A Mole Treasure Hunt (Academic #1 - Rm 73)
Hidden inside this room is a treasure that will belong to whomever can solve the clues below. Your goal is to try to find this valuable treasure. One mistake, one miscalculation will result in your being lost forever in a world of misunderstanding.
In order to find this prize, you must first solve the following mole-related problems. Before you begin your search, you must show all work and calculate the answers. The number values of your answers indicate how many paces to take in each leg of the treasure hunt. A “short pace” is a heel-to-toe step. A “long pace” is a normal walking stride. Start your journey at the front door. Happy Hunting!
