The game "Twister" is played using two spinners and a mat with coloured spots - Leaving Cert Mathematics - Question 1 - 2021

To find the number of different possible outcomes in the game of Twister, we need to consider the combinations of the hand/foot with the coloured spots.

1. Identify the elements of the spinners:

   • Spinner for Hands/Feet: There are 4 choices:

     • Left Hand (LH)
     • Right Hand (RH)
     • Left Foot (LF)
     • Right Foot (RF)

   • Spinner for Colours: There are 4 choices:

     • Yellow (Y)
     • Red (R)
     • Blue (B)
     • Green (G)

2. Calculate the total outcomes: Since both choices (hand/foot and colour) are independent of each other, we can multiply the number of choices together:

   $ext{Total Outcomes} = ext{Number of hand/foot choices} imes ext{Number of colour choices}$ $ext{Total Outcomes} = 4 imes 4 = 16$

Therefore, there are 16 different possible outcomes in the game.
