Challenge Questions
Challenge Questions have been part of P2K projects since the first LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA
broadcast when students were asked: "Mike Castellini's outhouse was painted
black and shaped like a triangle. Why black? Why triangular?" (Do you know the
answer? It's to do with reflectivity but also with mathematics and construction
principles!) CQ's are brainteasers that ask students to think logically and creatively, and to do a
little "out of the box" research to answer the question. But you must be careful--the P2K
team likes to set little traps that are fun to get around. Sometimes the answer is not as
obvious as you think. We invite you to view the CQ's from our past projects. We've included the answers!
