2. You wake up in a dusty Holliday Inn room. You don’t seem to recall how you got there or why. You decide to look around to try and remember. You see a pocket watch shining in the corner and pick it up.It looks vaguely familiar.

3. The clock doesn’t work, as ifit is broken or turned off. You press a small button on the side and the watch opens up showing a small combination lock. Above the lock is a math problem.You decide to try and figure it out. • The problem is ((9+83)-7)/5 • What answer do you put in? A. 97B. 17 C. 4D. 14

4. You figure it out and the watch snaps closed and the hands start to spin, slowly at first, but they quickly speed up until a light emanatesfrom the clock face. You watch in shock as the light turns into a hologram. In an electronic voice someone says “Please answer to unlock interface screen.” • The question is Which of the following equations would you use when figuring out a circle’s radius? • What answer do you say? A. (X-H)2+(Y-K) 2=R2B. (X-H)+(Y-K)=R C. (X+H)2 - (Y+K)2 = R2D. (X+H) - (Y+K) = R

5. After getting the answer correct the watch emits a light and you see a building with a sign on it. The sign flashes on and off. You have trouble reading the words, but under it you see the address, 2750 Chapel Hill Rd. You let out a sigh and decide to try and find the place. You turn to open the door, but frown to see it’s locked. Then, upon hearing your stomach growl,you decide to get something to eat before you open the lock.You frown seeing a lock on the fridge as well. Which do you open first? A.

Curiously, you walk over, wondering if they’re real. You slowly reach out a hand and touch it. The bomb, at your touch, starts beeping and a little light flashes red.

24. The door opens and you start making your way to the hospital.On the way you think over your lost memories when a vision hits you.You’re standing in a dark room with a few other people.

The other people yell “Please! Stop! You’ll kill us all!” the strange shadow person let out a silent laugh and pressed the button. You let out a yell to stop the person, but then open your eyes as the vision ends.

25. You finish your walk to the hospital with your mind racing.You had come to the realization that you had been there when some mad man went to kill everyone. You walk in.Strangely, their are no locks on the doors. You hear your watch say “Room 347.” You quickly make your way there only to find that you’re in a mental ward. • Do you continue anyway? • Yes • No.

26. As you walk in the room, you see your name on the clip board on the bed. The room is completely white.

Please solve to continue.” • The question is as follows What is a solution? What answer do you choose? A. An answerB. An equation C. A question D. Star wars

27. After solving the question the watch tells you to head to the jeopardy stage… So you do, baffled as to why you’re going there.
