Given: Two strings or heavy yarn, 8 feet each, two plastic or styrofoam cups,4 paper clips, one fly swatter, one gallon container and 12 golf balls.
Mark two lines on the floor about 7 feet apart with the gallon container placed at the center point between them. The team has 7 minutes to discuss and practice their solution. The problem is to transport as many balls as possible to be emptied into the gallon container. Team members must work from behind the marked lines. They may not step over the lines or touch the floor beyond the lines, however, they may reach across the lines. Two members must be on one side, three members on the other side.
Allow 2 minutes for the problem solution. You receive 5 points for each ball in the bucket.
