At 2:10 pm, the first Challenge of the competition was underway with the goal of launching an object as far as the team could using any of the objects that was made with the tasks. Braving the cold late Fall weather with gusting 2 mph winds, temperatures sub-60/greater than-40 degrees, and sunshine illuminating all the surrounding lands, 3 of the 5 participating teams did their best to send an apple into the depths of space.
Po's team fashioned a crazy rubber band spider web contraption worthy of the Greek gods of Athens. Using their brawns, the team was able to send their apple all the way to 1.5 feet from their initial position.
Wah's team, using the old tried and true apparatus of a slingshot, was able to fling the apple to the heavens and back. And by heavens, I mean a foot or two into the air, and by back, I mean 1.5 feet in front of them.
The winning team was Caroline's team with the amazingly creative...slingshot. With 2.5 feet of clearage, the team was able to claim the prize for this Challenge.
The winning prize is the ability to knock out a couple of ingredients that have not already been chosen. With this new found power, they knocked out the bittersweet chocolate and the honey.
Now that most teams have most of the ingredients, many of them went to grocery stores and/or started their cooking. The GAME IS ON!!!
