2. The Problem
A tremendous flood has washed through your neighborhood, leaving the roads impassable. It will be at least three days before the water will recede enough for travel in or out. In the meantime, your team is lucky enough to have plenty of food for a week or more. Unfortunately, the team across the street has absolutely NO food! The strong current in the flooded street between you makes it impossible to cross. Help! You and your team must build a device that will launch food over the raging water to save the people on the other side. (The food is a candy pumpkin, the river is the space between the tables.)
