603 Words
So finding the coordinates is the puzzle. On further testing there is another thing embarked on the thing. It is a chemical formula (2H2 +O2 > 2H2O) But most of the men have not even passed out of high school and some are illiterate. The women said it is a formula for water.
So they came to the conclusion that water is the code. As it is an island it is surrounded by water. So where should we search? Time is running out.
So some members went to search in the water. Most Women are also trying to help them. Sharon and some women try to decode the formula.
Time is getting passed by. Then she observes it is indicating 2 water molecules. It means the water must be in 2 forms. She ran out and informed them.
They went in search. Suddenly due to their slight noise while walking and whispering. A robot nearby got activated. It stood up and scanned the area for the people.
Some person in the group saw it and came running forward the group and showing signs that the robot is activated, all of you must be silent and some lie down on the ground and some went behind the trees…
Robot scanning shows negative. After some time it deactivated. They all started to come out and walk away slowly and cautiously.
Then they find a place where the water colour is different and it is surrounded by the normal water. They went to see it. The reason for the change of colour in that spot is it is filled with red corals and the colour is reflecting back in water.
They cracked the first code and searched the entire place. They found a wooden piece. They scanned it. On it a part of Shakespeare poem is written which is "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble" everyone stared at it no one understood.
One of the women said it is a line from Shakespeare and all the members were trying to decode it. It was said that double, fire and water are the clues.
Some of them got an idea that maybe there are two clues in the water. So they searched once again, they found another piece of wood with the same words but with wrap around plastic. So now double was decoded.now fire and water.
Some of them got a doubt that why is this one is plastic wrapped but another is not wrapped.
Some one answered "maybe it should not touch the water" Then Steve thought what happens if it touches water. He kept the wood piece in the water.
The wood piece started to loosen and after some time all the wood fiber is lost, due to imbibition effect. A Half piece of key is stuffed in the wood. The key is now in Steve's hand. Automatically the clue is understood.
The remaining is fire. The wood should be burned. All of them thought how to burn it? They started to check themselves for anything which will help to burn the thing. Random man shouted that in his pocket someone placed a lighter with very less fuel maybe only for once.
All understood that it is going according to the Stanley plan. But what we can do. If we don't work according to his plan we won't be able to make an antidote machine.
Everyone dies. So all understood that we can't do anything but to follow the rules of Stanley to stay alive. Steve lit the wood and after some time the other half of the key is out.
