1. Lost
Attention This is your captain speaking. We’ve
had an electrical failure and need to make an
emergency landing.
Please remain calm and in your seat until the
plane comes to a complete halt.
2. Please gather your items and calmly exit through the emergency door
behind the toilet.
The electrical failure has reset the passwords locking the overhead bins
and closet. We apologize for any inconvenience.
3. {4x, 7xxx, 23, y, 20x, 11xy, 7xy, 3x, 2y, 57y, 8, xxx, 11, 2xy, 4xxx}
This is your captain speaking:
To open the overhead bins and closets you will need to use
three like terms from this set of math terms.
Your friend Jackie turns to you: I think we should write
these math terms down so we don’t forget them.
4. Ty tugs on an overhead bin: How do these passwords work?
Ilannaq: Each math term can only be used once. If the first 3 like terms don’t open the doc,
close the doc and retry the terms in a different order. Don’t use spaces between the terms.
x x2 x3
y y2 xy xy xy
Charlie: I don’t get it.
5. Ilannaq: It’s like this. 23, 8, 11 are all like terms,
constants without variables.
I’m guessing they open the closet. And the terms with
variables match the x, y or xy on our seat numbers.
If that doesn’t work I’ll try 23118.
So first I’m going to try 11823.
Ok, says Charlie, Now I get it.
6. Ty: Did we find
everything?
Jackie: Well, there are 5 of
us, so we should have 5
things, including Rolo’s
raincoat.
Charlie: We don’t
have everything. We
need to keep looking.
Ty: I count 5. Let’s get
off this plane.
10. You need to go back to the plane and search
for anti sting cream.
11. Hey! A tower. Maybe we can find help there. It looks
like a long walk.
Ty: Let’s go through the luggage the captain dumped
on the beach to get more supplies before we go.
Jackie: Agreed.
12. Click on the equivalent expression to unlock the luggage.
