I used to be afraid of dark caves, you know.
Not anymore.
AHHHHHHHH!
I think something just woke up!
And they don't look happy.
We've got to get them to move or we'll never reach the Grotto of Sunken Skulls!
Lights, please.
The Grotto of Sunken Skulls is guarded by Troglobytes.
Does it tell you how to get them to move?
Unfortunately... no.
Maybe if we just ask them nicely.
Come on, Inez... they're Troglobytes!
It's a worth a try.
Excuse me, but could you please move so we can get by?
The Grotto of Sunken Skulls!
What do you know - politeness worked!
Uh-oh!
I think we just got trapped.
Purple Team.
You have arrived at the Grotto of Sunken Skulls.
Find the Sedimentary Sentry.
The Sedimentary Sentry?
[LOUD BURP] Sorry, I have a slight bit of indigestion.
Who said that?
I did.
Hello, how are you.
I am the Sedimentary Sentry.
You're alive?!
If you call this living.
Hey, you're a wonderful audience!
How are you darling?
Hmmm, a talking rock.
Do you know the Jam Master of Jimaya?
Yeah, he's my cousin.
You know 'im?
No offense, Mr. Sentry, but we need to get outta here so we can save Solaria.
Where's the exit?
No exit darling, only entry.
Unless you can solve the puzzle.
That's what we're here for.
Tell us!
I am thinking... of a number.
What is it?
THAT'S our puzzle?
Guess a number?
It could be anything!
No fair!
Okay, fine!
The number is less than ten.
The number is less than ten!
And it's a multiple of three.
A multiple of three!
Subtract four from it, and it's divisible by five.
Subtract four - divide by five!
What's the number?
Ya get two guesses!
It's fine... We need to work through this together - experiment to find the correct answer.
I like your style, little lady.
Okay.
We know the number is less than ten - and it's a multiple of three.
Which numbers are multiples of three?
Those are the only ones we need to try.
Well... three times one is three.
Three times two is six.
Three times three is nine.
Three times four is twelve - oops!
Too big!
So the number is either three, six or nine!
Is it six?
Oh, baby, you ROCK!
Rock... am I the only one who's getting these?
Everybody's a critic!
However, six is the wrong answer.
One guess down, one to go!
Oh, no!
The next guess is our last guess.
We have to get it right!
OK, guys, what do we know?
The number is less than ten and it's a multiple of three.
What was the third clue, Jules?
Subtract four from the number and it's divisible by five.
Well, it can't be three... because subtracting four gives us negative one.
And it can't be six - we just guessed that.
So the right answer has to be nine!
Let's test it.
Okay... nine minus four... is five.
And five divided by five is one!
Nine meets all three requirements - and it's the only number that does!
The number is nine!
Bingo!
Good work!
[LOUD BURP] Sorry 'bout that.
Congratulations!
You have solved the puzzle.
Follow the path to Reconfiguratron.
Right this way, ladies and germs.
The Reconfiguratron is just a stone's throw away!
Stone's throw... Who writes this stuff?
Buzz!
Delete!
I told you to make the puzzles HARD!
But, Boss... you made up the puzzles!
I did?
Yeah, even we couldn't figure 'em out.
You two duncebuckets couldn't figure your way out of a wet paper bag!
As you've seen, two of the three teams have solved their puzzles in The Hacker's Challenge.
However, let me remind you, all three teams must solve their puzzle - or game over!
The question is, will the Green Team solve their puzzle before time runs out?
Or will The Hacker triumph and reformat Solaria into a giant ball of nothin'?
NOOOOO!
Dudes!
Only time will tell.
Uh oh!
This is gonna get bumpy!
I'm not afraid!
I am!
Whooooaaa!
YOIKES!
Whoo!
Whoa!
