Go the Hawks!!!

Wooh go the Hawks. 7 in a row. I got back from the very exciting game and decided to start so this is my first saturday post (its technically saturday now).

Tims at a wedding tomorrow and Bryce is at his dads and David hasn't signed up for this yet so it'll be me for today... unless Nick decides to pop up.

Seeing as all the others are gonna be busy im gonna try to work on some of the items that I can do such as item 17... Im sure i have a collection of toy dinosaurs around somewhere.

Anyway good night and in the morning i'll be OTH.

OTH you may ask. Yes thats our Item 72. =). It means off to hunt.

Night All.

Harry Potter

Well, we havent acheived a whole lot more, but we played the Harry Potter quidditch card game for a few hours!

Nah, we had fun, filming an infomercial for salvation! Buy one get one free... But only for the next ten minutes!!

Also, ive been hooked on yet another iphone game: angry birds. Oh dear.

Now for a reality TV journal entry! Lets go Tim =P


Look fwd to hearing lots from Ethan over the weekend, im at Dads, and maybe Nick will surprise us with some well thought out words.

PS. There are lots of hundreds and thousands!!! We've only got to 2000 and its hardly anything!

CAKE!!!!!

Today we made cake... Masterchef style.

Surprisingly the end result ended up looking really good. Unfortunately the video is too big to be loaded on so the pictures will have to suffice.

Also today we came up with our team name, mascot etc. The Dominators with our domino mascot.
Also today we made Tim eat two fingerfuls of wasabi... unfortunately he didnt cry this time.

So whats up for the rest of the day? Maybe we might go back to the BMX track for some clay or save a dying puppy. Who knows.

WHY?!?!

Note to self: never do calculus before bed (see below entry). MY BRAIN WOULDNT LET ME SLEEP!

First, it wanted to further the applications of the pie thing (what about eliptical pies, or non linear depths?), then, it moved on to designing a catapult (which i dont think will happen) before finishing up with an EPIC Rube Goldberg machine (i seriously hope it can be done).

Then i finally got some sleep...

With any luck, my team will turn up in the nearish future, and we can continue hunting; hopefully starting by making up a team name =P any suggestions?


Maybe Nick will chime in a bit more today; he's was probably just shy

The Volume of Pi

Wow, that was fun!

i just used a combination of Specialist and Uni maths to find a general solution for the volume of a pie, taking into account the depth, size and slope of the sides.

I came out with an answer (after about half an hour), but felt that surely something must have gone wrong in the workings (there were alot of pronumerals flying around). So, i pulled out one of Mum's pie dishes, measured its dimensions and plugged the numbers into my formula. The solution was 1.36 litres, so i poured about that much into a jug, and slowly tipped into my pie dish. I was getting worried for a moment there, but the water came right up to the top and formed the bubble sort of skin thing just on the upper edge!! Perfect!!!

I was so excited that i proceeded to pour the water back into the jug, and ended up with it all over the oven, bench, sink, floor and even into one of the drawers... But hey, even that couldnt dampen my spirits, i have a formula for the volume of a pie!!

And i believe there was a quote somewhere in there of "i must be a genius" in disbelief. Leonie laughed...

Now, i need sleep. Photos and Videos tomorrow!


-Who else =P

David

Well, we're definitely off to a good start, with a star player in David Wynn. He constructs helicopters, eats white toast, walks the runway and more! As well as doing an excellent hyena impersonation... constantly...

Tim is in a singing sort of mood (be afraid), and im wondering how we're gonna last out the whole week.

Though i suppose Ethan will bring some civility (so long as he doesnt decide to march in the rain) when he joins us (hopefully) tomorrow.

Nick was a bit quiet today, maybe he'll pipe up some more in days to come

Over and out!

Bryce =]

btw, any thoughts on what animal i am?

And we're off!

Well, I am at least... The list looks great, with lots of maths, and making stuff!

People are coming over soonish, but ive already got a couple:


211. Straight out of the BB cash tin! (replaced, of course) 2006, if you're interested.

81. Its a beautiful world. With me, Tim, Ethan and Nick in it!!

180. He made it!


So far so good, and now my team has turned up (except for Ethan)

Bring it on!!
