the legend of question six live
Advanced Maths Students
Ages 12 and up
DESCRIPTION
A show based on the wildly popular YouTube video ‘The Legend of Question Six’.
Way back at the 1988 International Mathematical Olympiad there was one question that has gone down as one of the hardest problems ever set. It even managed to stump future Field’s Medalist Terry Tao. But out of the small group of competitors who managed to answer it there was one who did it in such a brilliant way that the organisers award a special medal for sheer awesomeness. In this presentation learn about this legendary problem and the way one young genius found to solve it.
