Dart Target

Well done to everybody who had a go at these challenges.

Ronik from Clarendon Primary School in the UK found this solution for Challenge 2:

5+2+1=8

5+3+1=9

4+4+2=10

Well done, Ronik! Amogh from Ashton House School in the UK sent in this solution for Challenge 2:

For Challenge 2, I have come up with one solution

1+2+5=8

4+3+2=9

4+5+1=10

No number has been used more than two times, so I think it is correct.

That is correct, Amogh! Some children from Hauxton Primary School in the UK found the same solution for Challenge 2, and they added:

We think there are more possible answers!

I agree! 

We received lots of solutions from the children at Broke Hall CP School in Suffolk, England. Rajavel and Maxwell found this solution for Challenge 2:

4+1+3=8

5+2+2=9

5+1+4=10

Mario, Robbie, Evie and Owen found this solution for Challenge 2:

4+2+2=8

5+3+1=9

5+4+1=10

Thank you all for sending these ideas in. I think there is still one possible solution to Challenge 2 that nobody has found yet - please email us if you think you know what it is.
