Wouldn’t it be awesome if a tiny helicopter dropped a snack into your hands? That was the idea behind the Tacocopter, a drone that could fly tacos to people. Tacocopter turned out to be a made-up joke, but lots of people still tried to order tacos. Could we have a Cheetocopter? A Chococopter?
Lace up: If the tacocopter delivers tacos, burritos, corn chips and candy bars, how many types of snacks does it serve?
Jog: If the Tacocopter hovers 9 feet above you, then drops down 2 feet, then flies up 1 foot, how high above you is it now?
Sprint: If 2 Crunchcopters fly over you, and each one brings you 2 bags of pretzels and 2 bags of chips, how many bags of snacks do you get?
Hurdle: What if we had a Pinatacopter: for every 5 tacos you order, the Pinatacopter drops a pound of candy. To get 6 pounds of candy, how many tacos do you need to order?
High Jump: After the 100th drop, every 25th drop comes with free guacamole! What numbers are the first 8 drops that have free guacamole?
Answers:
Lace up: 4 snacks.
Jog: 8 feet above you.
Sprint: 8 bags, since each Crunchcopter brings you 4 bags.
Hurdle: 30 tacos.
High Jump: The 125th, 150th, 175th, 200th, 225th, 250th, 275th, and 300th drops.
