Nonverbal. The problem is to suspend or elevate a paper plate above a table and put marbles on the plate without having them fall off. You will have 3 minutes think time when the team is allowed to talk, 5 minutes to construct and 2 minutes to put marbles on – no talking during part 2 & 3 but other communication is allowed.
Scoring: 2 points for each inch the plate is above the table, 5 points for each marble on the plate.
