Place value
We cracked the hijacked terminal's security lock by identifying the value of the digit in the thousands place on the server screen. This bypass revealed a secure file detailing the villain's tactical gear.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Addition
To unlock the supply bunker, we added up the total weight of the armored plates delivered to the front defense line. Inside the secure chest, we found a physical clue showing how the villain's gear is holstered.
Solve each problem to learn its letter. Then write that letter in every box that shows the same number, and read the secret clue.
Subtraction
By subtracting the fuel leaked during the getaway from the vehicle's maximum tank capacity, we calculated the escape route. Along the trail, we found a discarded report exposing the villain's system vulnerability.
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 command center radar could only display a small fraction of the sector grid. Finding that exact fraction of active signal towers allowed us to locate a lost helmet component dropped by the fleeing suspect.
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 last clue
Our scout drone scanned a fraction of the enemy base's radio frequencies. Finding that exact fraction of the total wavelength count gave us the final piece of data identifying the villain's headgear.
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!
