Made up of seventeams, with four people oneach team, each was giventwo preliminary problemswhich were designed to getthe thoughts rolling, saidcoach Ruth Granich, andgave members a feel for thestrict form that had to be followed during the problemsolving process.Last years problems involved space explorationand the legal epidemic (legalproblems of the future); thefinal problem dealt withsports and the use of steroids and/or performance-enhancing drugs.Solutions were sent to apanel of judges to be evaluated and scored strictly oneach given criteria, form andcontent. Good solutions require research and imagination and a lot of thought,said Granich. The end product offers very rewarding results.It gives us a good opportunity to address issues in away that most teachers restrict, said junior PeterRubin.
