Addition
We found the scrap pile where the rogue pilot welded their aircraft. To estimate the ship's weight, we must add the counts of all the titanium beams and steel blocks left behind.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Fractions of a number
The flight radar log shows only a fraction of the flight path before the signal jammed. We have to calculate that exact fraction of the total grid distance to unlock the next coordinates.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Order of operations
The autopilot flight computer was locked with a custom startup sequence. We must solve the operations in the exact standard order to bypass the security lock.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Multiplication facts (1-12)
The hangar floor has a grid of thruster parts organized in equal rows. By multiplying the rows of engines, we can calculate how much thrust power the suspect packed.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Division facts (1-12) — the last clue
We discovered a cargo container filled with spare block parts. If we divide these blocks equally among the suspect's landing gears, we can figure out the balanced weight distribution.
First solve each problem. Then find each answer in the list below and cross that sentence out. One sentence will be left — that's exactly what the villain did!
