Re: paper: Triple_Shape
This PDF contains a puzzle and its solution that I found particularly interesting for FIRSTers. It has a block of wood with a circle, square, and a triangle cut into it. Students are given clay and instructed to make a solid 3D shape that when properly oriented, it would exactly match the profiles in the block.
The resultant shape reminds me of the speech Dean gave at the championship for Dean's List (I think). The one about the logo and how the cone, cylinder, and sphere are related.
Personally, I think the resultant shape of challenge would make an excellent award. It has a solid base and a nice presentation face and proportion to it. If anyone has contacts at the main office, please forward this on.
