Keeping Your Wits About You... [Monday 2nd Period 10-11] Class # 3

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

There had been a handwavey correspondance to the students to let them know to meet in the Danger Room today, though have no fear, this in no way meant there were no treats. Wilson had made Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake bars for the students to get their sweet fix satisfied. There was also coffee, tea and water.

Wilson himself was leaning against a wall with a cup of coffee in his hand. As soon as everybody was in the Danger Room and accounted for, the young doctor grinned and straightened up.



"All right then. Today is our first practical lesson. You are each going to face down an insideous opponant, one by one through that door there. You can not use force, you can not use powers. Johnny, you can try fire on the door, it won't give, it's designed to be impervious to all your powers, magical or otherwise. You must play by the door's rules."

He waited for the students to finish looking at him as if he'd grown a second head and grinned around his coffee cup.

"Yes I said door. You'll understand when you get into the scenario. Now the rules are you have three chances to make it through the door. After that, times up and either you solve the door's challenge or you loose. Loosing won't affect your grade but I hope it will make you think. Winning ... gives you bragging rights over the door. Okay, everyone understand? Then step up and you go in alphabetical order."

Picking up a clipboard, he began to read off the list.

Elric, Alphonse
Evans, Isabel
Halliwell, Chris
Halliwell, Wyatt
Huston, Beauty
Lang, Lana
Levine, Savannah
Roberts, Summer
Sato, Hoshi
Shirley, Anne
Storm, Johnny

[ooc: Rules: You get 3 tags to ask the door questions and work out the riddle. So there should be a total of 6 tags with the door giving the final tag, the first tag by the door does not count it just establishes the riddle.

Of course you don't have to stick to class list order, since time zones and the like. No using of powers to get past the door, the Danger Room is designed specifically to everybodies unique power strengths to withstand those strengths. OCDs are on the way, please wait for them to be put up! Class is in session]

The Test

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

As each student entered the room they would find a normal Fandom High hallway waiting for them. At the end of the hallway stood a door. It looked like a normal dorm room door but once the door to the scenario room was closed, Wilson's voice came over the PA.

"All right, the scenario is this. You have a hot date with a girl or boy who you have been pursuing for the whole semester. You asked them out and they accepted. Now, you have ducked out of your dorm room in a hurry only to find that you left behind your wallet and any money withdrawal devices or their directions or ... something you absolutely have to get back in your room to retrieve before you go out on your date. Now, you need to get back in. Good luck."

As Alphonse approaches the door and tries to enter it, he'll find his way barred. With a low chuckle the door will begin to speak.

"Little pig, little pig, let me in. Not by the hair of my chinney chin chin. Until you answer this riddle!

Two boys and a man need to cross a river. They can only use the canoe. It will hold only the man OR the two boys' weight. How can they all get across safely?"

You are walking down a road and you encounter a fork in the road and you do not know the correct way to go. There are two men standing at the junction and both know the correct road. One man always lies, and the other man always tells the truth, but you do not know who is the liar and who is the one who tells the truth. You can only ask each man one question, but it must be the same question for both. What is the question that would allow you to get the information necessary to choose the correct path?"

Re: The Test - Isabel Evans

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel had to think about it for a few minutes. "I'd ask each man, 'what would your companion say is the correct road?' The road they don't point to would be the correct answer."

"Got it in one," the door sighed. "You may pass."

What is special about the number 854917632?"

Re: The Test - Chris Halliwell

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Oh great, math Chris thought.

"It contains all the numbers one through nine?" Chris guessed.

"You don't expect me to open up if you only give half an answer do you? Be more specific."

Suppose you want to cook an egg for exactly 3 minutes. You have only a 5 minute hourglass timer and a 2 minute hourglass timer. Using these 2 timers, how can you boil the egg for exactly 3 minutes?"

Re: The Test - Wyatt Halliwell

[blessed_twice]

"Easy," Wyatt said. "Turn both hourglasses over. When the two minute one runs out, start boiling the egg, because that means there's three minutes left on the five minute timer."

Re: The Test - Wyatt Halliwell

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Hmph. It wasn't that easy. You may pass."

With the numbers 123456789, make them add up to 100. They must stay in the same order. You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Remember, they have to stay in the same order !!!"

Re: The Test - Beauty Huston

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty thought about the riddle for a moment, and then asked, "Do I have to use all of the numbers, or can I use only some of them?"

[ooc: Oh sure, give me a math question. :-p]

Re: The Test - Beauty Huston

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

The door and unfortunately I don't have cool icon...woe! chortled.

"You'd be best served to use them all! Else why would I have given them to you?"

[ooc: *Grins!* Mine is an evil laugh!]

You have 8 marbles. Out of the 8 marbles there is one marble that weighs slightly heavier than the rest. The rest of the marbles all weigh the same. How would you find the heaviest marble when you can only weigh them two times using a liberty scale?"

Re: The Test - Lana Lang

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'll weigh them in sets of two. Only one set will weigh heavier than the rest, so I'll hold onto those two marbles as a special set.," Lana said.

"I'll know that one of those two is the heavier one. Then I'll weigh one of the special set with three that I know are the same weight. If the side with the marble from the special set weighs heavier, I'll know that marble is the heavier one. Otherwise it will be the other one from the special set."

In the basement there are 3 light switches in the off position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. You may move any of the switches, but you may only go up stairs one time. How can you determine which switch controls each light?"

Re: The Test - Savannah Levine

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah ponders this and looks at the door. Being her, she would turn on all of the switches at once, but she doesn't think that's what Wilson wants her to do.

"Do I have to move the switches one at a time?"

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have five children, half of them are boys.How is this possible?"

Re: The Test - Summer Roberts

[absolutesnark]

Summer had to think about that for a moment. Of course, she was thinking like a Fandom resident at first. Maybe one of them was half demon or angel or witch or...something.

Then she had another thought. "Ooh, I know. They're all boys, right?"

Re: The Test - Hoshi Sato

Doctor says to lawyer We were born on the same year, month, day, and minute. We were born in the same hospital, hospital room and we have the same 2 parents. We are not twins and we have no brothers. Explain this."

Re: The Test - Johnny Storm

Johnny wasn't so hot at riddles. He would never admit to this of course.

With a slight shrug, he said, "She-male."
