The CODE-BREAKER Challenge for #gmw2022
Can you crack the mighty strange code shown? It's an English-language message!
Five clues have been revealed and we already have a first code-cracker and a tenth code-cracker, and we're looking for our fiftieth code-cracker. If you have the message, send it to info@globalmathproject.org and receive a WITHOUT WORDS math book from James.
(Yes. James "wrote" a math book that has no words!)
How do you say the number 175487 in your language?
We're asking people to teach us how they say the big number 175 487 in their local language. Let us know!
Write to us or video us saying the number--along with telling us what language are you speaking--and, if you translate word-for-word, what you are saying in English, what exactly are you pronouncing? Is it surprising to us English speakers?
Watch the video for details and to see how surprising this is!
