No - not the TV show, or hours in a day...
I attended my son's math competition yesterday. It is based on a game called "24". I never heard of it until about a week ago. There are 4 numbers on a wheel on a card (usually single or double digit). When the card is revealed, a student taps the card and then goes through the process of how the four numbers may be added, subtracted, mulitplied, or divided to reach "24". Some of these students have been practicing and get most of them figured out in 3-5 seconds. This is very impressive. For example, a card may have the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. The student could then solve it in any way to get 24. The student could say 1+3 is 4, and 2+4 is 6, 6 times 4 is 24.
How does this relate to SQL Server? Well, I wish there was a "24" game for normalization or joining tables together, but there isn't. If someone wants to undetake that task, great! One of the things that I like about this game is that there is usually more than one way to get to 24. This could be utilized more in our work. How many ways are there to get a certain subset of data? Can you take several steps and combine them to make it easier? The goal is problem solving which is what we are supposed to be good at.
My son won his school grade to get in to the competition, but did not move on from there. I believe the grade ranges are from 4 to 8 for this competition.
