Shop Class: [1/23]
As the students enter the shop class they'll find that the room has been turned into what appears to be a ghost town.
With multiple versions of Mac's beat up jeep.
"Today kids? We're going to be doing the MacGyver version of car repair."
Today's Assignment:
"Each of these jeeps have the exact same problems. Your job is just to fix *one* of those problems on the car. Unless you're an overachiever who feels the need to get extra credit."
"The situation is that you have been on a camping trip to this ghost town and you just found out that your jeep has one of the following problems:"
1. Cut brake line
2. Blown fuse
3. Crack the in the radiator
4. You lost the keys to the jeep
ETA: You can get into the jeep because there's no top to it. You just can't start it.
Mac points out each of the problems and where they are located for the car engine impaired.
"The list of items you have with you?"
A pack of gum
A ball point pen
A cooler full of food for breakfast, including eggs, bacon, OJ and bread.
Swiss Army Knife
Duct Tape (Duct Tape alone will not be accepted as a solution)
"I know some of you may not have any experience in car repair, so if you want to buddy up with a partner."

Re: Assignment: [1/23]
For the blown fuse, he stoops under the dashboard and finds the faulty fuse to be in that fuse box, not the one in the engine compartment. He uses the knife on the Swiss Army Knife to pop out the faulty fuse. Instead of trying to fix the broken one and lacking a new one to replace it with, he locates the fuse that handles the radio. Figuring he could sacrifce some tunes for a while before getting to a real repair shop, he replaces the original fuse with that one.
The gum makes a nice seal on the radiator, he thinks, but to be on the safe side, he adds some duct tape on top for extra support, tearing it with his teeth.
Next, he detaches the starter motor wire from the ignition wire and touches it to a powered wire on the other side of the ignition switch, momentarily completing the starter motor circuit, so that the starter motor turns over the engine.
He reads the last assignment, about the brake line, and grins.
"Ah, well," Duo says with a laugh. "Stopping's overrated."
