Mathilda and Matthew 2005-12-18
From A student:

Question: 1) The average of 12 is 5. The average of of 8 of these numbers ia 6. What is the average of the other four.

2)Mathilda is playing a mathematical game with Matthew. Each player starts from a point, then moves in a straight line to a second point,then to a third and so on. The moves are not made randomly, but are determined by a mathematical rule. The object of the game is to find the rule. It is Mathilda's turn to move on the grid . She starts at point M (3,9), moves to point N (2,4) and then to point O (0,0). Given Mathilda's rule, what could be the coordinates of the next point to which she might move?

Frieze Patterns 1998-08-19
From Brian Bairstow:
I am doing a research project on frieze patterns (also called band patterns or border patterns). I know that there are exactly seven different types of frieze patterns, but I have been unable to find a proof for this. If you could tell me this proof, or tell me some internet sites on which I can find material on this, I would be very grateful.
