A* maths me!
I’ll go for Rodri.
Welcome to the Cisco Squad Maths Challenge.
We're joined by Stefan Ortega, Scott Carson and Riyad Mahrez.
And via Webex, we've got Zoya and Suyash.
Hello!
Two of our Young Leaders from the Goals for Life Project in Mumbai,
where Cisco and Cityzens Giving
have joined forces,
to use the combined power
of football and technology
to empower better futures for young people.
Zoya, can you tell us a little bit more about the work that you're doing
as Young Leaders?
We use football as a tool to deliver powerful and positive
impact sessions that include life skills.
That is communication, problem solving, critical thinking, decision making,
which helps children in their futures and present outcomes.
It's absolutely brilliant.
The work you do is so, so wonderful.
We know the project uses football to educate children on STEM subjects.
So, today, we're going to put your math skills to the test.
All you need to do is just write down
a name on your whiteboard
and show us the name.
Then, we're going to turn that into a sum.
They need to remember the players squad numbers.
They're going to work out the answer,
and then the first person,
to show us their answer gets the point.
So, first question for you all.
Who's your funniest teammate?
I can’t write myself, can I?
You can write yourself if you want.
Riyad?
Scott.
Kyle.
Scott again.
And Scott.
Okay, so.
Scott, add Kyle, add Scott.
Go!
Have you done that already? - I think so.
Zoya has gone 68, is that?
Scott, what’s your number? - 33.
33+33+2...
Very good.
A point goes to Zoya there.
Question number two:
Who scored the best goal this year?
- Who did they give it to? - Who do you think?
Riyad, if you think it’s you then say you. - Oh no.
I think Gündo, against Everton.
Okay, we’ve got Gündo.
I think Erling’s overhead.
I’ve gone with Rodri against Bayern.
Because it was his left foot.
So we've got the sum for you.
Gündogan, add Haaland, minus Rodri.
Zoya is in for one.
Is the answer one?
It is! Very good!
Scott, did you get that by the way?
Yeah, easy. A* maths me. - Of course you did, you got one.
Which of your teammates has the best fashion sense?
I’ll go for Rodri.
I’ll go for Bernardo.
Rodri.
Okay, Rodri.
Bernardo.
Bernardo?!
Stones.
And Stones.
So we'd like you to do:
Rodri, minus Bernardo, add Stones.
And feel free to shout it out.
Nine.
No.
Oh okay. - Nine!
It’s four, minus four?
24? Who’s 24? - Okay you’ve both gone nine.
I think it’s one.
Scott thinks it’s one.
Riyad thinks it's one.
Rodri at 16,
minus Bernardo at 20,
plus John Stones at five...
One!
So nobody got, well you guys got it.
But our Young Leaders didn’t get it.
Who has the worst taste in music?
From what I listen, of Bernardo,
I think it’s him.
Okay, go Bernardo. - Singing every day like.
Yeah, the theatre songs, he likes to sing them.
Does he?
Bernardo.
Bernardo likes his theatre songs.
Okay.
So it’s Bernardo,
times Rodri,
add Gündo.
I forgot how to do this!
Go on Scott!
328. - I think it’s 328.
Okay. Suyash it is 328,
and I know it is,
because Scott Carson told me it was,
because he’s very good at maths.
So well done.
Okay, it's 2-1.
Apart from Manu,
who is the best at maths in the team.
I think me now!
Okay. So we’ve got Gündo,
plus Aké.
Plus, - What I've seen today.
Scott. - Scott!
Okay, very good.
Zoya, you nearly there?
Oh, okay. 47.
That was really close.
The answer is... Did you get that one Scott?
I was waiting on plus, times...
How did our Young Leaders do,
seeing as you are now the resident maths expert?
Yeah, they weren’t too far behind me, so,
they must be good if they’re
a couple of seconds behind.
I think the winner was Zoya.
Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks for playing the Cisco Squad Maths Challenge.
