Creative Problem Solving, Tuesday, period 3
Today’s class had Parker grinning like she’d won the lottery, or better, stolen the lottery winner’s winnings.
“LASERS.” Her preeecious. She pointed to the two set-ups in the room: one a simple set of laser lines very close together (less than an inch apart or above the tiles that went across the floor), leading to a door; the other, a corner with moving lines going across all three dimensions, moving in a random pattern that made perfect sense if you were Parker. “Today we’re having you figure out either of these two set-ups, whatever’s easier for you, really, although I’ll tell you right now there’s better food behind the moving laser set-up.” She straightened. “Now, I don’t expect you to get this on your first try, or without some instruction, so pay careful attention, okay?”
Parker then proceeded to do this:At least the bits without Hardison and Eliot
“Okay! Also, there are at least two, three other ways around this. That don’t involve going through the field.” Although why you’d do that when you could twist and turn your way through a laser field, Parker would never understand.
"You're welcome," Eliot said. Yeah, that was about all he'd managed to contribute to this class other than the food.
“These lasers are visible right now, so you know, remember: in real life you might have to spray them with aerosol to see them.” Parker clapped her hands. “OKAY LET’S GO!”

Attempt the Lasers!
2: Moving room of lasers!
There are moddable tool boxes near the entrance to each set-up, as well as a control box to attempt to jury-rig, re-program, or hit it with a hammer.
“Now you have to go back for the spoon!”
“NO YOU DON’T.”
Re: Attempt the Lasers!
But what she should do was vastly different than what she wanted to do. And what she wanted to do was not at all something that could be covered in a textbook. After a few minutes of internal debate (peppered with longing looks towards the moving room of lasers), Kathy left the roll of tinfoil out near the floor lasers and skipped over to where she really wanted to be.
She managed to eel her way through most of the sim all right, but then her foot crossed a laser and the alarm went off.
Next time, a moving laser hit the same spot on the floor her hand did.
And again. And again. And again.
Dammit! What was she missing!

Not gently.
