"Minute to Win It" (#11)
In celebration of the LES basketball tournament on the LL campus in February 2017,
We asked K-8 students to guess . . .How many total donuts can 8 high school students eat in one minute?
The answer? 42!
(Think it's low? We did too! In their defense, the donuts were day-old and so were a bit chewy!)
Winners:
Joey Dretske, Eastside (5th grade)
Ryan Surges, St. Matthew, Oconomowoc (7th Grade)
Markenna Bittorf, TSL (3rd grade)

Hottest Contest Yet (#8)
The goal was to guess of the total degrees during the month of August 2015 in Lake Mills. Only the high temperature counted for each day, August 1–31. Mr. Lauber kept track, and by the end of the month, he had a grand total of 2,482 degrees (F). Out of dozens of entries, no one guessed exactly, but we had several close.
Winner with a guess of 2,480 degrees: Faith Retzlaff, grade 6 • Zion, Columbus
