Want to join me? Let's finish our explorations by February 12. If you post yours on a blog, let me know and I will link to it from this post. Don't have a blog? I will be happy to post your exploration below. I am looking forward to seeing what questions you posed, looking at how you reported or displayed the answers, and learning what you learned
