Task:

    You and the members of your team are artists who work for the new television network GeoTV.  This morning the executives have just approved a new show to get developed.  The show is set in medieval times and is centered on a handsome knight who is in love with a beautiful princess but there is an ugly old witch who loves the knight so she and her equally ugly henchman and constantly creating different schemes to make the knight love her and not the princess.  Although the executives have approved the show they are unsure if they want it to have live actors or to be a cartoon.  Your team was contacted to create the cartoon version of the characters and present your characters to the executives so they can make a decision on how to approach the show.

    As a group you will research the relationship maths has to beauty and verify it by testing it on pictures of famous people.  Then each member of the group creates one of the four main characters and explains mathematically why the character is considered to be beautiful or ugly.  Then as a group you will create a power point that would be used to present to the executives for them to rule on.  Be sure to use specific numbers and show your work.
