| Description: |
A Java implementation of a data gathering activity in Active Stats. Students use a mouse to click as near as possible, and as quickly as possible, the centre of circles that appear at random positions.
The distance from the previous circle, the distance of the mouse from the actual centre and the time between clicks are given in a table that is easily copied into a statistics program or a spreadsheet.
A sample of interesting questions that can be explored are given on the web page. The Java implementation was created by Dr. Michael Bulmer, University of Queensland.

Here is a secret message, written using a Substitution Code. In a substitution code, each letter of the alphabet is replaced by another letter. Your job is to break the code, and find the secret message.
This is a challenging activity, but solvable by a year 8 student with persistence. Also, I think it contains an error, just to make it more challenging :-).
