Science Roadshow

We added all those together and got one hundred and thirty five.Then we tried ten which was to, high, five was two low, and then we tried eight. The numbers were eight, fourteen, twenty, twenty six, and thirty two. We added all those up and got one hundred! We were really excited at our lucky guess. We were then chosen to...
