Today in class, we played the pyramid challenge game and worked in pairs. The first two pairs got an A, the next two got a B, if you finished in class you got a C, and if you didn't you got a 0. We started the challenge with picking the location, in which we want the pyramid to be built. Then we chose the angles and the type of rock to built the pyramid in. We had a choice on the workforce of slaves, craftsmen, farmers, and officials. It also gave us choices on food for the workers, how often they would get fed, and what supplies you would give them. Then, we would sail on the Nile to the location of the pyramid. We learned all about reference lines and ramp theories. We built the pyramid, and that was the end of the game. Meredith and I finished second in our class, and got an A. We were so happy we finished quickly, and got a good grade.
