Shop Class Final Exam: 12/20

Upon entering the Danger Shop, Mac hands each student a warm down coat for them to wear.

"Welcome to the final shop class of the semester. This is your exam. Today you will be locked in a walk-in freezer. The lock itself is broken and cannot be picked by any means. It is your job to figure out how to get out of the freezer using whatever is available in the freezer (plus your standard SAK and Duct Tape) to get out."

"Death? You cannot dematerialize and walk through the door. You must find a way to open it on your own."

Final exam:
The door is locked from the outside. There is a latch on the inside but because the lock is broken cannot be picked. The hinges to the door are on the outside of the Freezer as well. The freezer itself has one light bulb, several shelving units made of metal and various items of food. Good luck!

Anders's first attempt at getting out involves rigging up a bizarre turkey-flinging apparatus from shelves and duct tape, but this really doesn't accomplish much more than to give him a few very bad minutes of tinnitis from the echoes of the impact inside the freezer.

Frowning, he wonders if he can unscrew the light bulb and hold it over his head, and therefore miraculously come up with some brilliant plan to get out.

He actually seriously considers this for a moment before deciding that it's really not worth the effort, and besides, he'd be in the dark. ~~(Well, literally in the dark, as opposed to figuratively, which he usually is to some degree anyway.)~~

Instead, he rearranges several of the shelving units, takes a couple of the shelves down and rigs them to swing with duct tape loops, then duct tapes a few turkeys to them as securely as he can. (He adds a couple of strings of frozen sausage too, just for decoration.) Getting behind the arrangement of shelves, he starts swinging the turkey-weighted shelves as hard as he can at the lock until it breaks.

. . . of course, once he steps out of the freezer he can't hear a damn thing, thanks to all that noise.

"Good job Anders! You've come a long way since the beginning of the semester."

Anders grins and shivers a little bit. "Thanks, sir. This class has been awesome. Easier than book stuff for me since I actually get to work problems out in person instead of reading about them." He nods. "I'm all about the hands-on stuff."

"~~I knew you were afraid of books.~~ Good job, champ! And you definitely excel at the hands-on stuff, that's for sure." Cally didn't wink. Honest.

Anders might blush here, but the ringing in his ears seems to have temporarily eliminated his innuendo radar. "Not as good as you, coach. You were all efficient and sophisticated and stuff. My solutions always seem to involve, like, banging things until they do what I want them to."

He pauses. "Or, y'know, sometimes not."

~~After all the "hands-on" and "banging" comments, Mac wonders if he should push Cally and Anders back in the freezer to cool off.~~

~~If Mac were to do that, Anders would think that the freezer would no longer be freezing things. Things might melt. Which would be messy. And not in a good way.~~

~~Grabs the brain bleach after visualizing the melting action that could occur with Cally, Anders and a bunch of frozen Turkeys~~

"Speaking of hands-on. Happy holidays Anders," Mac says as he hands over his gift (http://www.victorinox.com/newsite/images/produkte/0-3802.jpg).

Anders grins. "Whoa. Frakkin' cool. It's all red and shiny and stuff! Thanks, dude -- I mean, sir!"

He luckily thought ahead enough to bring some cookies and cupcakes with him today, and offers some to Mac.

Mac happily munches away on the cookies.
