Lil' Timmy's Funtime PARADE

Little Timmy missed his school bus again. Luckily he can travel directly to the school via the boat he stole from Santa last year.

This isn't convoluted at all.

The Bus travels 1 kilometre East, 4 kilometres South, then 4 kilometres West. How many kilometres does Timmy have to row?

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

Answer explanation

Pythagoras' theorem at work yet again. The bus travels 4km South and 3km West relative to Timmy's position. This forms a right angle triangle.

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2(16)+3^2(9)=25(5^2)

Maths loves you.

Little Timmy is rowing to school on the boat that he stole from Santa.

He has 1 kilometre left to row when he hits an inconvenient current going directly against him.

Not even nature likes you Timmy.

If Timmy rows at 7kmph, and the current against him is 1kmph, how long will it take him to finish his trip?

• 8 minutes

• 10 minutes

• 12 minutes

• 14 minutes

Answer explanation

7kmph - 1kmph = 6kmph

1 kilometre at 6kmph is 10 minutes

A wild kraken appears! Timmy's boat is ruined.

Good news is that Timmy can swim.

Remember question 2? No? That's because this is in random order, this could be your first question. Good news, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Timmy is 500m from shore, and swims 3kmph. Concerned about the Kraken, Timmy decides to swim in an arc, smart move. How long will it take for him to swim the arc?

For clarity, the arc is a quarter of a circle, and pi is considered to be 3.14

Little Timmy is running late for class, again, this should not surprise you.

it is currently 10:16am, and he's 300 metres from class. Assuming he takes the shortest route, he will make it in 1 minute. However, there are 2 spots where he could potentially get caught by a teacher, each spot has a 50% chance of him being caught. If he gets caught it will add 1 minute to his travel time. If he gets caught twice, it will add 2 minutes to his travel time.

What is the average travel time for this trip?

• 90 seconds

• 120 seconds

• 150 seconds

• 180 seconds

Little Timmy lost a tooth at school, however word of mouth about his ongoing feud with Santa meant that the tooth fairy gave him a lump of coal instead of a shiny dollar. Timmy is furious.

He knocks another tooth out and inserts a tiny pipe bomb inside it (where he got the materials for this is another question entirely, certainly words must be had with his parents).

Whilst flying away after delivering another lump of coal, the tooth fairy hears a mysterious ticking noise, and discovers the pipe bomb. it has a timer on it that reads 011011.

At 011001, how many seconds does the tooth fairy have left to disarm the pipe bomb?

• 20
