CJ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well, other than Man Ure fans that is: The new Official Man Utd Maths Workbook, covers sums for Stage Two Maths for 7-11 year olds. 1. ACCELERATION. Wayne is 78 yards away from the referee. Gary is 65 yards away. If Wayne can run at 21 mph & Gary at 16 mph, who will be sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face first, assuming Wayne does not stop to stamp on an opponent. 2. TELLING THE TIME. If 1 minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions, 1 minute for injuries & Man Utd are losing at home, how much injury time will the referee add until the ‘Mighty Reds’ summon an equaliser? (Round answers down to nearest 5 mins). 3. PROBABILITY. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of internationals missed on a Wednesday evening, compared to the miraculous recoveries made the following Saturday. 4. SUBTRACTION. Man Utd are a giant of world football. How many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest & Reims? 5. SUBTRACTION. How many more times have Man Utd won the European Cup than Nottingham Forest? 6. DISTANCE. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a tumbling Christiano have to be to earn a penalty? (Round answers down to nearest 10 yards.) 7. PROBABILITY. Express the statistical probability of Old Trafford visitors being awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of opponents of Man Utd being awarded a penalty home or away. Then discuss if a penalty awarded to Man Utd would be awarded to their opponents in identical circumstances. 8. ACCOUNTING. Mark lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him & his two sons to travel to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ every other weekend, including limited edition matchday programme, drinks & prawn sandwiches? How much could he save per week if he just bothers to supports his local team instead? (Round answers down to nearest £1000) 9. ACCOUNTING. Alex had hotel rooms booked in Cardiff for the FA Cup Final. How much money was lost when canceling reservations between 2000-2003? 10. WEIGHT/PRESSURE. Christiano is 6ft tall, very strong and fast. How much pressure need be applied to make him tumble over in the opponent's penalty area? (Answers such as same pressure as Alex applies to referees are acceptable) 11. MONEY. Juan was a lazy boy & often went missing. Alex was very cross and wanted to sell him. If Juan cost £28m to buy, how much do you think Alex sold him for? How much did Alex lose? 12. FARMING. What is the total number of chickens counted before hatched by Man Utd & their fans who thought West Ham, Exeter & Burton were pushovers? 13. ARITHMETIC. A Man Utd fan shrieks at 35 decibels. Visiting supporters shout at 65 decibels. If during a match, 5% of Man Utd fans are munching prawn sandwiches, 10% are stuck on the M25, 2% are asleep and 15% are still trying to work out which team is which, how many visitors are needed to out-shout the others?
