The 12th Man Challenge
Here was today's challenge question. I have a friend who is a college professor who shared this with me. You all did a great job working on it. If you want to continue trying at home or share it with family, here you go! Enjoy!
Figure out how to get the four guys across the
bridge without taking more than 17 minutes!
There are two known answers.
The 12th
Man Challenge
The Dodgen
football team captains and their coach have a game that starts in 17 minutes,
and they must all cross a bridge to get there.
All four guys (the captains) begin on the same side of the bridge. Coach Wilkes has heard from the Mrs.
Lattizori that you are one of Dodgen’s sharpest students and calls on you, an
ardent fan and self-avowed “12th Man,” to help them get across the
bridge. It is nighttime and there is one
flashlight. The rules of the bridge are
as follows:
· A maximum of two people can cross at
one time.
· Any party that crosses the bridge,
either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them.
· The flashlight must be carried back
and forth; it cannot be thrown or otherwise transferred.
· Each guy walks at a different speed,
and a pair is limited to the rate of the slower man’s pace.
o
Michael
takes one (1) minute to cross the bridge
o
Paul
takes two (2) minutes
o
Alan
takes five (5) minutes
o
Larry
takes ten (10) minutes to cross
For example,
if Larry and Michael walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed by the time
they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the
flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the
team.

Benchmark Fraction Flipbook Instructions
Tonight's homework is to complete your faction flipbooks that we started in class. Here are some additional directions incase you are confused.
Starting from the left:
1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1/5, 1/8 and 1/10
The first white flap needs to have the fraction written on it.
The second white flap should have the decimal representation and it written out in words. For example, .25, then write out twenty-five hundredths.
The third white flap should have the percent written on it.
