Is this the Westpac Maths Competition? Or perhaps have they renamed it at some point in the last decade.
My favourite question ever was "I have a pile of watermelons in a warehouse that weigh 20kg. I have determined that 99% of the weight of the watermelons is water. After a week sitting in the warehouse, some of the water has evaporated so that the watermelons are now 98% water. How much do they now weigh?"
I'll give posrep to anyone who gets it right. This one was quoted in the newspaper the day after the Westpac quiz as an example question. The day after that they needed to publish a lengthy explanation, as so many people had called in to complain that they thought the answer given was incorrect.
