Give instructor top 3 project choice list
The same project has been assigned to everyone in the class. The project title is Chunk Poppit.

Write problem statement
The goal of the project is to find a way to play Poppit and eliminate all of the balloons on the screen every time. I think the best way to pop all of the balloons is to group the highest or lowest amount of colors together and pop them to see which way is more effective.

Assign Task1
I was assigned to find if there was a pattern in the randomization in which the balloons are laid out. I need to find if the there are certain amounts of colors and how many of each color balloon are grouped together.

Compare actual work done to Task 1
I played poppit fifty times using five different strategies and played the game ten times for each strategy. The averages for each game were from 17-25 balloons left in each game. In each of those games I checked to see if there were patterns in the new screen, and it is truly random. The strategies I used were popping the largest groups of one color at a time, that proved to average 23 balloons left over. i tried popping the largest groups starting from the bottom and that averaged 24 balloons left over. Then I tried to random groups of balloons containing three or more of one color, averaging 25 balloons left over. I then focused on all groups of balloons above the presents on the screen which gave me an average of 17 balloons. There was no strategy that I discovered that let me pop all of the balloons every time.

Week1 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.
