The International T-Shirt Challenge

What was the first recorded human -made object? Why is a blue potato blue? How many actors have played Superman? How many full -grown Asian elephants can be carried on the RMS Queen Elizabeth II? Me and KBQ. KBQ and I first met at Jefferson Elementary. Katie's a whiz at the keyboard. That's why I call her KBQ, Keyboard Queen We made up this game. We called super brainy adventures or SBAs We took turns challenging each other with brain stumpers

有记录的首个人造物品是什么？ 蓝土豆为什么是蓝色的？ 一共有多少位演员演过超人？ 伊丽莎白二世女王邮轮能载多少头成年亚洲象？ 我和KBQ。 KBQ和我第一次相遇在杰斐逊小学。 凯蒂玩键盘可太厉害了。 所以我叫她KBQ，也就是键盘女王。 我们一起想出来一个游戏。 我们叫它超级脑力冒险，简称SBA，轮流用难题考对方

Now, we're at Independence Middle School. Our SBAs have grown into MMQs, Master Mind Quests. Last week, I challenged KBQ to find a musical or opera from the 19th century that was the basis for a modern movie. It took her right up until our deadline to come up with an answer. This week, it is KBQ's turn to try to stump me.

现在，我们升上了独立中学。 我们的SBA升级成了MMQ，也就是脑力大师挑战。 上周，我给KBQ出题：找一部十九世纪、改编成现代电影的音乐剧或歌剧。 她直到截止时间才想出答案。 这周，轮到KBQ来难住我了。

CHALLENGE GIVEN, CHALLENGE TAKEN. READY, WEB BOY, SHE SAID. GO KEYBOARD QUEEN. This quest is called the International T -Shirt Challenge. It involves worldwide research, mathematics, culture, and currency. Imagine you have five hundred dollars to spend. You must spend it all on kids' t -shirts. But the hitch is you must spend it among five countries. The person who has bought the most T -shirts and has the least amount of their $500 left wins. The challenge, as always, ends on Friday at 3 o 'clock.

挑战已发出，接下挑战吧。 准备好了哦，网络小子，她说。 出发吧，键盘女王。 这次挑战叫做国际T恤挑战。 它需要做全球调研，还要用到数学、文化和货币知识。 假设你有五百美元可以消费。 你必须把钱全花在儿童T恤上。 但要求是你必须在五个国家分别消费。 买到T恤最多、五百美元剩余最少的人获胜。 和往常一样，挑战周五三点截止。

international t -shirt challenge attention all kids I have written before about the challenges I trade with my friend keyboard Queen this week she chose a shopping spree not exactly up my alley I need your help please if you had $100 in United States currency what is the largest number of kids t -shirts you

国际T恤挑战 各位小朋友请注意，我之前写过我和朋友键盘女王互相出题挑战。这周她选了疯狂购物，这可不太对我的路子 请帮帮我：如果给你一百美元，你最多能买到多少件儿童T恤

The search begins. Starting with the USA, I went to my favorite search engine and typed in kids t -shirts. I checked the results. Our house rule is that mom has to look at and approve anything I find on the internet. I ended up at Almo's gigantic store. They had a sale on t -shirts, one, for $4 .99. I used my calculator. That would be 20 t -shirts from Alamo's Gigantic Store for a total of $99 .80.

搜寻开始了。 先从美国开始，我打开最喜欢的搜索引擎，输入了儿童T恤。 我查看了搜索结果。 我们家的规矩是，我在网上找的所有内容都要妈妈先审核同意。 最后我找到了阿尔莫大商场。 他们的T恤正在打折，一件4.99美元。 我用计算器算了算。 在阿尔莫大商场买20件总共花99.80美元。
