One solution:
Chase Reterford: Talk to
Chase. He's the fixer in the team.
Chase believes the team will lose because of Scott's
negative attitude.
Learn that the guy Nancy replaced was stranded
because mice chewed the coolant hose of the car.
Tool cabinet: Check the tool
cabinet and read the newspaper clipping about the Howard J. Bison, the mascot
of Canute College.
Hose: Turn around and check the
hose on the wood shelf. Look close and see that there is a sharp V cut on the
hose. It's not mice that did that.
Work table: Look close at
work table and see another mouse.
At right side of the table, see some boxes of
candies and a jar of tokens. Chase loves sweets.
Talk to Chase. Learn that the tokens from Ma 'n
Pa's Store are pennies.
You can change them for candies at the store.
To earn tokens from Chase, fix the weather balloon
circuit boards and he will give pennies.
Earn pennies by wiring weather balloon boards:
Go to the work table and read the paper.
Each fan has a specific number of wires that are
needed to be attached to it.
No wires should overlap.
Check the overload meter. If it reaches red, the
board is too damaged.
Check the fans by pressing the power on button. If
all the fans spin, then the wiring was done correctly.
If done correctly, you get paid full price. If a
mistake is done, Chase takes back a quarter.
Click on a side or corner and wires will be
placed. Double check that the diagonals are placed correctly.
Double click a wire to turn it. The clear button
resets the puzzle.
One strategy is to work on the corners or edges
first. Work the highest number at the center next.

next area.
When all areas are filled with mice, the trapping
is complete. Pick up the mousetrap. I got 'em!
Scott says to release the mice in at the
springhouse at Old Orchard Rd.
Springhouse:

Enter the farmhouse. Talk to Debbie and she said
that a twister is sighted. You will ride with Frosty.
Find the twister:
Enter the car and go north. Frosty will tell you if
you're going the wrong way. Frosty is excitable.
Go west or left until the road turns to north and
then west. Go north at first intersection.
Go left and close by the intersection is a layby at
north side of the road. Enter the layby and see the twister.
Video programming:
Frosty says that his video is not working and that
you should repair it.
To reconfigure, place black numbers from the
bottom of the screen on to blank areas above.
The black numbers should be placed so that the
numbers are sequential and are connected horizontally, vertically or
diagonally.
Care should be done to leave space for future
number placements. Think ahead not to block a path. Look ahead to see where
the next several numbers are to be situated and count how many numbers need
be placed yet to reach that number.
The reset button is at top right of the screen.
The sequentially placed numbers are highlighted to show if there is a break.
Take a black number from the bottom, click it in
place. Automatically, the number on the cursor changes. Click on the next
blank space you want to place the next number and so on...
You can save during the puzzle solving.
