Background: So I was in my zoology lab, and it being the end of the school year, we had a totally BS lab today. The topic is ecology, and we are simulating a predator trying to eat enough prey to survive. Low-quality prey is represented by beans, and high-quality prey, which counts for 5 low-quality prey, is represented by pennies. We have a minute to see how much prey we can gather one by one, and we need at least 40 points to survive at the end of that minute. Also, at the end of each round, the number of pennies scattered around the board is doubled. It started at 2, and went to 4, then to 8, etc. Yes, the game was quite ridiculous; my TA cringed when he explained that we had to do it.
BDSM: The "predator" is blindfolded. We also applied this game to real life; at a certain point, the number of high-quality prey equals the number of low-quality prey available, and the predator will give up chasing after low-quality prey in favor of the abundant high-quality prey. This time, when he changes his focus, is called the "switching point."
Flaws: 1.) When the blindfold was put on me, I went into "prey" mode, and therefore didn't survive very well. 2.) Switching normally involves changing from predator to prey, not low-quality prey to high-quality prey. I really should have corrected my TA for his mistakes, but that isn't my place as a sub. o)
Petrel, I hope this cheered you up.
