Panda Ant

Congratulations, you helped the first mate with his math problem and played with his eastern quoll. Today he has three more problems but he also has some insects for you to play with!

At right is one of his pet panda ants. And later, if you solve all the problems and get the password, he'll let you feed a snake to his centipede!

Either enter the answers into the comments to get the password or wait for another A.A.K.V.O. agent to check your answers later this afternoon.

Good luck!

Eastern Quoll

Congratulations, you've discovered a planet with viable animal life on it! A.A.K.V.O. agents are investigating this planet further and preparing for a mission to explore it. In the meantime, the first-mate has asked you for some help. He is practicing to take his G.E.D. (a test he has to take as an adult to get his high school degree because he dropped out) and needs help on the problem below. Please show him how to do the problem. If you do, he'll let you play with his pet eastern quoll!
