Construct a coastline using a rubber band. You will need
2. Locate the midpoint of the rubber band. You are going to move
this midpoint right or left a random amount and hold it there
with a third thumb tack. Here is how:
3. Roll the die.
4. Now look at the two segments that make up your coastline. Repeat
the above process on each of the segments, pushing the midpoint
to one side or the other perpendicular to the direction of the
segment. Pin each relocated midpoint to obtain a four-segment
coastline.
5. Repeat one more time on the four segments to get an eight-segment
coastline. Trace the final coastline on the white paper backing
and leave it on the bulletin board.
