Shirley's spaceship is currently at the star. She plans to drop 2024 sensors, one at each location indicated by a black dot in the pattern begun above. No sensor is dropped at her starting location. How many sensors will there be on the last straight segment that Shirley travels, right after she drops the 2024th sensor?
About the Competition
Girls’ Adventures in Math is a team-based online math challenge created for girls! Competition questions come in comic form based on the lives of four of history’s greatest women. Girls work together in their teams to solve the problems. There are two levels of competition, each with two rounds of mind-bending problems to solve:
Elementary (grades 3-5)
Middle School (grades 6-8)

MEET the GAIM 2024 featured women!
To spark your inspiration, GAIM recognizes four great women from history every year, and presents the competition problems in the context of their lives. Our GAIM 2024 women are Eunice Newton Foote of the US, Sarojini Naidu of India, Mary Golda Ross of the US, and Lyudmila Rudenko of Ukraine (former USSR). Visit our GAIM 2024 women page to read short biographies. We want GAIM girls to know the remarkable women who came before them, so that they are inspired to reach for their dreams!
Each time a girl opens a book and reads a
womanless history, she learns she is worth less.
