This morning we discussed the upcoming egg event (November 3rd - mark your calendar). The rules of this years challenge were revealed and speculation/planning began. Next week everyone has materials they are supposed to be bringing along so please check with your DI'er and pester them about gathering and bringing their supplies. With the egg event approaching so rapidly we will decide after next weeks meeting if we need to schedule an additional weekend meeting to finish preparations.
Speaking of meeting times I was planning on meeting Wednesday mornings every week. Please let me know if you have any major conflicts with that.
We also briefly discussed team names, many ideas were generated but nothing really stuck. Here are some examples:
-The Froot Loops
-All Star DI'ers (I've abbreviated this ASDI and named the blog this for now)
-Something to do with bananas (I can't remember what word they paired with banana)
-Oompa Loompas
-Sloop Dog the Avenger
We also did a brief instant challenge. The challenge was a take off on a classic puzzle called the farmer, the fox, the chicken, and the corn. The farmer has to cross a river in a row boat. There is only enough room in the row boat for him and one other item (the fox, the chicken, or the corn). If the farmer leaves the fox and chicken alone the fox will eat the chicken, if he leaves the chicken and the corn alone with chicken will eat the corn. How can the farmer get everything across the river? This is a fun little challenge, label some pieces of paper and see if you can figure it out. After a couple of small hints we finally figured it out.
Next week we will work a lot on our egg contraption but I will also bring an instant challenge along. We didn't have any serious discussions about a main challenge selection for the season, we probably won't get too deep into that until after the egg event.
I took a couple of pictures (see link below) of the newly formed team.
That is all for this week,
Mr. H
