-The challenge of this game was to get the ball to pass through everybody's hands in the shortest time possible. Also it had to at least touch the person's hand, at first, and it it couldn't be just in one person's hand and everybody just touch it at the same time. The second challenge was pretty much the same as the first except that the ball had to leave the person's hand before it could touch another and be passed on. Finally, for the last challenge it was the same constraints except the ball actually had to be in mid-air before it could reach the next person's hand and one person had to touch it twice on our team.
-We collaboratively, in a sort of football huddle way, came up with the idea to make a sort of ramp for the ball using our hands and the force of gravity and tested it several times to make the necessary adjustments. We all stood next to each other in two parallel lines to be able to fit our hands into the ramp formation without being uncomfortable. Then with the second challenge we used a different technique that we came up with where again using the force of gravity we would let the ball start with one person and that person would flip their hand and let it drop to the next person and so on until it reached the end. Our third and final idea was our best, our best friend gravity came along again and starting from somebody holding it at the top we arranged our hands in vertical order with our fingers like bristles. The person let the ball drop and on the way down the ball would just push through our hands as if they were doors all the way down. It was extremely effective.
-As for our team ideas, the thing we did that worked out for the best was toss ideas around test them and make adjustments accordingly and we just chose the best idea.
-I would add just more challenging constraints like minimum amount of time in the air or a minimum distance between the players simply to make it more fun and to make us think a little harder on our strategies. It would be a good way to learn to think outside of the box to attain ideas we might have not thought of before.
-Our plans couldn't have worked better, we won the first challenge and the third challenge fair and square and way before the other team.
