 extra coins if you explain how you got the code!
PS: Cesar Romero and TaniaPopcorn have received 40 coins and TheHeadhunter 20 for the solution of the previous challenge! This is a song I've been particularly enjoying these days...
Euler Piruleta
feels exhausted after those past two ordeals he went through (the zombies and
all that stuff). Luckily enough for him, he had a great Christmas time with his
family (some strange fellows though). His grandfather
knows he keeps risking his life to help the people of Maftor, so he decided to
give him his invisibility cloak he once had stolen from Harry Potter.
Everything seems
quite straightforward so far, but Euler’s grandfather is some sort of a joker
and thus he set a lock in the magic box. Euler must get the code to open it if
he wants to retrieve the invisibility cloak trapped inside!
The code is
formed by the 10 numbers which
should be written in the sentence below in such way that it makes sense
(including the numbers written in the gaps!)
In this sentence the number of times the 0 appears is ___ , the 1 is ___ , the 2 is ___ , the 3 is ___ , the 4 is ___ , the 5 is ___ , the 6 is ___ ,
the 7 is ___ , the 8 is ___ and the 9 is ___ .
That is, you have
to complete those 10 gaps using numbers from 0 to 9 (which can be repeated) to
get a coherent sentence. For example, if you use only the number 1:
In this sentence the number of times the 0 appears is 1 ,
the 1 is 9 , the 2 is 1 , the 3 is 1 , the 4 is 1 , the 5 is 1 ,
the 6 is 1 , the 7 is 1 , the 8 is 1 and the 9 is 1 .
It would be wrong
because you can find 2 numbers 9
in the sentence and not 1!!
Help poor Euler
to get his invisibility cloak!!
You will get 20 coins if you send the right answer and 20 extra coins if you explain how you got the code!
PS: Jorge Stark, Cesar Romero, Popcorn and Headhunter have received 40 extra coins thanks to the last challenge!
Palanquilla's Song: You probably don't know who Leonard Cohen is and I guess you will not like his music (but you will in the forseeable future, trust me). Anyway, if you play this song and wait to the position 04:26 you'll hear Palanquilla's fake laughter.
Maybe you know that the E-Potion and the T-Potion cost now 260 coins.
I want an E-Potion but I think I don't need my T-Potion, so the first person who read that and want a T-Potion can ask me because I sell mine for 250 coins, yes, only 10 coins cheaper, but they are 10 coins so if you want buy it

Although we have tried
to contain it, the Sumatra Virus evolved and mutated and it got to Japan. You know what happens in Japan… they are fond on robots,
samurais and all that stuff, thus the virus turned the population into Evil
Power Rangers and Evil Megazords.
The only person who seems immune to the virus is Hiroki-San, an elderly
grandpa who lives in the mountains. He is determined to end the chaos Japan is living
in, but he needs time to think thoroughly about a schem. The first think he
needs to do is reinforcing his own house with anti-Zord mines, one per square
meter.
Unfortunately, he
doesn’t know the surface of his land, he only has a blueprint. He wonders “how
can I get the surface of my land with only this blueprint?”. Suddenly,
something rings the bell and he remembers that decades ago he had learnt a way
to obtain the surface of a triangle knowing only the lengths of its sides: Heron Formula. Quickly, he looks
through his notes and finds a piece of paper with it!
SCALE: 1 : 200
a)Can you help Hiroki-San
to get the surface of his land?
b)How many
anti-Zord mines will he have to use to prevent his home from being assaulted?
TIPS: You have
to print the pdf version to get the blueprint. Use a ruler to measure the
lengths. Don’t forget you’ll have to use the scale at some point to get the
surface of the real land, and not the surface of the blueprint.
Let's honor the real and almignthy power rangers who gave my generation endless hours of (repeatedly and relentlessly the same) fights and adventures.

And prior to the Power Rangers (you would have never heard about them) there were the BIOMAN (1988), only three warriors from japan:

A virus from Sumatra has been introduced in a small village by an
infected rat. This despicable virus turns people and animals into
evil-hilarious zombies.
Fortunately, the militaries
have managed to confine the civilian zombie population into a piece of land delimited by an iron fence.
However, these monstrous
creatures ought to be exterminated to prevent the infection being spread all
over the Earth!! The clock is
ticking! a)Can you calculate
how many meters of titanium fence do they need to use to surround the land (to reinforce the iron fence)? b)Once the land is
secured, it is vital to calculate its surface to produce the poisonous gas that
will eradicate these evil creatures once and for all. TIPS: Circumference’s
surface:
Circumference’s length:
Notice that the curved lines which join opposite vertices of a square have

The idea of this challenge comes from the great Peter Jackson's 1992 film "Braindead", starring the aunt of my beloved friend and amazing Maths teacher Maria whom I would like to dedicate this crazy challenge :P Even the trailer is hilarious!
Nevertheless, if you would like to try something that is not so related to human organs, "Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood" is probably one of the best anime series of the last few decades:

ChariCher is the
result of an unsuccessful fusion between Matfor’s legendary music Diva Cher and
one chair from her office. The result is a monster who has prepared a single
that will blow up Matfor inhabitants’ tympanums.
The only way to
dismantle that single radio broadcast is placing the numbers from 1 to 12 in the panel below in such
way that every four numbers aligned sum up always the same quantity.
Can you get the
right configuration of numbers from 1 to 12 verifying that the addition of any
4 aligned numbers gives always the same result?
As I told you, ChairCher is the only living artist who had 6 number 1 hits in 6 different decades. If you have a look at the videos below, you will see that the evoluation is quite interesting... :P
1960s: I got you babe
1970s: Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves

Have a nice weekend!!!

Robotnic has been
promoted and he is now the head ruler of Matfor’s Bank. Euler needs to get his
money out of the bank to buy a new surfboard since the one he had did not
survive to the last summer.
The problem Euler
finds is that Robotnic has been messing with the Bank’s software and now he
would only get his money if he manages to introduce in the mobile app the 4-number
code verifying the 4 conditions below:
Can you get the
right combination of numbers ABCDthat would unlock
Euler’s Money?
Have a look at the outrageously tacky clothes of who is considered the most successful spanish singer from the 80's. Unfortunately, he had a tragic and premature death when he was only 41 years old:
