Using that information, use your math skills to find out what is the number for each of the student in the equations.
​The number not used will be Captain's number.
Only your most recent answer will be accepted.
- 2 points for the correct answer.

UNTANGLED MYSTERY

Picture
Princess Fuli is the new Rapunzel in the movie "Tangled 2." In this movie, the princess' hair grew 100 feet longer while waiting for new prince, "Dopey", to come to the tower.
​If the princess h
air grows one inch every two months, then how long (in months or years) had the fair maiden Finer Fuli been trapped in the tower until Prince Dopey rang the castle bell? 
Facts:  1 foot = 12 inches, 1 year = 12 months
​(4 pts.)


ANSWER:
If 1 inch = 2 months, then 12 months (1 year) = 6 inches,
​If 1 year = 6 inches, then 
2 years = 12 inches or 1 foot.
The princess' hair grew 100 ft. Therefore,  100 ft. x 2 years = 200 years (or 2,400 months)

You are attending your family reunion. Your sister is talking to 3 people: your Grandmother Mary, your Cousin Bo, and your Uncle Bill. WHO ARE YOU? (3 points)
Picture
ANSWER (given facts are in bold):
​
​Since your grandmother is Mary, you are in the grandchildren row.
You have a sister.
There are three girls that can be your sister: Molly, Megan, and Missy.
Your cousin is Bo: Your sister cannot be Molly.
Your uncle is Bill: Your sister cannot be Megan.
​Therefore, your sister is Missy. So that means...
YOU ARE BERNIE! 😎

Who wins? Frogs, Turtles, or Tie??

8/23/2026

17 Comments

 
Given that the first two tug-of-war contests shown below are ties, which group (frogs or turtles) will win the third contest, or will it also be a tie? (8pts. possible)
* HINT: The key is in the 1st contest! 😎
​- 3 points for the correct answer (Frogs, Turtles, OR Tie).
- 5 bonus points for a logical explanation on how you got your answer.
Picture
ANSWER:
1st contest
: If 2 snails = 3 frogs,
then
4 snails = 6 frogs.
2nd contest: If 3 turtles = 4 snails, and 4 snails = 6 frogs, then 3 turtles = 6 frogs. From this, we can conclude that 2 turtles = 4 frogs.
3rd contest: Since 2 turtles = 4 frogs, and there are 5 frogs against 2 turtles,
of course the FROGS would WIN by a ribbit!
WINNERS:
3 points: Rodrigo, Danny, Ahmad, Grayson, Zakary, Sonika, Andres, Dalton
