Have you ever seen a hamster run inside a hamster wheel? Well, the guys at LiveNation let their pets try running on a spinning turntable instead. A turntable, or record player, is a flat circle that spins, while a needle drags though the grooves on the record (that black plastic disk you see) to play music. Our fuzzy friends run fast enough to keep up *most* of the time, but no matter what happens, at least they’re working out to great music!
Lace up: Sergio, Chunk, Harry, Lloyd and Herzog all get to spin on the turntable. How many furry animals is that?
Jog: If Harry hangs on for 8 seconds before sliding off, while Lloyd hangs on for 6 seconds, who lasted longer?
Sprint: The hamsters hang on for 35, 54, 47, and 19 seconds. Can you put those numbers in order from least to greatest?
Hurdle: How many legs do those 5 brave rodents have?
High Jump: If you put a bunch of rodents on the turntable and they have 21 more legs than tails, how many spinning rodents do you have?
Answers:
Lace up: 5 furry animals.
Jog: Harry stayed on longer.
Sprint: From least to greatest: 19, 35, 47, 54.
Hurdle: 20 legs.
High Jump: 7 rodents, since every rodent has 3 more legs than tail.
