- Look at the combination when the wheels stop and guess FLOOD or NO FLOOD and click on that button.
- The result wheel will spin to show the actual outcome.
- Were you right? Click on the why? button for an explanation.
From here you might like to see why flood prediction is important in real life or maybe meet one of the scientists involved in creating these predictions or see what happens when art and science combine!
