Plot Setup

Machine is still not fixed; Doctor When needs Chronos' password to her supercomputer. He doesn't know it, but she gave him this mix tape long ago and hinted that she had hidden her most important secrets in it - which could very well be her password.

Props

Mixtape with insert.

Plot Point to Convey

Chronos loves When - plus, the machine is fixed now.

Short Description

Teams get a mixtape with 18 songs, each with the word "time" in the title, plus an insert with (out-of-order) artists and years and a poem from Catherine.

Detailed Description

Teams receivea mixtape created by Catherine Chronos when she was in high school and given to Wesley shortly before they graduated. They're told that Catherine had said it contained one of her biggest secrets, and Dr. When thinks that's probably the password to her computer. Enclosed with the mixtape is a poem that Catherine had written to young Wesley. All of the songs turn out to be time-related, and the puzzle solution implies that Catherine had a crush on Wesley.

Puzzle Answer

ILOVEWESLEY ("IHEARTWESLEY" is also acceptable.)

Puzzle Solution

(Erik has sent Wei-Hwa a Word file to insert/convert to the wiki.)
