mathNEWSquiz #4

The Breeze

Hey everyone π here again. I'm really disappointed with the lack of Squiz entries so I am going to make the questions really really easy this week, with the hope that somebody will submit answers.

Since nobody submitted for the last Squiz, you can still send in submissions for that one next week and win a prize.

Lyrics

  1. Row row row your boat
    Gently down the stream
  2. Mary had a little lamb
    Little lamb, little lamb
  3. Twinkle twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are
  4. Hands
    Touching hands
    Reaching out
    Touching me
    Touching you
  5. It's fun to stay at the
    Y-M-C-A

  1. Who invented the game of life?
  2. Who proposed Fermat's Last Theorem?
  3. Which UW professor helped to break Nazi codes during the second World War?
  4. Who had a triangle named after him even though it was developed 300 years before his birth?
  5. Which mathematician should always follow the horse?

Food

  1. What is the most popular condiment in the United States?
  2. What is the staple food in the diet of the majority of earth's population?
  3. From what animal does beef come from?
