Survival at Sea game

- We played a game called Survival at Sea, and it had 15 iteams where we had to list the most important from the least important and #1 would be most needed, #15 least needed. The story was that we were lost in the middle of the ocean and had to choose our most important from the least important item. 

 - Our first pick was 25 Liters of water and our second choice was a fishing kit. You need food and water for survival the most in our opinion, so that was our #1 and 2. The coast guard had a different view in choosing their order, they were most worried about getting rescued fastest, so their first choice were like reflecting mirrors and oil.

 - Our last choice was the sextant because it was useless to use since we werent given a star chart. The one item our whole group had similar was water for #1 because you cant survive a couple of days without fresh water. The item that most of my group had different than me was oil.

 - How we came to conclusion was telling each other why we chose what we chose and if we couldnt agree, than we would vote. Our group had only 3 similar number choices that the coast gaurd had but we had 5 that were only 1 number difference. I think water should have been #1 on the coast guard because you wont get dehydrated, refuels your energy, and gives you a longer chance of survival.

Tennis Ball Game

What was the challenge (list criteria and constraints)? Our main challenge with the tennis was for just everyone to touch the ball one at a time or same games, everyone can touch it at once. The constraints were different each game. One was everyone needs to touch the ball but one at a time. Another constraint was we had to stand arms length across and couldnt pass the ball to the person next to you. We also played one game that we had to have our eyes closed.

What plan did your team come up with to solve the challenge? We had differnet plans, for the game that only one person can touch the ball one at a time, we put the ball on the ground in the middle of us and one person would touch it after the other. For the game with our eyes closed, we put 1 person in the middle of our group with the ball and they spun in a circle with our hands out enough to touch the ball and everyone had their eyes closed. We were able to come up with a good plan for each constraint.

How did the execution of your plan work out? Our executions worked out perfectly even without testing some of them. They were quick and efficient and were imbetween the constraints.

What would you do the same? The thing I would do the same would be the plan we used for having our eyes closed with one person in the middle and they would spin and touch the ball to everyones hands.

What would you do differently? The thing I would do different would be instead of using the ground for each one touching the ground at once I would use our hands to make a slope and drop the ball from the top and make sure it touches everyones hand. This the the only constraint we didn't win.
