B. Whos Who?
1. His initials placed together look like a big pie, but his surname sounds like two pies. 2. He is the most able mathematician when it comes to commuting. 3. He found space in the margin, at last. 4. His boxes (or drawers) are equivalent to pigeonholes. 5. If he made the integers, 5 wouldnt had been a prime. Neither would have been 2, 13, 17 and many others. You might also nd him hanging somewhere in Photoshop.

C. Pop+
1. Coldplay has a song titled 42 but they have another song which has a real number as its title. What is the title? 2. This group of then college students formed a band, named after a nite group of a rather small order, wrote mathematical songs and released an album called Musical Fruitcake in 2005. 3. This American actor has the same reputation in Hollywood as Paul Erds has in the mathematical society. 4. She is a recreational mathemusician who is paid to sit in a cubicle all day and make random doodles. She rediscovered the singular amazing number Wau. 5. My nose will grow, he said; and the world stood still. Who is he?

D. He did that*
*because its always disputed. Name and explain any of the theorems/results you can attribute to the following mathematicians: 1. Pierre de Fermat 2. Leonhard Euler 3. Carl F. Gauss 4. John H. Conway 5. Paul Erds ( A Wild Pentagram appears. It wants the Erds number of Erds himself..)

E. Puzzle Me!
1. This problem has been giving me a headache for weeks now: Which word contains the string adac? 2. Use his method to invent a new mathematician from the following list: a.De Morgan b.Abel c.Boole d.Brouwer e.Sierpiski f.Weierstrass 3. The cost of sending a rectangular box is determined by the sum of its dimensions; that is, length plus width plus height. Prove that you cant cheat by packing a box into a cheaper box. 4. The names of 100 prisoners are placed in 100 wooden boxes, one name to a box, and the boxes are lined up on a table in a room. One by one, the prisoners are led into the room; each may look in at most 50 boxes, but must leave the room exactly as he found it and is permitted no further communication with the others. The prisoners have a chance to plot their strategy in advance, and they are going to need it, because unless every prisoner nds his own name, all will subsequently be executed. Find a strategy for them which has a decent chance of success. 5. Give a word, apart from he which begins and ends with the string he.
