Challenge - Gambler
There will be two parts to this challenge.
Part 1: You have $1000 in U.S. dollars. You have to split this money however you want across all of your team members. Example:
Kosovo: $500
Kazakhstan: $250
Germany: $250
Nigeria: $0
Part 2: This is the fun part. Without seeing how other teams distributed their money, you have to choose three countries that aren't on your team to steal their money. These countries can span across any team.
(ex. if you're team 1 then you can steal some from 2, 3, and 4)
If you have any questions, please ask!
Please do this challenge before TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH BY 6:00 PM!
