| 3 | Runner's
Activity http://mathforum.org/tpow/print_puzzler.ehtml?puzzle=204 This example includes a software simulation of two runners along a track. The goal is to reach the tree at the same time. Students can control the speeds and starting points of the runners, watch the race, and examine a graph of the time-versus-distance relationship. |

That's a 93.5% return on their initial investment. What was their secret of success? Having 150 shares of Apple stock which shot up through the roof in Round 10! |
