Maths Trivia Game - Page 3 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

2000 (because I figured since I had no clue on the championships or the albums a nice round number works best) x 7 / 4 is good enough for 2nd place.
But 17 championships is nuts. And 10 albums? Who knew..

assuming you do BEDMAS correctly, if you got everything right but thought capital of Iceland was Y, you'd only be off by 8. Multiplication / division makes gaps bigger. of course none of this matters if booger just gonna perfect it.

In with total guesses in every category. If I'm less than 40% off I'll be surprised.

This actually wasn’t as terrible as I thought on first glance. I think I’m pretty close. Depends on one answer in particular.

Ok need in the 220ish range to do well here

I like this method of equation because after the first part we can all figure out what number range we need the second part to be
