Situation : my first class this year, about 20
fresh(wo)men, their second class this year.
Me : Okay, who
did some mathematics this vacation?
(No response
obviously, even if they did, it’s not a cool thing to
admit…)
Me : Sure, let me rephrase the question :
who thought about solving a puzzle or played a strategic game this
vacation?
(No response, or… is there?….. a
timid question :
‘Does Sudoku
count????’
Me : Well, not really but okay
let’s rephrase the question : Who solved at least 1 Sudoku this
vacation?
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE : about three quarters of all
students waving their arms!
Me :
Oof…….Oh…….Yes??? (to an even more timid
student raising his arm)
‘Does doing half a Sudoku
also counts?’
It’s going to be a tough
semester…
