Programme 39: On Reflection
Reflections

The children in Maths Mansion suspect there is some connection between Bad Man and Sad Man, but Sad Man denies it. Sad Man demonstrates that his reflection is as far behind the mirror as he is in front. In the warm up session the contestants have to place markers to show the reflection of a triangle. Sad Man decides to take a further look at his reflection, this time using a photograph. He predicts where the reflection should be then measures to check. Bad Man has several school children moving around a grid taking up different positions. Back in the Great Hall the final test involves contestants drawing the reflections of different shapes. The two are happy to win a valuable maths card.
