Hellooooooooo Darlings,
Mathspig is going to the Aussie Open Tennis Semi-finals tonight.
Some quick maths.
Men’s and Women’s Singles Prize Money;
Win; $3,100,000
Runner UP: $1,550,00
It cost me … ARGGHHHH! … $Aus250 a ticket. If they play for the average game time of a Grand Slam match of 1 1/2 hrs it will costing me $2.78 a minute or 1 1/2 cappuccinos a minute.
If the game goes for 3 hrs (more common in finals) it will be costing me $1.39 a minute, but the winner gets $650,000 for playing in a semi-final and that means they earn – for 3 hrs – $7,222 a minute. Now that is a lot of cappuccinos.
Of course, tennis stars need maths … to count all that loot!!!!!!!

Hellooooooooo Sweeties,
There is sooooo much maths in the news, triumphs and tragedies, I don’t know where to begin.
First of all a tiny little spacecraft not much bigger than a washing machine has landed after a 10 year voyage on a comet 520 million km away from earth. Wow! Mathpig has some interesting space maths for you:
