Finish solving the “Bats Flying Backwards” problem.

Your write-up of the solution is due when I see you next week.

It must include:

• A table up to 20 rows
• Rules (2 or 3) that work for generating the numbers in each row
• Explainations of each rule
• Diagrams explaining each of the methods used
• An explanation of why you can’t use the same method or rule each time.

Additionally, your write-up must be neat, have a complete heading, and be checked for grammar and spelling.  All diagrams must be done with a ruler (or on the computer).  All writing must be typed.
