Math Challenge March 27
How many ways are there to lace a shoe?
Unlike most everyone else in the world, Burkard Polster gave this question a lot of thought, and this math whiz discovered that there are 43,200 ways to lace a 6-eyelet shoe!
If you laced your shoes a different way each day, how many years would it take you to complete all 43,200 different ways?
