Blue Fusion 2007
Blue
Fusion 2007 is a competitive activities day run by IBM Hursley for schools in Hampshire. Pupils from thirteen
schools attended on the 14th of March when Dr Anderson was the key speaker.
He gave a presentation that
showed pupils how to divide by zero, consistently, using only arithmetical
methods. The
presentation was accompanied by one paper and pencil exercise in which
pupils proved that their age is less than infinity, and an exercise
involving mobile 'phones that demonstrated that computers fail when
dividing by zero. At the end of the day, Dr Anderson presented prizes to
the day's three winning teams.
Horndean Technology College,
shown here, won first prize. Second prize went to Swanmore
College of Technology and third prize to Cams Hill
School.
