Bit of a Challenge

Today we have had a bit of a group challenge. Getting into groups of 2-3, with a Netbook each, we faced a series of questions that were mostly unknown to us such as…

· How many Japanese Yen in $1 New Zealand.

· What country is Mount Kilimanjaro in?

· How do you say “What is the time?” in Spanish?

We each had to take roles like Decider, Mouse Controller, Recorder or Scout, and we had to work together to find out the answers in a set time.

There were a few bumps in the road that caused small problems and when the printer was not working there was a lot of frustration, but in the end most of the answers were found and there is 2.74 kilograms in 6 pounds.

The main discovery is that with the internet we can find most answers, but we just need to be sure that to begin we have a question to ask.

So below is a question that I have about a man called Pythagoras. I am sure that by using https://www.google.com/, http://www.wikipedia.org/ and http://www.youtube.com/ you might be able to answer the questions.
