Congratulations to the winners of the Math Awareness Month contest!
The competition, to mark April as Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, was open to staff and students.
The contest:
- LeBron and Adele play Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock tentimes.
- There are no ties in the games.
- The order of the games is unknown.
- LeBron uses paper once, scissors six times, lizard once, Spock once, and rock once.

Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and rock crushes scissors.
