Key questions

What assumptions would you be making?

What do you know/could you find out about the outlying properties?



Solutions


For Task 2 Hasbro, the games producers, say that the most landed on properties are Bow Street, Vine Street and Marlborough Street (the orange ones).


Monopoly Mayhem

The game of monopoly was created in 1935 and since then 200 million games have been bought and it is estimated that there is 300 billion pounds of Monopoly money in UK homes. As you play the game you move around the board with the option to purchase the property that you land on. As a property tycoon you are trying to bankrupt your fellow players and take home the cash!
