This might take a while.
No robotics tournament? Nooo!
Nancy has a proper hacker mindset, though.
Hire Nancy Ritz as your Videographer today, to document events you would truly rather forget……
Speaking of every problem having many creative solutions. Why cancel the robotics tournament? Couldn’t they send a remote controlled NASA like robotic rover equipped with a camera to the tournament and watch the event remotely?
There’s a classic test of creative thinking ability. The subject is asked to list as many uses as they can think of for a brick.
Paper weight, weapon, door stop, delivery system for a message tied to it, etc.
The other classic of this sort is to ask for all the ways to use a barometer to determine the height of a building.
My two favorites:
1. Drop the barometer from the top of the building, time its fall, and calculate in terms of the acceleration of gravity.
2. Go to the building superintendent and say, “I will give you this lovely barometer if you will tell me the height of this building.”
They could make a video of how the team handled Nancy!
That’s our gal, always working so hard to avoid working!
Forget nuclear energy. Harness Nancy’s rationalizing skills, and power will be too cheap to meter!
.
Kidding. They’ll ALWAYS meter power.
Avoiding work is much more fun than actually doing work.
“Too big to send”?Not with things like wetransfer. Also, your teacher could make you upload the video on Youtube.
