On Day 2 the challenge began with making a circuit using 5 LEDs.
Participants quickly learned that multiple colors of LEDs compete for power. Red LEDs dominate all other colors, but occasionally other colors can work together. To be on the safe side, they began making multiple circuits to separate the colors.
