Mariele the dog eats dinner

This video is about Mariele the 12 year old dog  sitting at a fancy table in what looks like a fancy restaurant -- but a person is hiding under her shirt. He waves his hands around as if they're the dog's hands.  The dog "reads" the menu, waits for dinner to be served.What's amazing is how nicely Mariele, who is a German shorthair pointer, sits and waits to be served; she's probably better behaved than most children.  How much dog and human must have practiced, you see that the amount of food they ate really adds up. Have a go at answering these questions: Koru Whanau: Yr 1: If the person's 2 hands and Mariele's 4 paws could each hold a fork, how many forks could they hold altogether?  Yr 2: If Mariele takes 5 bites of carrot and 2 bites of potato, and there are 10 bites of food on the plate, how many bites did Mariele leave behind? Kowhai whanau:  The dog performs for about 3 minutes. If they practice the scene 8 times back to back , how long does that take?  Kauri Whanau: Mariele has to pay for dinner every time. If dinner cost $4.50, how much does she pay for those 8 meals?  Extra for experts: The actor can't see a thing while stabbing at the food. In feeding the dog 5 bites of carrot and 2 bites of potato, in how many different orders could Mariele have eaten those? (Hint if needed: Think about what number bites the potatoes could be.)
