Aluminum Boats

Last week, Makerspace club designed and built boats out of aluminum foil. They were challenged to see how many paper clips their boat could hold, before it sank. The first boat to go down held 60 small paper clips. The next to go down held 236 paper clips! We ran out of time for the other 3 boats, but we stopped at 350 paper clips. How many more paper clips do you think they could have held?
