1) A Message from the IMI Director
 
 
Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to inform you that we have a new member in our institute: José Ignacio Caamaño Cristóbal. José Ignacio is a student of the Master in Advanced Mathematics and joined IMI with a scholarship for practical training. Welcome! 

In other news, unfortunately Tzveta Petkova has ceased to be the administrative secretary of IMI due to technical issues of her contract. We thank her for the wonderful service and we hope she can rejoin IMI in September.

 7) Math Puzzle

 
Puzzle sent by Kjartan Poskitt
The solution will be provided in the next issue of Boletin del IMI.



Solution to last week's Math Puzzle, sent by Rik Tangerman and published on issue No. 96 of the Boletín del IMI:

Six congruent equilateral triangles placed inside a regular hexagon. What fraction is coloured?


The coloured fraction is 4/7. 



This is one of those configurations that can easily be dissected in regions of known area proportion. The coloured fraction is 24/42=4/7.
