"Your timer starts now."
Pagkasabi n'ya no'n ay nag umpisa nang tumakbo 'yung bilang ng time na nakalagay sa box. Tapos may mga series of numbers na ring nagpakita rito.
As I stares at the intricate puzzle, I feel a bead of sweat forming on my forehead. Sa puzzle na 'to nakasalalay ang lahat. Sa akin nakasalalay ang lahat. May isang attempt lang ako, at kapag namali pa ako, katapusan ko na.
Mabilis ang tibok ng puso kong nakatitig sa mga equations. It consists of a series of interconnected mathematical equations, patterns, and hidden clues. Tapos may nakalagay na find the value of X sa baba.
Dati bang math teacher 'to? O math teacher talaga s'ya sa ibang course. Tsaka kung talagang mahirap nga 'to, bakit simpleng math equations at hindi kung anong mahirap na puzzles? Kung tutuusin mas mahirap pa 'yung mga pinasagot kina Rune na ginamitan ng ciphers. Pero ito kahit senior high student kayang sagutin e. May sira ba utak ni sir Lenard o mahirap na para sa kan'ya 'to?
The first equation reveals a simple pattern,
5 + 3 = 28
9 + 1 = 810
8 + 6 = 214
5 + 4 = ?
The second equation incorporates a multiplication sequence,
2 x 4 = 6
5 x 7 = 9
9 x 2 = 11
4 x 3 = ?
The third equation introduces a series of prime numbers:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, ?
What is the next prime number in the sequence?
The fourth equation presents a Fibonacci sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ?
What is the next number in the Fibonacci sequence?
The final equation combines all the previously solved values:
(Result of Equation 1) - (Result of Equation 2) + (Result of Equation 3) x (Result of Equation 4) = ?
"You okay Gwyn? Is it hard?" Ascen asked.
This goddamn prof gave me 30 minutes to solve.
"I'm okay, it's easy by the way." I answered.
"You sure? Anong mga nakalagay d'yan?" Tanong ni Ascen.
"Some simple mathematical equations. And I need to find the value of X." Sagot ko. "Need atang iadd lahat ng sagot para makuha 'yung value ng X." Dagdag ko pa.
"Edi bobo pala 'yang prof na 'yan e, mahirap daw e pang junior high student nga lang ata 'yan." Sabi ni Rune.
"Wag kang pakampante muna, just take your time and analyze it well." Ascen said.
"I will."
Inumpisahan kong isa isang isolve 'yung mga equations.
9 'yung sagot sa unang equation. 12 naman sa ikalawa. 53 'yung ikatlo, at 55 'yung ika-apat.
Now I can substitute the results into the final equation.
(9 - 12) + (53 x 55) = X
And after performing the necessary calculations, the answer is,
X = (9 - 12) + (53 x 55)
X = -3 + 2915
X = 2912
"X is equal to 2912." Mahinang sabi ko.
"You already got the answer?" Ascen asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Sagot ko. "I followed everything." Dagdag ko.
