| - | ====== Project 5: Part B: Escape from Korath | + | ====== Project 5: Part B: Physics Curling |
| You are a gaggle of scientists who have invented an incredibly expensive new form of the game curling. An old spectrometer has been boxed up in a wooden box and is ready for removal to the great lab in the sky after doing its bit for science. The spectrometer has been placed at the top of a concrete ramp, and you all have created a scoring zone at the base of the ramp based on how far the box moves past the ramp. Teams have been made, lines have been drawn, and reputation is on the line. Your team decides to science the shit out of this game and creates a computational model of the motion of the box when it starts with no push. Alas, your programmer has ingested far too many beverages and the model does not seem to be working correctly. Your turn is coming up, create a more accurate model that predicts the motion of the box to the end of the ramp in order to help you to become victorious. | You are a gaggle of scientists who have invented an incredibly expensive new form of the game curling.
