Plot Setup
Prof. Chronus nearly has the machine working properly with the new pep rings, the password, etc. But it still needs to be "calibrated." The View-O-Scope has recorded the different times and places the Doctor has bounced to. (Players are seeing where the Dr. has been while they were doing the previous puzzles - it's not supposed to be "live".)
Props
see Puzzle Theme.
Plot Point to Convey
General time hijinx.
Short Description
Movie clips of Doctor When lost in time. Solution predicts his next location.
Detailed Description
Make a movie that consists of clips of other movies (Ben Hur, Land That Time Forgot, Zardoz...you get the idea) and then use blue screen to superimpose Doctor When. The funnier the situation the better. In some he could be running for his life and others he could be the King of Siam. Prof. tells the players that if they could just predict the next place he's going to bounce to she'll be able to calibrate the machine and make it fully functional.
Puzzle Answer
Well-defined time/space coordinate, describable in a short phrase. Example: "BeginningOfTime"

To Do
Wei-Hwa has indicated that he will make revisions (or suggestions for revision) for another round of internal testing. Get videographer to do the real thing.
Other Notes
For foreshadowing purposes, it may be useful to show something like the following - Doctor When briefly "spinning in a time vortex" in between each movie, and in one of these vortices, the envelope flies out of his coat pocket and is lost in the vortex.
