Each team will have to solve 5 brain teasers. Each correct answer is worth $4,000 so up to $100,000 can be won in this mission. Each team has their own sub-board where you will solve the puzzles. You only have one guess per puzzle and so only the answer from the team leader (designated by the bold numbers) will count. Team leader, please give your answer in the form "The answer to puzzle [puzzle #] is [answer]." Each team will be eligible to win an exemption. All you have to do is solve all 5 riddles correctly. You have 24 hours for this mission. Good luck! TEAMS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HELP OTHER TEAMS!!!
