SUPER Bonus Math Challenge



In modern times, valuables are kept in a safe that might have a combination lock. In Roman times, most valuables were stored in a strongbox (arca) that was anchored to the spot and locked with a key.
Can you figure out the combination to the safe from these clues? The first number, multiplied by 3, produces all ones; the second number, multiplied by 6, produces all twos; the third number, multiplied by 9, produces all threes.
Send answers to kellys3ps@sbcglobal.net
Parents may help, but try to let your child figure it out on their own.

Weekly winner wins a Smencil. Monthly winner wins a $20 Barnes and Noble gift certificate!
Good Luck!
Kelly
