A group of 8 adults and 2 children are stranded on an island in the middle of a river. They have one boat. The boat can hold only one adult or it can hold upto two children. How many one-way trips does it take for the entire group off the island?
Please join Math/CS Liaison in the Fens on Tuesday @ 4pm as we discover the answer to this problem. We will also discuss upcoming events including PI day and career night.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact Janine Ohnemus @ ohnemus@simmons.edu
