Contractor, “Over the Hedge” Extended Reality (2006)

Client: Dreamworks via Chelsea Pictures.

Vetted 100 puzzles designed for campaign to promote the release of a feature film.

Testing Notes:
Text: “Due to the exhaustion of traveling so fast, Vern can only maintain this rate for four days, after that his speed is cut by 1/3 till he can rest.” This is a run-on sentence. The comma should be replaced by a period: “Due to the exhaustion of traveling so fast, Vern can only maintain this rate for four days. After that his speed is cut by 1/3 till he can rest.”

“…how far will each turtle be from the Vern’s starting point after fifteen days?” has an extra “the” in it. The text should read, “…how far will each turtle be from Vern’s starting point after fifteen days?”

Puzzle: The math problem works out as indicated: 34 and 38 miles. However, it’s a bit tricky since one would assume that if Vern and Mern are both traveling to the same destination, they would be walking together. After Vern catches up with Mern on the 11th day, Vern is too tired to walk fast and can only go 2 miles per day while Mern is fresh and can walk 3 miles per day. They will get separated during their trip, which isn’t immediately apparent from the text.
