Do you remember problems like 2+2*2=? We have a more difficult problem to solve. How much is 5+5*5=?
Since there are no parenthesis, the sequence is as follows: 1. Multiplication: 5*5 = 25. 2. Addition: 25 + 5 = 30.

He is one of the most mysterious mathematicians. However, we know partically nothing about him as a person (no accurate date of birth, no personal details). The only thing we know is that he lived in Alexandria in the 3rd century BC. Which mathematical system is named after him?
Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system described by Euclid in his textbook "The Elements" (3rd century BC). In the picture, you can see a part of the Euclid statue in the Museum of Natural History at the Oxford University.

In 1897, the General Assembly of Indiana passed the Bill 246, according to which this number was rounded upwards. Which number was that?
In 1897, the American state of Indiana passed a bill that set the number π, which is a mathematical constant defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, at 3.2 (instead of the standard 3.14). But thanks to the interference of a local professor, the bill never became a law.

This mathematical symbol was first used by a Welsh doctor and mathematician Robert Record in 1557.
It's the equality sign.
Mathematicians like to watch films like everyone else. The research by Michael Vedeimo-Johansson from the Royal Institute of Technology was inspired by the film "Matrix", where he saw a curious item of clothing. As a result, he got the number 177 147. What was the item that caught the attention of the mathematician?
He found out that a tie can be tied in 177 147 different ways. The Merovingian from "The Matrix Roloaded" (2003) has a complex and fairly unknown Ediety knot, which was later dubbed "the Merovingian knot." It has two loops in its upper part. The movie's fans tried to tie the Merovingian knot and posted their videos on Youtube. After seeing one of the videos, Michael Vedeimo-Johansson got interested in the topic.

Aspiring math student
We believe that you could have done better. You should probably repeat the multiplication table. At the same time, now you know the sum of all numbers on a roulette wheel, what numbers were invented by an Italian merchant, and what mathematician became a world famous writer. Did you like the test? Share it with your friends and see whether or not they're better than you at math!
Promising talent
You have a solid knowledge in mathematics. Which questions did you find the most challenging? Maybe it was the question about the sum of all numbers on a roulette wheel? Or an unknown mathematician who became an iconic author? Now you've learned more interesting facts! Share it with your friends and see whether or not they're better than you at math!
