Situation : my first class this year, about 20 fresh(wo)men, their second class this year.

Me : Okay, who did some mathematics this vacation?

(No response obviously, even if they did, it’s not a cool thing to admit…)

Me : Sure, let me rephrase the question : who thought about solving a puzzle or played a strategic game this vacation?

(No response, or… is there?….. a timid question :

‘Does Sudoku count????’

Me : Well, not really but okay let’s rephrase the question : Who solved at least 1 Sudoku this vacation?

IMMEDIATE RESPONSE : about three quarters of all students waving their arms!

Me : Oof…….Oh…….Yes??? (to an even more timid student raising his arm)

‘Does doing half a Sudoku also counts?’

It’s going to be a tough semester…
