🧩 National Puzzle Day is 29th January! 🧩 To celebrate, we’ll be sharing puzzles and problem-solving tips throughout January 🧠 Stay tuned for hints, tips & solutions! 👀 First up: frosty simultaneous equations! ❄️ #NationalPuzzleDay

🥶 Puzzle 1 : Frosty Equations🥶 Solve the equations to find the values of ❄️, 🥊 and 💎: ❄️ + ❄️ + 🥊 = 7 ❄️ + 💎 + 🥊 = 12 ❄️ + 💎 = 9 Found the solution? Vote below! 🗳️ #NationalPuzzleDay

Puzzle 2: Icy Inversion 🧊 This triangle points up (like a mountain 🗻) What is the least number of snowflakes which must be moved so that the triangle points down (like this pizza slice 🍕)? Vote below and reply with your pics & reasoning — we’d love to see your ideas! 🧠👇

Happy 175th Birthday Sofia Kovalevskaya! 🎉 The first woman in modern Europe to earn a doctorate in mathematics and the first female professor in Europe, Kovalevskaya made significant contributions to PDEs and mechanics, including the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem 🪐⚙️

1️⃣ Alex: “Flo and I are different types of people.” 2️⃣ Omar: “Jing is a resolution-breaker.” 3️⃣ Jing: “Omar is a resolution-breaker.” 4️⃣ Flo: “At least two of us are resolution-keepers.”

Been enjoying our National Puzzle Day posts so far? Here’s the final puzzle — and it’s a tough one! 🌰 In fact, this one’s a specimen exam question from one of our most popular modules MST368: Graphs, Games & Designs (sorry not sorry)

Puzzle 4: Cool Convexity 🆒 Can you draw a set of 7 points A-G in the plane such that: 🔹 ⟨A, B, C, D, E, F, G⟩ forms a triangle 🔹 ⟨B, C, D, E, F, G⟩ forms a pentagon 🔹 ⟨B, C, D, E, F⟩ forms a quadrilateral?

We’ve included examples below. Got a solution? Share it with us — we're eager to see your ideas! 🧠👇#NationalPuzzleDay

Now that you’ve seen all the puzzles, it’s time to get to work (if you haven’t already)! 🧩 Remember, we’ll be posting tips, hints and solutions all the way through January — so keep an eye out! 👀 Have fun puzzling and don’t forget to share your progress and solutions with us!

How’s it going with our #NationalPuzzleDay puzzles? Need a hint for Puzzle 1: Frosty Equations? 🥶 1️⃣ Subtract equation 3 from equation 2 — this is called the elimination method. You’ll discover that 🥊 = 3. 2️⃣ Consider equation 1…how might knowing 🥊 = 3 help?

💡 You could also try the substitution method. We’ve seen some savvy solvers already crack it — what method did you use? Share your approach below! Good luck, and happy puzzling! 🍀

Yesterday, we shared a hint for Puzzle 1: Frosty Equations. Today, let’s tackle Puzzle 2: Icy Inversion! 🧊💡 1️⃣ Focus on the vertices — a single move here has the biggest impact on the triangle’s orientation. Check out a (possible) first move below 👇🏻

2️⃣ Pro tip: Sketch the triangle using different colours for each row or use coloured counters to make a moveable version. It’ll make tracking your moves much easier! 🎨 Good luck, and happy puzzling! 🍀 #NationalPuzzleDay
