The previous activity revealed that the time machine's chronomentometer is malfunctioning. Luckily Doctor When is an expert on such matters -- he did his dissertation on the topic.

- Four sets of hex tiles per team
Plot Point to Convey
The machine is closer to being fixed.
Short Description
The players need to help Doctor When fix the quantum chronomentometer.
Detailed Description
Jigsaw puzzle with constraints. Physical pieces given to players to model the "real" one in the time machine, along with four partial maps on paper. They submit their completed arrangements to lab staff, who will confirm the solution.
Puzzle Answer
Correctly configured mentomenters, represented by an alphanumeric sequence.
Puzzle Solution
Each set consists of unique hexaxgonal 4-ominoes (and some 3-ominoes) that tesselate into the Trenchwood "T" logo shape. For each puzzle sheet, some of the pieces are given fixed positions, and the others must be figured out.
