Challenges

Quiz of the fortnight:

Each fortnight, the Lower Sixth scholars set a challenge known as the 'quiz of the fortnight'

The first person to bring a correct solution to Lucy Chisnall (Upper Sixth) wins a prize.

These challenges are designed to encourage lateral thinking as well as being fun!
