Short Description
The players need to help Dr. When fix the quantum chronomentometer. This event should occur outside of the central lab (a tech-y location like the Copmuter History Museum, the Exploratorium, or a clock repair shop feels appropriate). The nature of the event is wide-open: maybe teams find complicated blueprints that need to be "solved" (revealing a key setting for the chronomentometer?); maybe they need to physically construct an object; perhaps the crazy old guardian of the location says "Yep, I've got a working chronomentometer, but I won't give it to you unless you prove your worth by solving this mostly-unrelated puzzle". Successful completion of the event, in whatever form, results in a working chronomentometer.
Detailed Description
Possibly another physical device, or maybe a big blinking electric thing (need to get the "staging mentometer" working first, then Chronos will duplicate it on the one in the actual time machine.
Puzzle Solution
A correctly configured mentomenter. Maybe the key is figuring out the configuration, which is identified by a word/phrase/number.
