β€’ A game of trivia (knowledge) and bluffing
(creativity)
β€’ 𝑛 teams.
β€’ Each round has a word or phrase:
– Guess the definition of the word or phrase.
– Collect the definitions and mix in the correct
definition.
– Read all the definitions, guess the correct one.
Points
β€’ Construct the correct definition – 3 points
β€’ Choose the correct definition – 2 points
β€’ Somebody chooses your definition – 1 point each
Prime Number
Group 1: A number that is greater than 0 but less than 17.
Group 2: A number that ends with the digit β€œ1”.
Group 3: A number that has exactly two factors.
Group 4: A number satisfying 𝑝 π‘Žπ‘ β‡’ (𝑝 π‘Ž or 𝑝 𝑏 .
Group 1: A number that is greater than 0 but less than 17.

Parity
Parity
β€’ If two integers are both even or both odd,
they are said to have the same parity.
β€’ 26 and 18 have the same parity.
β€’ 3 and 1349837 have the same parity.
β€’ 3 and 26 have a different parity.
Abundant Number
Abundant Number
β€’ An integer which is less than the sum of all its
proper divisors.
β€’ 12 is abundant: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 > 12
β€’ 14 is not abundant: 1 + 7 < 14
β€’ 6 is not abundant: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
Scalene Triangle
Scalene Triangle
β€’ A triangle whose side lengths are all different.
Zero Divisor
Zero Divisor
β€’ A nonzero object which can be multiplied by
another nonzero object with zero resulting.
β€’ In β„€6 both 2 and 3 are zero divisors:
2 β‹… 3 ≑ 6 ≑ 0 (mod 6)

Perpetuity
Perpetuity
β€’ An annuity that continues forever such as:
– $100 every week forever (not just the rest of your
life, but rather until the end of time)
β€’ The British government once offered these
(do they still?).
β€’ Due to the time value of money, the present
value is still finite.
Inversor
Inversor
β€’ A mechanical device which simultaneously
traces out a curve and its inverse.

β€’ Used to model many things, in particular
something that is capable of spreading quickly
but has a limiting factor: diseases, population,
etc.

β€’ The gamma function.
β€’ Generalizes the factorial function.
– (Well, it’s off by one, but close enough)
(It really is quite an important function; to compare it to a factorial is like comparing a Corvette to a bicycle)

β€’ An abelian group which can be acted upon by
a ring in a fully distributive and associative
manner.
Triangular System
Triangular System
β€’ A system of linear equations in which each
equation has a different leading variable.
π‘₯1 + π‘₯2 + π‘₯3 = 5
π‘₯2 + π‘₯3 = 6
π‘₯3 = 7

β€’ 0,1,2,3,4,5 with addition appropriately
defined.

β€’ This is just a vanilla PowerPoint, but of course like
anything you download from the internet: use at
your own risk.
β€’ I started with the version on the MAA website for
math clubs and expanded it.
