barter puzzle

                               THE BARTER PUZZLE



On the 4th of october we had another interesting activity as usual.This time it was a puzzle.At first we were divided in to serveral groups and one from each team was summoned to the madam's table and all were given a piece of carboard with one side blank and the other side with an image. 
After cutting the board in to 95 pieces madam took 10 pieces from each group and mixed those pieces with other groups pieces. Our group also had 10 pieces from another group. Then our madam gave us our envelops which included 85 pieces from the board we cut and 10 pieces from another group. And our task is to complete the picture in the board as it was before cutting into pieces. 
Everyone got together and tried to remake the picture with the pieces. And we could find some of the 10 pieces which were mixed with another group's pieces. But remaking the puzzle was bit difficult because the pieces are too small and there were about 95 pieces. So could not finish the work on the first day itself. So our madam told us to number the pieces that we managed to gather correctly. We numbered the pieces and put them into the envelop and gave to our madam.

On the second day our first task is to regather the pieces that we gathered on the first day. It took about 45 minutes to gather those pieces. and then the hard part came. We had to gather other pieces too. We worked on our task on the rest of our time but unfortunately we couldn't remake the picture gathering all the pieces with the given time.
