Bamboree - Unit 5
October 14-16, 2022
Timeline! - A triple Timeline chain
The events in this chain, when collected and sequenced correctly, occurred an equal number of years apart. There are three events per year and all events can be found in the events well, below.
Ah, but there is a twist! You must identify the missing link. That's right, one of the years in the chain is skipped and none of the listed events happened in that year. The missing link is not at the first or last link of the chain.
Points awarded as follows:
One point for correctly identifying each year in the chain (11 total)
One point for each event matched to the correct year (33 total)
Five points for identifying the missing link year
Note 1: The three events within each year can be placed in any order
