Reason behind the contest

Three Hundred Forty Seventh Post: Reason behind the contest

There is a reason behind the math/art contest on Constructor’s Corner. And if enough people enter the site should get a lot of new ideas. But I know there are many reasons to combine math and art. However there is one important reason to combine them. Do you know what that is?

If this contest works there will be future contest. However, this one is the most important. I was thinking of having a monthly challenge with little junk prizes. The prizes would be small, but uncommon things such as baseball cards and old software that can’t be bought anymore. Basically it will be just junk. But the point of the contest is the challenge not the prize.

I read in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette about how baseball cards have lost there value. A card that was once worth $140 sells for $30. I can understand why they don’t sell. Card packs are so expensive. I think it is better to collect comics and original art. Comics also aren’t valued very high. That is the ones from the last 15 years. But even if they don’t raise in value you still have a story and some good art.

But now it is back to working on a math problem. So until then... May the Creative Force be with You
