The Skipping Superstars
In 2013, a talented group of pups from the "Super Wan Wan Circus" in Japan set a world record that is truly "officially amazing." They managed to get 14 dogs to jump over the same skipping rope at the exact same time! It took a lot of practice and perfect rhythm for all those paws to clear the rope without a single trip.

Wee Ones
The jump rope is held by two people. When the rope is ABOVE the dogs, they are standing on the ground. When the dogs jump, the rope must be BELOW them. If a dog is in the middle of a jump, is the rope above or below its feet?
Little Kids
A souvenir sticker of the skipping dogs costs 1 toonie and 1 loonie. How many dollars does the sticker cost in total? (Hint: A toonie is 2 dollars and a loonie is 1 dollar).
Big Kids
The "Super Wan Wan Circus" show starts at 6:30 PM. The dog-skipping act is the grand finale and starts 45 minutes after the show begins. What time does the dog act start?
The Sky's the Limit
To jump safely, each dog needs about 80 centimetres of space along the rope. If 14 dogs are jumping together in a straight line, what is the minimum length of the rope they need in metres?
