Not Scientific Science

A Small Maths Challenge

Where have the 'The h2g2 Post' quizzes gone? With this in mind I thought that a mathematical quiz wouldn't hurt! I also sort of don't know what to write about.

Here we go:


A sports club providing facilities for bowls, darts and tennis has 35
active members. Of the 9 tennis players, one plays only tennis and one
plays all 3 sports. The 23 other members who play 1 sport only comprise
two-thirds of the darts section and one-half of the bowls section. Use a
Venn diagram to determine how many people play bowls.

That's a pretty touch question. Post your answers on the forum.

Answer and how-to-do-it in next column!

If you've got any ideas on topics I could write in this column,
just drop a
note
!
