Day 16

In class on wednesday, Jimmy started off by splitting the class into two groups, of the women against the men. He wrote a pattern on the board, which was
1
10
11
100
-------
We were supposed to come up with an answer and all agree on it. Astrid and I came up with the same answer of 111. I had noticed almost immediately that there was a pattern of adding an extra one and an extra zero each time. Astrid had come to this conclusion in a similar way, so we used that as our explanation. The mens team had come up with a different answer using the binary system, but I do not know the binary system. Our team explained it pretty well, while their team had to have three different speakers to explain it correctly. Overall, I enjoyed having a group project to do during class.
