So far, results have suggested two main types of solutions: (a) those involving numbers (such as the group this type of which decides systematically to take only fish per person per 15-second interval); "one” solution is quite effective in preserving the pool) and (b) nonnumerical solutions (group decides that each person must run to the end of the room and back before fishing). Restart the fishing game from steps 2 5 (Year 1b). – If some groups still have fish remaining in the lake continue to run another annual fishing season (Year 2b). Repeat steps 2 5. Again, if any student is unable to cover their annual expenses they are unable to fish – the next year. Continue until all fish are exhausted or the predetermined amount of time is met.
