Uncle Howie challenges

During isolation Uncle Howie decided to send some challenges to Daniel to do. Daniel was keen to do them but did find them a bit tricky to solve without any clues. But he would get there in the end, after saying repeatedly 'this is so hard!'.

**Spoiler alerts for each challenge so don't watch if you don't want to know the solutions**

The first challenge was to move the cups so they were full, empty, full, empty, full, empty by only moving 1 cup. (they start as full, full, full, empty, empty, empty.
This one took many goes for Daniel. He couldn't move from the idea that you don't just have to slide the cups. 

The next challenge was to make a 6 out of IX. Again, this took Daniel a few goes (to be honest it took me a day to work it out, kinda with a fresh thought process to it).

Then there was the coins challenge where you had to turn the triangle from pointing up to pointing down by only moving 3 coins. 


Each of the kids were keen to try this one. (Eliza did have the help of seeing Daniel solve it. Alexander saw it but didn't get how to solve it but didn't want to miss out)

Then Daniel set Uncle Howie a challenge. 

Here is Uncle Howie's response to Daniel.

He showed Daniel, although Daniel didn't seem to excited by it. He said that it was good but Uncle Howie did forget to make the mini eggs. I personally thought it was awesome that his factory produced eggs the way it did so it got my points.
