The Math is Hard Alleycat, unlike my mathematics career, was a rousing success! 16 riders on 8 teams raced in the effort. Along the way there was some adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing and even some measuring. I believe all participants really do believe in the difficulty math presents, but even the sharpest of enumerators were surprised to realize that there simply is no way to accurately calculate the area of a bike wheel. I guess that's just one of Life's mysteries we're going to have to accept. All in all, well done gents. This was the closest race we've had in a while, but in the end it was speedsters Jonny and Gavin who mustered up enough smarts between breaths to take the prize. Honourable mentions to birthday boy David, who came in 2nd and to Chris F. and Paul W. who go the most correct answers. Stay tuned for the Physics is Impossible Race coming as soon as I retake and pass that high school credit.
