DAY+31+MENTOR+CONTEST

Welcome to the first Mentor Class Competition!

__DIRECTIONS__: Work together to complete the following logic and math puzzles. Each mentor class will submit one answer per 'puzzle' while working throughout the mentor period. The mentor group or groups with the most correct answers will receive a reward determined by the Mentor Committee Team and Mr. Primavere.

Teachers please gather responses and submit your group's answers by the end of the day (allowing students to think about and discuss throughout the day) to Mr. Otis (email or index card/paper in mailbox).

Your competition begins NOW...

1) Three surgeons and a clumsy cook go camping in the remote wilderness. The clumsy cook stumbles over the campfire as he is serving the surgeons, injuring himself and dumping hot stew on the hands of the surgeons. The cook's injuries need surgical treatment. The surgeons' injuries are minor but open. It turns out they brought the equipment necessary for the cook's surgery with them, and they can use the campfire to sterilize the tools. But there are only two rubber gloves. Because of the different surgeons' skills, all three of the surgeons are needed to operate on the cook, in sequence. How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?

2) A solo dice game is played where, on each turn, a normal pair of dice is rolled. The score is calculated by taking the product, rather than the sum, of the two numbers shown on the dice. On a particular game, the score for the second roll is five more than the score for the first; the score for the third roll is six less than that of the second; the score for the fourth roll is eleven more than that of the third; and the score for the fifth roll is eight less than that of the fourth. What was the score for each of these five throws?
