curious people who are looking for active learning WANTED !!
July 13, 2006 - 01:13 PM

Hello all,

Since long-time I had an idea of how to promote what i dubbed "active learning", i.e. looking for answers on multi-disciplinary questions by not only finding facts in history, arts etc but also making one's braind work by trying to solve puzzles/riddles.

http://mnopq.tigblog.org/post/40489

After having watched National Treasure, this idea of mine was reinforced and i actually used some of its refered material to create a test puzzle whi is aimed at curoius young people who arent afraid to look for answers!

I posted this puzzle on my blog on June 8, but i havent got a single question or comment concerning it, although i have asked for both..

So please take a look at it and solve it! I can always giuve hints etc smile so no worries!
Point is to kind of start off this puzzle chain which will encourage not only to read and remember some facts in diferent disciplines but actually burn some brain-power in using these fact to resolve some puzzles and riddles!

For me as a curious person this was very interesting! I hope it will eb for you too!

Cheers,
H.

hi,

I've just looked at ur pazzle and it sounds very interesting, I need concentration and of course I will find out the solution, u did good work, I'm going to try ur pazzle, it's challenging game. I did understand it, I have question, u did create it by urself?

I don't know why people can't try it and make an effort to find out the solution, may be people are looking for easy things , they don't want to try or use their minds to make it.

thank u for ur pazle and wish me good luck. smile

Dear aminabeliever1 ,

Yes i made it up myself.

Actually its almost 3 weeks i have it up and i havent got any question, nor response nor anything else but a comment from Salma (salma86) .

As you said, either people are not quite up to the challenge of using their brains in a not-too-trivial way to solve a multidisciplinary puzzle or they are working on it very quietly but without much result, at least not that i have seen...

Anyhow, i told this and i will tell it again that this puzzle is very easy.. to most of 6 subquestions answers can be found in 30 minutes on Internet and for one or two one has to look a bit more but I suggested my help in getting those 1-2 subquestions done..

The objective is to get more people working and communicating heir results or asking questions or asking for hints which i will also give! I just want to see people motivated and up to challenge!

Good luck and dont hesitate to ask me questions or for hints smile

H.
