Prize Winner, Part 1

A community fair is happening in the town of Alexandria. The community board of directors has asked Khalid, Justyce, Andrew, Marissa and Allyson to create games for the children who come to the fair.

The first game they create is a Duck Pond game. The girls fill a small baby pool with water while the boys paint numbers 1 – 30 on the bottom of thirty rubber ducks. (They paint only one number per duck, and no numbers repeat.)

The object of the game is simple: Pick up a duck, win a prize! Together, they decide that the gamers who select a duck that has an even number painted on the bottom will receive a large prize and gamers who select a duck that has an odd number painted on the bottom will receive a small prize.
