Who hates Maths first thing in the morning? Who loves it, finding it the best class of the day?
This is the first in a series of contests I'm holding, covering differant subjects relating to subjects at school. The trophy winners of each 'Period' will be invited back for 'Final Exams' later on.
For maths, I want a story where numbers of some sort play a huge theme. I don't just want a story that says 'there were 23 people' and that is considered numbers. The story's plot must involve numbers, it has to be a key idea. Prehaps time can be a key idea, or angles, or measurment. If it involves numbers, is mathamatical, go for it. If I don't feel it is math based I will DQ you.
Rules
Max words: 2500
No min
Label things appropriatly, no limits on topics other than having numbers (frankly, if you can write erotica based on numbers, you have no life lol! I'm not too worried
)
Be reasonable
Good luck! and no skipping class, watch out for the next Periods, hopefully put out once a week.

Hmm
very interesting set up. Good luck with the contest.
Is it true that most writers/fans of english hate math? Or are there a few freaks out there that are good at both? weirdos...

This is a great idea for a contest. I'm horrible with numbers, but I'll try to come up with something. Who knows, it could be fun.
