View Blocker Synthesis Challenge
🚗Apply everything you've learned about static, dynamic, and environmental view blockers in realistic Enumclaw scenarios
🏔️ Scenario: Morning Carpool to Crystal Mountain
Time: 6:30 AM (Pre-dawn in winter - sunrise at 7:28 AM)
Location: Roosevelt Ave & Griffin Ave (Highway 410 & SR 164 intersection)
Context: You're on Highway 410 heading east toward Crystal Mountain - this is THE route skiers take
Temperature: 34°F (near freezing)
Conditions: Valley fog from White River (visibility 300 feet), pre-dawn darkness, frost forming on roadways
Route Ahead: 32 miles on Highway 410 to Crystal Mountain - no gas stations or cell service
Your Role: Designated driver for school ski trip carpool
RUBIX:
"Winter MASTER challenge! It's 34°F with valley fog, pre-dawn darkness, and frost forming everywhere. You'll face all three view blocker types at once: ice-covered static objects, winter-condition vehicles, AND environmental blockers like fog and black ice. Use the full SPOT™ method - this is exactly what you'll encounter heading to Crystal Mountain!"
Static Blockers
Buildings, parked vehicles, guardrails blocking your view
Dynamic Blockers
School buses, logging trucks, cyclists creating moving blind spots
Environmental Blockers
Morning fog, sunrise glare, White River mist reducing visibility
