Creative Problem Solving, Tuesday, period 3
[Class #8: The Prairie Dog Maze Job!]
“Welcome back! I hope you guys had as much fun as we did on break.” Parker was looking manically pleased with herself about that job. “And I hope you didn't get arrested in Mexico.”
"Though if you did, you clearly got back out," Eliot said with a shrug. "So see it as a learnin' experience."
Parker had to nod in agreement on that point, then went on, gesturing to this week’s Danger Shop set-up: what looked like a high-tech cubicle farm, with people working on computers and phones, ignoring the newcomers, except to pop a head over a divider every once in a while. Floor-to-ceiling windows comprised two walls, and there were clearly marked exits.
“Your job is to get out of this building. It’s 55 stories, and the elevators may not work for you. You aren't suppose to be here. Also, there are security guys roaming around, and they've been told to hang onto anyone who isn't cleared. Those exits? Go to other rooms like this one. So you better be able to remember where you've been before.”
"Basically," Eliot said, looking juuuuust a little too pleased with himself. "It's a giant maze. That really wants to put you in jail."
“So! Pair up, or triple up, or go it on your own, and try to get out.” Parker beamed at them all. “Do it with computers, do it with smarts, do it with punching people. There’s popcorn of all kinds once you get out, so you can watch other people try.”

"There are lots of great resources online," she assured him, since she, like everyone reasonable in this day and age, believed in the power of the internet. "Probably in the library, too?"

Which totally meant he'd try to make Hardison do it for him. At least he'd tell him what to say? Just, you know, all fancied up in geek-speak.

"I really don't know how to thank you enough for everything," Kathy said.. Two letters down and one to go. Score! "I'm so glad you and Ms. Parker decided to teach this class."
