St. Albans Raiders Wins Fai-To

The Raiders challenged Cowes Enterprise College from the United Kingdom in one of hundreds of battles, Fai-To, taking place in the the Mangahigh Fai-Tea.  The battles pitted U.S. schools vs U.K. schools in observance of the British Tea Laws that initiated the Boston Tea Party.  The Raiders won five straight rounds and took home their newest trophy, a coffee cup.  This trophy is a replica of the coffee cup used by Andrew Wiles, who finally proved Fermat’s Last Theorem in 1995, just over 300 years after the problem was first noted.
