Clue 5
Fractions of a number — the last clue
Our sensors scanned the player database. We took a precise fraction of the active profiles to isolate the glitch coordinates.
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!
Step 1 — solve these
1/5 of 55 = ?
5/10 of 6 = ?
2/3 of 15 = ?
1/10 of 10 = ?
1/8 of 40 = ?
7/8 of 8 = ?
1/4 of 16 = ?
2/4 of 4 = ?
3/5 of 15 = ?
4/5 of 15 = ?
2/3 of 9 = ?
Step 2 — cross out the sentence with each answer
1.The villain summons a void portal, then brandishes an onyx trophy.
2.The villain swings a digital sword, then wears a gold crown.
3.The villain builds a defensive wall, then wears a gold crown.
4.The villain builds a defensive wall, then brandishes an onyx trophy.
5.The villain builds a defensive wall, then flashes a ruby rank.
6.The villain charges up a star blaster, then brandishes an onyx trophy.
7.The villain rides a pixel yeti, then flashes a ruby rank.
8.The villain charges up a star blaster, then flashes a ruby rank.
9.The villain summons a void portal, then holds a diamond shield.
10.The villain swings a digital sword, then flashes a ruby rank.
11.The villain builds a defensive wall, then holds a diamond shield.
