THE WEEK’S PUZZLE

This is a competition in which you are supposed to solve a logical or Mathematical problem, but trying to avoid those which are usually in the Maths books and the curricula.
The 5 schools taking part in ‘The School as the Integration Engine’ Comenius Project are invited to take part in it. That is secondary schools from Lüneburg (Germany), Lipník (Czech Republic), Ajka (Hungary), Geneva (Switzerland) and Valencia (Spain).
The competition will run along the months of October, November and December. Every Tuesday a problem/puzzle will be uploaded on the project blog:
http://schoolintegrationengine.blogspot.com/
The deadline to offer a possible solution will be the following Monday. The next day, a Tuesday then, the solution will be uploaded for everybody to check. The last problem is due to appear on December the 7th.
Each school will select afterwards 3 students with the most correct answers , in three different levels according to their ages or levels. For each level , there will be later in December ONE more puzzle/problem to figure out who is the champion among the chosen students of all the countries participating in each level. Before Christmas these students will get a small gift in their own schools.
The photos and names of the winners will later be shown on the blog..
