Testimonials
When I asked my 8 year old if he wanted to go to a math
festival, I got a rather tepid, "Um... maybe? How long is it?"
When I told him 1 hour and 45 minutes, he was like, "What???!!
That's almost two hours of my life wasted on MATH!" We asked
some friends to come along, and we ended up staying until we got
booted out at the end of the event.
Total success.
