Puzzle:
Formula One is heralded as the pinnacle of technological innovation in sports — and with good reason. With so much money at stake, the highest class of racing attracts some of the best and brightest minds. Engineers and aerodynamicists attract nearly as much attention as drivers when it comes to building teams and working for an F1 team has been called one of the best jobs in science. Millions of dollars are spent trying to achieve the most minute of advantages because discovering a couple hundredths of a second advantage in the wind tunnel can equate to a win on the track — or a championship.
But we’re not about millions of dollars today. Find the hidden message in these Formula One circuits.
Solution:
This one was pretty straight forward. Start by identifying the circuits:
- Magny-Cours
- Adelaide Street Circuit
- Tanaka International Circuit
- Hungaroring
- Fuji Speedway
- Tanaka International Circuit
- Watkins Glen
Pull the first letter from each to get this week’s solution:
MATH FTW!
Thanks to everyone who entered. Check back on Monday when other-Dave will be back with another puzzle that’ll throw a triple chicane at your brain.
