1 Final Re-Cap In the last few classes we have solved these problems: Fabergé Eggs: (a) Fred is the owner of 10 original Fabergé Eggs. He has a display case like the one below, and he rearranges the eggs each week. How long will it be before Fred has to repeat an arrangement? (b) Hoping to get a big tax write-off, Fred decides to donate 5 of his Fabergé eggs to a museum. The curator decides to put 3 of them on display at a time, one next to the other as above, and to rearrange the display each week. If Fred visits his donation each week, how long before he’ll have to see a repeated display? Basketball Teams: Fred and 4 of his friends put together a team for a half-court basketball tournament. (Fred is, naturally, the player-coach.) During each game, three people play at a time and unlimited substitutions are allowed. How many different three-person teams could Fred put on the court during the course of a game? (a) Recount strategies and solutions to the three tasks offered in class. (Remember, several different approaches were used to solve part (b) of the Fabergé Eggs task.) (b) Discuss ways in which these tasks are similar, ways in which they are different, and how these similarities and differences help connect the strategies and solutions you discuss in part (a).
