TESSELLATION ART MAKING CONTEST

 A tessellation is any pattern made of repeating shapes that covers a surface completely
without overlapping or leaving any gaps. A checkboard is a tessellation made of squares. The
squares meet edge to edge with no gaps and no overlapping areas. The pattern of bricks on a wall is
a tessellation made of rectangles.

Making tessellations combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a
puzzle. Making a non-polygonal tessellation is creating a pattern from a square or any parallelogram
but cut and slide pattern to be tessellated on a surface area.

GUIDELINES:

1. Each participating section has one (1) participant.

2. Each contestant will bring the following materials: 1/8 illustration board, pencil, art materials
such as glue, scissors, colored paper, marker and coloring materials.

3. Time allotment is 90 minutes.

4. Each tessellation output will be graded with the following rubric:

COMPLEXITY OF THE PATTERN (Does it create an interesting, involved design?) 30%

ORIGINALITY (Is it totally original?) 20%

PRECISION (Do tightly interlocking shapes fill the plane?) 20%

ATTRACTIVENESS (Is it pleasing to the eye? Does it involve great color and additional details?) 30%

TOTAL 100%

TOWER OF HANOI COMPETITION

 The tower of Hanoi or Towers of Hanoi (also known as the Tower of Benares) is a
Mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes
which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks neatly stacked in order of size on
one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.

GUIDELINES:

1. Each participating section has one (1) participant.

2. Move 1 disk at a time.

3. Big disk shouldn’t be placed on top of the small disk.

4. For every number of disks there is corresponding number of moves.

5. The game will be composed of three (3) rounds.

 1st round – Use both hands I transferring the disk

 2nd round – Use right hand in transferring the disk
 3rd round – Use left hand in transferring the disk

6. The contestant with the shortest time to finish, wins the game in every round.

RUBIK’S CUBE COMPETITION

GUIDELINES:

1. Each participating section has one (1) participant.

2. A 3 ×3 Rubik’s cube will be provided to the competitors (to be provided by the host). Thus,
cubes should not be damaged, marked or otherwise altered. However, if for any reason the
cube does not function correctly, falls apart or moves out of the solved state accidentally once
the timer has stopped, the cube is considered unsolved and will justify grounds for a “do over”.

3. A scrambler mixes the cubes so they are completely scrambled. The number of moves to
scramble a cube from the solved state to the scrambled state must be at least 25 moves.

4. Competitors will be competing against each other for the fastest time with a maximum time of
10 minutes.

5. Competitors may talk among themselves during the competition but should not distract other
competitor.

9. The competition will be composed of three (3) rounds, the competitor with the smallest
average time will be declared as winner.

COMPETITION PROCEDURE:

a. A scrambler scrambles the cube according to a scrambling procedure.

b. A judge must call penalty at the time of the infraction and such penalty should be noted by the
score taker.

c. Competitors must place their hands flat on the table and must not have any physical contact
with the cube before the solving begins. Penalty for infraction is 5 seconds.

d. Competition judge must do a quick general inspection to ensure thorough scrambling. If in

doubt, scrambler must re-scramble. The judge must give a warning before the start of the
round by calling “Ready” followed “Go” when the warning time has elapsed.

e. As soon as the competition judge calls “Go” the timer are activated and the competitors begin
to solve.

f. After the 10-minute time limit, the competition judge should call “Time”. Otherwise, the timer is
stopped (by whomever started the time) when the competitor has solved and released the
cube.
g. Once the time is stopped, competitors must not touch or move the cubes or timer until the
score taker has inspected all the cubes and the time is recorded together with any penalty on
the score sheets.

h. The solved state is when each of the six sides of the cube has one solid color per side. If one
move is required of more than 45 degrees there is a 5 second penalty. If more than one move
is required the cube is considered not solved.
