Well done to everybody who attempted last week’s question. Both Andie and Kasha commented with correct ways to make 99 and have won 5 HPs each. Go back to the challenge to see their correct answers.
And here is this week’s challenge…
Start the maze with no money. Go through the maze, collecting and losing your money as you go. You may not go through any box more than once, and can only go into a box through a gap, for example, you may not go from 5 to 6, or from 7 to 3.
For example:
Start -> Box 1 + £100 (£100) -> Box 5 lose £50 (£50) -> Box 9 + £10 (£60) -> Box 13 lose £10 (£50) -> Box 14 + £20 (£70) -> Box 15 lose £10 (£60) -> Box 16 + £30 (£90) ->
I come out with £90 at the end of the maze.
What is the biggest amount of money you can come out of the maze with? Comment on the blog below and show your working – the person with the biggest amount at the end of the week will get 5 HPs!

Hi Kacie-Lily and Demi – if you read the instructions again it says “You may not go through any box more than once” and you have included 12 and 16 twice. Have another go 🙂
… and I’ve just made £600 too Miss Jackson!
Oh Demi and Kacie Lily are we cheating? 😉

£90 and £360 are great amounts to get guys, well done!
Hi Joseph – that is a great way to make £850 but in the problem it says you can only go through each box once. Can you have another go?
