Assembly of a table from center to edges

Table for Buratino

This assignment is for grandchildren older than 4 years. Grandson will be able to complete this task only, if, starting with 3 years, with him every day played a in learning games or a real or virtual granddad.

In the game episode with fairy-tale heroes: Buratino, waiting for breakfast on the lawn near the house of Malvina, climbs onto the table trying to reach the apple on the apple tree. The table does not stand up to jumping of Buratino for an apple and breaks, turning into a pile of blocks LEGO.

The grandson must be in time to collect the table, till Malvina and the poodle Artemon did not leave the house with breakfast for Buratino. At the entrance to the house hang a large clock, that shows the time left before they exit. In addition, Malvina always screams from the house, commenting on the process of preparing breakfast, something like: "amiable Buratino, wait a little, almost everything is ready, a minute later the kettle will boil, and we with Artemon will bring your breakfast".

In the foreground stands an easel on which Pierrot in the style of cubism draws the house of Malvina. He has already managed to draw the table. In his picture it is made of blocks LEGO. Therefore, the grandson sees what desk he needs to collect.

The purpose of the job to teach grandson not just to collect the table, but to come up with the most optimal way of assembling it. For each of the three options for the design of the table there is one the best way to assemble it, and only in this case the grandson will be in time to collect the table, before Malvina and poodle of Artemon out of the house with breakfast for Buratino.

The optimal ways of assembling the desk are shown in the animation.

The easiest option is to assembly table on one thick leg, the most difficult option is to assembly table with four legs made of horizontally arranged blocks of LEGO.

The main feature of this task is the obligatory failures of the grandson in the first few attempts to assemble the desk at the predetermined time.

Each repeated attempt to assemble the desk begins with a clue, that Buratino or Pierrot give a grandson. Choosing a prompt (more than 50 option), the game takes into account the actions of the grandson in the previous attempt to assemble the desk. After the fifth attempt, a prompts become more frank.

The learning effect can be considered achieved, if the grandson assembled the third, most difficult table, behind five or fewer attempts.
