Dear pupils!
Not as soon as expected... but, finally, here you have these brilliant pictures from our trip to London!! We had a really good time there, didn't we? Ha ha ha!! :)
As Mercedes told you, I passed my exam in June and now I am working in my city: Elda!! Yippeeeeeeeee!! But, anyway, Valencia will always be special for me!
It was nice to work with all of you at CAMPANAR!! Hopefully, we will see each other again one day!! I wish you all the best!!
Kind regards
Susana!
PS: Make the most of your classes with Mercedes, she is a fantastic teacher and a very special person for me!!

FORTNIGHT'S PUZZLE 16
PUZZLE 16: 24th-30th May (to be e-mailed by the 31st May)
POSTED BY IES CAMPANAR
A NUMEROUS FAMILY
The product of my sons’ ages is 1664. The age of the eldest is the double of my youngest son’s age. I am 50 years old myself.How many sons have I got?How old are they?
SOLUTION
The factorial decomposition of 1664 is the product of 13 x 2 with exponent 7. Since 13 can be neither the youngest nor the eldest son, the solution is 2 with exponent 3 = 8, 13, and 2 with exponent 4 = 16. Therefore the three sons are: 8, 13 and 16 years old.
