Round 2
I am still scoring the first round, but since it is my birthday I figured it would be a great time to post the next set of Olympics related questions! Good luck!
1. What is my fastest official mile time? Closest guess gets 5 points, then 4, then 3...
2. How many countries will participate in this year's Summer Olympics?
3. Even though the Olympics are set in London, other cities in the UK will host events as well. Name three other Olympic sites that will be used for the Summer Olympics this year.
4. An outdoor track measures 84.39m on the straight parts and 115.611m for the curves. These very precise measurements leave a difficult problem to solve. Find the area inside of the track. Assume that the curves are semicircles.
5. Hurdles are generally set 13 meters from the starting line with 8.5 meters between hurdles and 10.5 meters from the last hurdle to the finish line. If the hurdle race is 110 meters, how many hurdles do we need?

Answer the following questions for points toward prizes. Please email your answers to the questions to wlittle@calvertschoolmd.org. Good luck!
First Round
1. How many times longer is the 1600 meter race compared to the 100 meter race?
2. In the Olympics, the mens’ shotput weighs 16 pounds. About how much is this in kilograms?
3. Usain Bolt set the world record for the 100m with a time of 9.58. At this rate, how long (in minutes and seconds) would it take him to run the 1600m?
4. Olympic gold medals cost about $300 to make. If there are 302 events in the Olympic games, about how much money will have been spent on making gold medals?
5. The 1600 meter race is pretty close to 1 mile. Which is longer, and by how much?
