The top of our boat (T.T.S.D)                        Our boat holding approximately 25 pennies

Conclusion: Our boat held a whopping number of 43 pennies.

Our original thinking and reasoning behind was by putting the marshmallows on the bottom of the boat so it can float and folded the sides of the aluminum foil to create better buoyancy.

If we were to re-design our boat and complete the challenge again, we would put the marshmallows more to the side of the boat so it could float better and carry more weight.
