What you’ll build
Three islands, three sea lanes and one big question. Mark each dock with a glowing tower, work out the straight-line distances from coordinates, then race each route. Find out if the straight line is really fastest and crown the winning route.
Finish line: Every sea lane is timed and the fastest delivery route is posted at your dock.
Bonus challenge: Race a family member on the longest route, both in boats. The loser hauls the winner's cargo on the next delivery run.
You’ll need
- A boat
- A timer
- A calculator
- Blocks for glowing towers
You choose
- My shipping company's name
- The 3 islands on my routes
- My bet for the fastest route
Stuck?
- Boat slowing down? Bumping into kelp, land or blocks costs speed, so steer around them.
- Can't see the next dock? Make the towers tall and bright so you can steer straight for them at night.
- Times vary a lot? Use the average of several runs for a fair result.
