THE GREAT ELF GAME AIM: To deploy your team of Elves to gain maximum

THE GREAT ELF GAME AIM: To deploy your team of Elves to gain maximum profit for your Ice cube business. OBJECTIVES: You must be able to calculate the price gained for selling your Ice cubes. You should be able to consider probabilities whilst doing this. You could be able to calculate the amount of tax you need to pay without a calculator.

THE CONCEPT You are in charge of an Ice cube business, you have 12

THE CONCEPT You are in charge of an Ice cube business, you have 12 elves that work for you, cutting ice and bringing the cubes back for sale. Each day you must choose whether to send your elves to the ‘Nearby River’ where ice cubes are worth £ 10 or the ‘Faraway Lake’ where ice cubes are worth £ 20. However, elves will not be able to get to the ‘Faraway Lake’ if the temperature rises above 15 degrees and therefore bring no ice cubes back. There is a 1/3 chance of the temperature rising above 15 degrees to start with, then this varies. You have 13 days to make the biggest profit. The business that makes the most profit will win a prize.
