The Lava River


We had some real fun because of the activity we got to do today. We were divided in to 4 groups 5 in each, and we were given round shaped card boards. The activity we were supposed to do was to cross the classroom from one end to the other using the limited card boards we had got, with all the group members while ensuring that non of us our feet touched the tile instead of  the card board.

The task was really challenging because we had to work smart and hard making sure we were fulfilling the conditions. We tried our best to succeed, but unfortunately, our team couldn't cross the classroom successfully.

Even this was  a small challenge, we learned lots of things through this challenge. We were able to build our team spirit, the team courage and team work. This activity immensely helped in building up our patience too...

  The Paper Tower & The Helium Stick  We got an awesome challenge on 13th of June 2018, by Mrs. Sarasi Senadheera, our lecturer for the subject GNCT. The task was to make a stable paper tower with a maximum height. The challenge was, we had to complete the task with a minimum number of resources and within a limited time. Before beginning the challenge we were divided in to 3 groups in which my group consisted of 12 members, including 2 girls and 10 boys. We were given 2 white papers, 4 color papers and a sellotape to commence the work. At first no one had a single clue what to do.

All the members in the group were supporting the course and it wasn't very hard to complete the task within the given time. The girls were decorating the tower while others were cutting, rolling and pasting the papers....

The dining philosophers problem                                                    There are some Philosophers whose work is just thinking and eating. Let there are 5 (for example) philosophers. They sat at a round table for dinner. To complete dinner each must need two Forks (spoons). But there are only 5 Forks available (Forks always equal to no. of Philosophers) on table. They take in such a manner that, first take left Fork and next right Fork. But problem is they try to take at same time. Since they are trying at same time, Fork 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 taken by Philosopher 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively (since they are left side of each). And each one tries to ta ke right side Fork. But no one found available Fork. And also that each one thinks that someone will release the Fork and then I can eat. This continuous waiting leads to Dead Lock situation So...
