Staff Instructions
Your Role: Peach Frontier Laboratories Lab Assistant.
Where To Get Materials: GC HQ
Handout Instructions: Lab assistant at gym says words to the effect of,
It's been a long night and everyone is starving. All the lab assistants are tied up in calculations.
I hate to ask this of you, but here are some restaurant delivery menus. Would you please order us some food? Just work out an order and give it to one of the lab assistants when you're done.
Oh, but we have some picky eaters, so there are some constraints: we only have $100 with which we have to feed all 20 of us. There have to be at least 5 vegetarian meals and at least 10 non-vegetarian meals. And, oh...we don't want to be bad customers...so we always give each delivery driver a $3 tip.
And hands out puzzle.

Thank you so much for this. We're starving.

Other Instructions:
- Stay in character.
- Except ... if a team says "time out," break character and help them.
Detailed Description
The set up would be something like, "We hate to ask you to do such a menial thing, but the lab assistants are getting hungry so we need to phone in orders to a few delivery restaurants. We only have 3 $20s, 6 $10s, 3 $5s, (etc.) and can't make change. We need at least n burgers, but no more than m. Monica is a vegetarian so we need to have at least one vegetarian meal. Sam is gluten intolerant. We need both diet cola and regular. (etc.)
"Here's a set of delivery coupons that you can use. Would you please work out an order that will please everyone, write it down on this form, and cut out the appropriate coupons?"
We would make up all sorts of coupons (Sam's Chinese Food, Belmont Burgers, etc.; one or more per establishment). Each coupon would have it's own constraints, such as
- Expiration date (i.e., some coupons that would really help the order...won't be valid)
- Not valid in combination with any other offer (on two coupons from the same establishment)
- Only original coupons accepted--no photocopies
And, most importantly, the coupons would be printed on both sides of the same sheet of paper. That means that cutting out and using certain coupons would prevent using certain other coupons on the reverse side.
The coupons could be for things like,
- 50% off 2nd meal of equal or lesser value
- Free litre of Coke with order of $15 or more
How To Give To Teams
Given in person, see Staff Instructions
Puzzle Answer
This puzzle would not solve to a particular phrase. Rather, the players would have to write down precisely which items should be ordered from each restaurant. They would also have to cut out and hand in the required coupons.
Puzzle Solution
Teams must submit the following order - which costs exactly $100 - as well as seven appropriate coupons.
- 5 Tofurkey from Tofu House, with coupon - $27.45 + $3.00 tip = $30.45
- 4 Spam Sushi, with coupon - $21.96 - $10 coupon + $3.00 tip = $14.96
- 1 Schintzel meal from Schnitzelfest, with five "other" coupons
(Maria's, Weekday Combo, Burgermania, and two Pizza coupons) = $7.69 - $7.50 + $3.00 tip = $3.19
- 10 Imperial combos from Won Hung Lo - regular price = $48.40 + $3.00 tip = $51.40
Total = $100.00

Version 1 was play tested. Great visual appeal, nice "ah-ha" moment, but may hardly slow down a rabbit team.
