Riddle Follow-up

On Wednesday and Friday last week, I had the group serve as "testers" for the riddles the partners had written on Monday. (See the post "Math Riddles.") Each worked with his/her partner from Monday. We took a riddle and went through the clues one by one. Each clue narrowed down the possibilities of which frog counters were in the bag. Once we had gone over all of the clues, we determined if we were left with only one possible solution. Two of the riddles succeeded in revealing the solutions. Three needed one or two more clues. Usually the partners who wrote the riddle were able to come up with additional clues that would work. Where help was needed, members of the group suggested ideas. It was a great example of collaboration.

We enjoyed all of the riddles. Each set of partners had set about the task in their own way, yet all found success in the end.
