Triangulation Stations!A lab in pinpointing the precise location of an eventProcedure:There are 10 different locations in the room that are marked 1-10. You will find a short question / situation at each location. You will be given about 15 minutes to create the puzzle for the other to solve. You should do the following. In your space, figure out where the 4 (in one case only 3!) things should go. For the item that solves the puzzle (the thing the other groups will be looking for, you are to place the correct word in this location. Please place other words nearby or in deceiving locations so it is not obvious which word is the correct answer to the secret location being described in the short problem.After you have set up your problem, you will then go to each station created by another student and locate the correct word at the hidden spot. Record your words in the space below.Once you are finished, unscramble what you have written down.A correct response will be worth bonus points. Good luck!My correct responses to each location:1. __________________________________2. __________________________________3. __________________________________4. __________________________________5. __________________________________6. __________________________________7. __________________________________8. __________________________________9. __________________________________10. __________________________________11. __________________________________12. __________________________________The quote:Who said it and why?1.‘X’ marks the spot!We have intercepted the diaries of three infamous, bloodthirsty, looting pirates.

The Deadly Bite!Dr. Archie Ologist was out in the jungle searching for the pirates buried treasure when he was bitten by a black mamba! He managed to make it back to his lab, but he would certainly die within minutes if he did not find the antidote. He told his three research assistants that he needed the green, red, and blue potions mixed together to make the antidote. His research assistants were none too bright, however. They found the potions, but forgot where Dr. Archie Ologist lab was! Well, the doctor was thinking in advance! He wrote the distance to the lab on each potion container.1. Tom Mato found the red potion. It had a 15” marked on the label.2. Assistant Nick Roses-Gangreen found the green potion. It had an 8” marked on the label.3. Assistant Lou Berry found the blue potion. It had a 20” marked on the label.Where was the doctor’s headquarters?Red, blue, green potions, HQ3.The Alliterate AffluentPatty the Penguin planned a party.

Harmon hit the ball toward the Twinkie wrapper which was exactly three feet away.3. Hank hit the ball toward the marble.

GPS Debacle!A GPS system requires 3 satellites in order to operate correctly. A phone call was made by a kidnapper and the cell phone location was traced using GPS system. Unfortunately, the third satellite was not working at the time, and only two satellites picked up the kidnappers signal. The police decided to split their forces into two groups and send half of the cops to one location and the other half to the other location. Here is the information they received from the satellites.1. Satellite number one recorded the cell phone signal and estimated that the phone was 5 feet, 9 inches away.2. Satellite number one recorded the cell phone signal and estimated that the phone was 3 feet, 11 inches away.Where are the possible locations of the kidnapper’s whereabouts? (you will need to get two words here!)Satellite #1, Satellite #2, Kidnapper7. The Great EscapeThree animals escaped from one of the town’s many zoos, but they do not know which zoo the animals escaped from! They do know that the animals escaped precisely at 10:00 pm. Look at the following information and identify the zoo from which the animals came so they can quickly be returned!1. The cheetah was captured at 10:04.

Capitol CoverThree Limousines left a secret location at 9:00 am. 1. Limo #1 could only travel 30 cm per minute. 2. Limo #2 travelled 60 cm per minute. 3. Limo #3 travelled at 47 cm per minute. The time is now 9:03 am. Where is the secret location?Limo #1, Limo #2, Limo #3, Capitol Building10. Lead-foot LucyOn Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Lucy was pulled over for driving too fast. Each time the police officer asked her what she was doing and her responses can be found below. After the third day, the officer gave her a citation to appear in court.
