We often find that not many solutions are sent in when there is a very large number of possibilities and it's up to you to choose. However we'd like to hear about any work that you do in relation to the problems set.
Teachers, if the pupils' work does not lend itself to being sent in, it would still be good just to hear what went on when a problem was being tackled by your pupils.
Here are the answers that we got that showed clearly what some of you did .

I began at Cambridge and I'm going to Norwich and I go though Oxford and Leicester. How long will it take and how long is it to travel?
distance: 166km + 122km + 190km = 478km
