Math Scavenger Hunt

 Objective:
Find mathematical data at various places in the park to solve a page of problems.

Event:

  1. Contestants will receive a page of equations. To solve each equation, they will need a number. To get the number, they will follow clues to find postings around the park at various rides.
  2. The first number will be posted at the Interactive Booth. Plug it into the first equation and then head off to the location given by the clue below that number.
  3. At the next location, and subsequent locations, answer the question inside the rectangle and use your answer to solve the next problem.
  4. Return to the Interactive Booth to get answers checked and receive the stamp and score.

Example:

  1. At location #3, the question is "How many people can ride in a single car on Psycho Mouse?"
  2. The answer is four (4) which you learn by checking out the ride.
  3. Substitute that number into your equation:
    Y = 8 X2 - 5X + 7 = 8 x 42 - 5 x 4 + 7 = 115
  4. The clue is "You will feel like you are falling out of control on this ride." So you head off to Drop Tower to find the next clue.

Location:

Celebration Plaza in Hometown Square

Time:

TBA will be posted here soon
