This is due on Friday and counts as a double homework assignment!  Here is the Excel spreadsheet shell you can use.  Here are the 2008 prices.  If you get done, try this logic problem.  Here are the rules:  2 people on the raft at a time.  An adult needs to man the raft.  The crook cannot be left with any people unless the police officer is there.  The dad cannot be left with the girls unless the mom is there.  The mom cannot be left with the boys unless the dad is there.

Here is the rubric I will be using to grade the assignment:
