Congratulations, you got a framed picture for Jerry and he loves it! (He really likes chewing on the corner!) You heard from A.A.K.V.O. that they have a freighter passing through the Makassar Straight in a few hours and if you can get a boat, you can meet it and escape the island. Unfortunately, the only boat available is an old river boat, and you're not sure if it can go the required 6.5 km/h in steady water.
The boat owner is willing to take you to the freighter (he takes A.A.K.V.O. credit) but he doesn't know how fast it is. He only knows that every day it goes up the river 30 km and back again in 8 hours, and that the river moves at 2 km/h. Fortunately, that's all the information you need to calculate the speed of the boat in steady water. Is it fast enough to escape the island?
P.S. The PASSWORD is TREE but there's only a note inside. If you solve this problem before I get home, we can get the thing on the note when I get home. If not, maybe after dinner...

Picture Frame
Congratulations, you figured out the combination and escaped the FAMPO facility! You made your way to the coast and now you need to signal A.A.K.V.O. to come pick you up. But when you got to the beach, you saw a picture framing store and decided to get a present for Jerry!
You took the picture on the right of Jerry and want to get it framed. The cost for framing a picture is made up of two parts: glass costs 100 rupiah per square inch and the frame costs 200 rupiah per inch. If the frame has to be 4 by 3 to fit the picture of Jerry, what size picture can you get framed for 122,400 rupiah, the amount you have left (about $9)?
Get a big picture for Jerry!
