Thank you to everyone we met at the recent Computer Labs Supporters’ Club Recruitment Fair. The “Prime Suspect” quiz we held generated a lot of interest.
As background for the quiz, qualifying answers must (1) be a 3-digit prime number; (2) all digits added together must equal a prime number; (3) be the highest, most unique number (the smallest number of individuals answering with that prime number, ideally just one!). This last point caused a lot of interest and use of game-theory for providing answers.
The obvious answer was 991 which many hoped would be overlooked by others (it was though the second most frequent answer), and the second largest (977; most frequent answer). The highest unique 3-digit-prime-numbers were: 919, 911, 883 and 881.
Special mention goes to the following: India-Jane Barry; Callum Iddon; Viktor Toth; Chris Baish; Peter Rugg; Kalper Walentynowicz – not prize winners this time but thanks for entering!
