Challenge Problem Showdown- April 29, 2013
We invite you to test your GMAT knowledge for a chance to win! Each week, we will post a new Challenge Problem for you to attempt. If you submit the correct answer, you will be entered into that week’s drawing for a free Manhattan GMAT Prep item. Tell your friends to get out their scrap paper and start solving!
Here is this week’s problem:
In a certain type of tiling called Penrose P3 tiling, two types of rhombi fill a space without gaps or overlaps: wide rhombi and narrow rhombi. If five of the wide rhombi can meet symmetrically at a single point, while ten of the narrow rhombi can, what is the ratio of the largest angle in one narrow rhombus to the largest angle in one wide rhombus?
