"CAPTURED BY A DRAGON!" activity

Oh no! You have been captured by this dragon! Your only chance to escape is to choose the correct option below. The right option gives you the best chance of escaping before it’s too late.

Good Luck!

Examine each scenario and show which option gives you the best chance.

Through Door #1:

There is a golden coin with a picture of a tree on one side and fire on the other side. If you flip the coin 5 times and get the tree all 5 times, you’ve escaped!

Through Door #2:

There is a large spinning dial with 3 equal options. The 3 equal options are the colours black, green and red. If you spin the dial 3 times and it lands on red all three times, you’ve escaped!

Through Door #3:

There are 2 ‘dotted cubes’ with the numbers one to six. If you roll the cubes and get double-threes, you’ve escaped!

Your answer must be well communicated to prove your answer!
