nrich.maths.org/223 My 8 year old came home with this maths puzzle this afternoon. Specifically the
Henry chose 8 sweets. What could he have bought? question. He had completed it all in class but thought he could entertain his poor parents with it, as he found it really hard, and was the only one on his table who got it. We got it right in the end.
Is there anyway I could create a program/code that would solve this puzzle? I've been doing some basic coding lessons on Khan Academy (drawing and SQL ones) and wondered if and when I get around to doing the JavaScript stuff, or a different language (?) would I be able to do something like this? Thank you!
