During one of my first Project Adventure trainings (back in the day), I was introduced to the Master Mind Relay (MMR). For the most part the Relay was a variety of puzzles we, as a group, had to solve for a score. (At one time Project Adventure sold a Master Mind Relay kit - I couldn't find it on their site at the time of this post.)
During the "relay" some of us worked alone, in pairs, or small groups moving from puzzle to puzzle area. Since I have always been fascinated with puzzles (but really not the best at solving them) I really liked working with others to figure out solutions.
After this Project Adventure experience I went on to put together my own MMR kit which included Equation Analysis Tests. I found them in the GAMES World of Puzzles magazine (again, back in the day). Recently I discovered the GAMES magazine is still around and, to my delight, there was a re-visit of the Equations on the May 2015 cover. Of course, I was inspired.
In my old kit I had a sheet of paper (which I still have) with a list of Equations. For more playability I've created a deck of 24 Equations (with several playable ideas) that are ready to print and play. Go to my Resources page, go down to the Activity Tools, and look for the Equation Analysis Test Cards, Deck #1 and have some fun.
Here are a handful of Equations to get the party started - and, of course, there is one at the top of the post as well! (See the PDF on the Resources page for the answers if you need them.)
3 = S. and you're O.
5 = D. in a Z. C.
8 = S. on a S. S.
12 = S. of the Z.
26 = L. of the A.
31 = F. at B.-R.
88 = P. K.
1001 = A. K.
Send me your favorite Equations through the Comments below.
