The Team Outlook
In trying to determine exactly what the contents of the box are, we believe that we have used the most efficient methods. Due to this we have a lot of confidence, not necessarily in what the box contains, but in the methods that we have used. As a team, there were rarely disagreements in procedure and this made for easy progress. However, one recent argument took place because our team members did not agree on how to go about approaching the contents. As mentioned before, we believe that there is a box within the observable box. The complexities that this created dealt with the obstructions (or lack there of). These complexities were not agreed on at first and it made it difficult to continue on without resolving this issue.
Developing Evidence
Even though we have confidence in our methods, we were still able to think "outside of the box" every so often. This entails that we were able to criticize our old methods and establish new, more efficient ones, thus building on our level of team confidence and procedure. We developed a few new techniques for measuring the weight distribution and how the objects contained interact with each other. We believe that these techniques were helpful in not only deciding what the larger-content items were, but actually coming up with an idea of exactly what all of the obscure smaller items are.
So, what's in the box?
We believe that there is a box within the contents of the observable box. This box is the same width and depth as the outside box, but only about two thirds as tall. On top of the internal box, we believe there is a book wrapped in an envelope, or paper of some kind (due to the weight shift, and consistency of placement when the box is overturned). We believe that there is a key or small, flat metallic object on the outside of the internal box. Further, we think that the internal box contains a plethora of small objects: pebbles and small rocks, loose change, metallic objects (perhaps jax), and the ball from the game of jax (due to the sound of a small rolling ball). The sound of the items shifting in the internal box is a bit unusual, however. Because of this, we believe that there is some sort of padding or soft, coiled object that interferes with objects that are moving around.
The end.
