There were times when we could not decide which answer was more suitable to be used as our final group answer, so we had to make decisions in a risky and uncertain environment. This dilemma, however, has led to our group using a lot of team work and good communicating skills. I felt that my group used a lot of teamwork and communicated effectively within ourselves.

The outcome was that two other groups clashed with one another because both groups’ final answer was “donut” while our group’s final answer, “donut”, did not
