CASE OF THE MONDAYS
You’ve just arrived at school and find that your teacher has written the date on the board. It says “Monday...”--but how can that be? You’re 100% sure yesterday was Monday, so it can’t be Monday again...right? You ask your teacher if they’ve made a mistake, but they just give you that “teacher look” and tell you to sit down.
“Class, I’m afraid I have some bad news. EVERY DAY for the remainder of the school year is going to be a Monday. I’m sure you are wondering how this happened. You know those e-mails we tell you NEVER to click on, well…(insert Principal’s name) clicked on one last night and then a bolt of lightning hit the school. This strange box appeared on his desk with a note explaining that unless his students could unlock the box, every day would be a Monday for the rest of the year. There’s a _____ minute timer attached to the box. Are you ready to save our school year, or will we suffer the curse of the Mondays?”
