Percy Jackson, extraordinary kid from New York, was practicing with his bow and arrow at camp. After
coming from the lake, he spotted super teacher extraordinaire Mr. Brunner walking through the forest
preparing to leave for the day. Percy, who previously lost to Mr. Brunner, knew this was a great time to
challenge Mr. Brunner to 1 on 1 and right her wrong of losing. He screamed, “Mr. Brunner, care to join
me for a contest!” and Mr. Brunner replied, “Percy, I have to go, but I’ll play a quick game”. He then said
“We will see who can strike the most arrows in the center and whomever reaches 24 arrows first will
win, each arrow will be worth 1 point’. Mr. Brunner said “To make things interesting, I will allow you to
start at 2 points.” Mr. Brunner shot 4 points every minute, while Percy shot 3 points every minute.
