This assignment must be done with a partner. The final submission should contain the name of both partners. Only one partner should actually make the submission to Web-CAT. Your solutions should clearly explain, for each question, the contribution for each partner. Partners should work together on the problems, not independently.
DO NOT LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS THEMSELVES UNTIL YOU ARE SITTING WITH YOUR PARTNER AND DOING THE PROBLEMS AS A PAIR.
The first five problems require that you complete a series of letters or numbers. These should not be too hard for one person to do while the other acts as listener. The last five problems are lateral thinking problems. These are likely to appear more difficult. Both partners might need to contribute to finding the solution (somewhat breaking the "solver/listener" model). Be assured that each problem has an answer, and once discovering (or hearing) the answer, most people would be satisfied that it is "correct". The lateral thinking problems are all similar in that they tend to be difficult due to "blind" spots.
