There was a challenge offered. Create a bridge using a single 3x5 index card, folding it in a way of your choice, that will allow it to hold as many pennies as possible. The students folded and refolded and tested, even the staff attempted it. At the end the winning bridge held 150 pennies with the second place holding 90 and the third place holding 75.
