Question 1 of 25
1. "Good morning, agent. Your mission is to break into the notorious Chocolate Vault. I must warn you that the vault has twenty devious traps to keep you from the chocolaty treasure. First, you must travel to Paris, where the entry to the vault has been located. In Paris, under the 65ft (20m) tall Eiffel Tower by the eastern leg, you will find the entrance. Remember, agent, you are looking for the big red hat! Good luck agent 70000692."

Where must you go to find the entrance to the Chocolate Vault?
Hint


Question 2 of 25
2. First challenge: Animals- You have found the entrance to the Chocolate Vault. In front of you stands the first Guardian. The ferocious beast jumps out at you! It's a good thing you came prepared. You grab your weapon and fight. He is the same kind of animal as Sabor from the 1999 film "Tarzan". He uses his front claws and slashes at you, but he is no match for your weapon. He pins you down. However, you manage to free yourself before he goes in for his deadly attack. You come out victorious! What animal have you just fought? Hint


Question 3 of 25
3. Second Challenge: Brain Teasers- You stand before a giant fork in the road. There are four doors blocking four different paths. Behind three of these doors lies nothing but deadly fumes that will kill you. Behind one of the doors lies the path you must take to stay alive. Each door has a single sentence written on it; the three deadly doors have a false sentence, and only the correct door is truthful. Pick the door you want to enter carefully.

Door 1: Door 3 is telling the truth!
Door 2: Door 4 is lying.
Door 3: Door 2 is the correct door to take.
Door 4: Door 1 is lying.

Choose wisely. You don't want to get poisoned!
Hint


Question 4 of 25
4. Third Challenge: Celebrities- A ninja blocks the way, standing ready to fight. You, too, are ready to fight. It's a good thing you have your weapon with you, or you wouldn't stand a chance. He looks at you and says "Hai! I am Chon Wang. You shall not pass." At first you thought he said his name was John Wayne. Your mistake. This agitates Chon, and he begins to attack! You quickly dodge his attack, and you are locked in a terrific battle. Your opponent reminds you of a very famous martial artist and actor who plays a character named Chon Wang in a 2000 movie. Who is this martial artist/actor? Hint


Question 5 of 25
5. Fourth Challenge: Entertainment- You are doing quite well, but as you continue on, you feel as though you are in a comic book. You walk along the beach, when all of a sudden the sand begins to move. A humanoid creature stands before you, and he seems to be completely made of sand! You remember seeing a giant sand man before in a comic book you've read. Who is the Sandman's nemesis? Hint


Question 6 of 25
6. Fifth Challenge: For Children- As you are walking, a voice asks you to battle. He has a vast collection of monsters, but you only have a starter. You have a choice as to your starter. You must choose between grass-type, fire-type, and water-type. Will it be Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle? Choose wisely, as you only have one shot at battling the mysterious man before you. What children's game involves monsters such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle? Hint


Question 7 of 25
7. Sixth Challenge: General- You are given a riddle, a number riddle. You must give the number that fits all the clues. Only then will the path be opened for you to move forward. Can you solve the riddle?

Days a Week
Black ball
No cruel or unusual punishment
Religious path
Planets
Hint


Question 8 of 25
8. Seventh Challenge: Geography- "Agent, it seems we've reached a dead end. This Chocolate Vault was just a decoy. Lucky for us, we've found a clue. Apparently, the second entrance is in an underwater cave in the UK. It is in the country whose flag has a big white X from corner to corner on a light blue background. Oh, and don't eat anything with sheep's pluck in it--the sheep have been found dead because of an unknown illness. And please, no bagpipes!"

Where shall you travel?
Hint


Question 9 of 25
9. You jump into the waters of the deepest lake in the British Isles. You are very superstitious, so you are a bit frightened to be swimming around in the lake. A very famous local water monster, second only to Nessie, supposedly lurks around in these waters. In what body of water is the underground cave located? Hint


Question 10 of 25
10. Eighth Challenge: History- As you walk, you enter a huge room, and you discover that this is not only a chocolate vault, but a treasure vault, too! You see over 8,000 stone men, each uniquely carved, along with over 600 horses, 100 chariots, and musicians and acrobats, and you suddenly realize, "Salami has stolen a precious army of stone warriors". They spring to life, and they are ready to attack. How you will ever get out, you have no idea.

What are these statues of China called?
Hint


Question 11 of 25
11. Ninth Challenge: Hobbies- As you continue through the corridor, you notice a foul odor. You finally reach a wall, and discover the reason for the sickening smell. The wall is completely made of tripe! After several attempts to get through the wall, you realize the only way to get through is to eat the stuff. It isn't tasty, so you have to choke it down. You think to yourself; "if only this was made into ___". Which of these soups uses tripe? Hint


Question 12 of 25
12. Tenth Challenge: Humanities- With your stomach still churning from all that tripe, you continue to walk. Suddenly, you hear a noise, look up, and see a chandelier falling from above. You quickly leap out of its way. That was a close one! You realize Salami used an idea from an opera for this seemingly easy challenge. What is the Phantom's real name in "The Phantom of the Opera"? Hint


Question 13 of 25
13. You discover that the chandelier was not the end of the challenge yet. The chandelier blocks your path, but you see that there is an opening in the sparkling crystals. It is a maze! Knowing that Salami is a fan of guardians, you prepare yourself for some sort of creature to be lurking inside. If you are correct, Salami has used an ancient Greek myth, and, just like on Knossos, there is a certain beast inside. What creature is inside the maze? Hint


Question 14 of 25
14. Eleventh Challenge: Literature- Suddenly you walk into a cold, frozen wasteland. There is nothing around you now except a sled in the distance. As you get closer to the sled, you feel something hit your thigh. It isn't a bullet; it's ice! You have no idea why you are being attacked (well, actually, you do; it's the 11th challenge), but you jump behind the sled, hoping the ice does not come through the gaps in the sled and hit you. As your attackers back off, you walk on. You say "Curse you Dan Brown!" In which Dan Brown novel does a scene like this occur? Hint


Question 15 of 25
15. Twelfth Challenge: Movies- You keep moving forward, in a full sprint, when suddenly you stop in your tracks. You almost fall off the cliff down onto the spikes below. You have no idea how to move on. There is no bridge and no way around. You finally decide to just keep walking. You take a deep breath, put your foot above the chasm, and take a step. Halfway across you realize your idea worked! It's just like in the movie! In what "Indiana Jones" movie does someone walk on an invisible walkway above a chasm? Hint


Question 16 of 25
16. Thirteenth Challenge: Music- You continue to walk the path, and you reach a sign that says "The 13th Challenge". Unsure of what the challenge is, you continue walking--only to find yourself walking in circles. You then realize there is a board of letters under the sign that says "The 13th Challenge". After a few hours of thought, you finally realize what the challenge is. You've been "Walking in Circles!" You carefully punch the letters in the correct order; yes, the band that sings "Walking in Circles", which is on their 2005 album "Healthy in Paranoid Times". What band might this be? Hint


Question 17 of 25
17. Fourteenth Challenge: People- Suddenly you're hit in the head with an apple. "That's odd," you think, as you pick up the apple and take a bite. Ew, wax. Suddenly, a whole shower of apples rains down on you. You have to dodge the apples, jumping about all over the place. The apples don't seem to stop falling. You finally reach the end of the horrible fruity deluge, and realize that Salami has copied a famous scientist. Who? Hint


Question 18 of 25
18. Fifteenth Challenge: Religion- Standing before you is a man who is nine feet tall. The armor he is wearing is so heavy, he cannot possibly hold it all, so he has a smaller man holding his shield for him, which weighs nearly what the man holding it weighs. You rush at him, and try to cut him off at the legs, but he swings at you, and nearly cuts off your head. You decide a close encounter is not the best tactic. You find a slingshot on the ground, and with one smooth rock, you aim and fire. Struck on the forehead, the giant falls to the ground. Who was the man you just defeated? Hint


Question 19 of 25
19. Sixteenth Challenge: Sci/Tech- A door stands before you, with rather simple instructions for this task, though maybe not the easiest task to complete without a calculator. If you can input the 16th number in the Fibonnaci sequence, the door will open, and you can continue on. What is the 16th number, assuming the first number is 0? Hint


Question 20 of 25
20. Seventeenth Challenge: Sports- Run! You are suddenly being chased by all these people; they seem to want the weirdly-shaped oval thing in your arms. You see a giant yellow fork with only two tines several yards away. It seems safe. Now it's only 40, now only 30, yards away! You are getting closer. Almost there! Oh, that's weird. You passed a line, and all the people stopped trying to attack you. You continue on, hoping you won't have to run that fast again. What sport did you just accidentally play? Hint


Question 21 of 25
21. Eighteenth Challenge: Television- You have come to a spot where two people are standing. They stop you, and tell you that you need to participate in a challenge in order to move on. The challenge is simple; hold on to a pole with a platform on the top, and don't let the tiki fall off. Here's the catch: you add another foot long pole every ten minutes. It gets harder and harder to keep it on top. You will compete against a champion; he has never lost, or so he says. Jeff (that's the other guy) waves his hand and says "Go!" and the race begins. Wait--this reminds you of a challenge on what TV show? Hint


Question 22 of 25
22. Nineteenth Challenge: Video Games- A giant turtle stands in your path. He has spikes on his shell, two horns on his head, and he looks tough. He is huge to begin with, but now he just made himself bigger. He also shoots fireballs at you. Just your luck. You discover the only way to defeat him is to jump on his head as hard as you can. Who are you fighting? Hint


Question 23 of 25
23. Twentieth Challenge: World- "Pripremiti da bude svedok veoma Ljutina nad Tigrica, najveći svetski ninja Ratnik!" You quickly grab your translator; "Prepare to witness the mighty wrath of Tigress, the world's greatest ninja warrior!" Oh, great, just what you need; another ninja. Well, at least you started and ended fighting an animal. But, what language is this ninja warrior, Tigress, speaking? Hint


Question 24 of 25
24. You run into the next room, and in front of you stands Salami.

Salami: "What? You made it through all 20 challenges? Very well. I suppose I will just deal with you myself. Mwahahahaha!"

Salami transforms himself into the exact beast Dr. M. transformed himself into in a video game. It is all becoming clear to you. Salami is trying to copy a "Sly Cooper" video game! The vault, with its many challenges, followed by fighting Salami himself, is the same spider contraption as Dr. M, all for the treasure inside the vault. In which Sly Cooper video game does this appear?
Hint


Question 25 of 25
25. You have finally reached the chocolate. In front of you, to your sides, behind you is Chocolate Heaven. Even the gently flowing waters are made of pure chocolate. The chocolate waters are kept constantly the same temperature so they do not lose their sheen when cooled. All the chocolate in the entire room has been tempered beautifully. What is the ideal temperature to temper chocolate? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Good morning, agent. Your mission is to break into the notorious Chocolate Vault. I must warn you that the vault has twenty devious traps to keep you from the chocolaty treasure. First, you must travel to Paris, where the entry to the vault has been located. In Paris, under the 65ft (20m) tall Eiffel Tower by the eastern leg, you will find the entrance. Remember, agent, you are looking for the big red hat! Good luck agent 70000692." Where must you go to find the entrance to the Chocolate Vault?

Answer: Texas

The biggest hint here was the big red hat. While there are many Eiffel Tower replicas found throughout the US' 17 cities named Paris, only one is topped with a giant red cowboy hat. That would be Paris, Texas. The Eiffel Tower replica from Paris, Texas was constructed in 1993, and in 1998 the big red hat was placed on top. Of course, the original replica (neat oxymoron, huh?) of the Eiffel Tower was destroyed by a tornado, as it was originally made of wood.

Salami: "Congratulations, agent. You have found the entrance to my Chocolate Vault. But there is no way you can make it through all twenty challenges of the Chocolate Vault! Mwahahahaha!"
2. First challenge: Animals- You have found the entrance to the Chocolate Vault. In front of you stands the first Guardian. The ferocious beast jumps out at you! It's a good thing you came prepared. You grab your weapon and fight. He is the same kind of animal as Sabor from the 1999 film "Tarzan". He uses his front claws and slashes at you, but he is no match for your weapon. He pins you down. However, you manage to free yourself before he goes in for his deadly attack. You come out victorious! What animal have you just fought?

Answer: Leopard

Big cats usually attack with their powerful front claws, and once the prey is pinned down, a powerful bite is given to either crush the trachea or break the neck from the back. In Disney's "Tarzan" (1999), Tarzan fights Sabor, a vicious leopard, several times throughout the movie.

Boss: "Good work, agent. You have managed to make it through the Chocolate Vault's first obstacle. But be wary, agent. You never know when the next obstacle is going to hit you in the face."
3. Second Challenge: Brain Teasers- You stand before a giant fork in the road. There are four doors blocking four different paths. Behind three of these doors lies nothing but deadly fumes that will kill you. Behind one of the doors lies the path you must take to stay alive. Each door has a single sentence written on it; the three deadly doors have a false sentence, and only the correct door is truthful. Pick the door you want to enter carefully. Door 1: Door 3 is telling the truth! Door 2: Door 4 is lying. Door 3: Door 2 is the correct door to take. Door 4: Door 1 is lying. Choose wisely. You don't want to get poisoned!

Answer: Door 4

Solving this problem requires a bit of logic. If Door 1 was the right path, it would be telling the truth. This means Door 3 would be lying, because it is a false door. Therefore, Door 3 is NOT telling the truth, so 1, therefore, is also lying. Door 3, who is lying, says that Door 2 is the correct door to take. This means, obviously, that Door 2 is not the right door to take. We can now already assume that the remaining door, Door 4, is telling the truth. But moving on, if Door 2 is lying, he is lying about Door 4 lying. Therefore, Door 4 is telling the truth. Door 4 says Door 1 is lying, which it is, so we know, as a fact, Door 4 is the correct door to take.

Boss: "Agent, are you dead yet? If not, congratulations! Continue on down the path until you reach the next challenge."

Salami: "I see you have bested my jaguar, and gotten through the doors. You are much smarter than I thought. But you will never make it through all 20 of my challenges! Never!"
4. Third Challenge: Celebrities- A ninja blocks the way, standing ready to fight. You, too, are ready to fight. It's a good thing you have your weapon with you, or you wouldn't stand a chance. He looks at you and says "Hai! I am Chon Wang. You shall not pass." At first you thought he said his name was John Wayne. Your mistake. This agitates Chon, and he begins to attack! You quickly dodge his attack, and you are locked in a terrific battle. Your opponent reminds you of a very famous martial artist and actor who plays a character named Chon Wang in a 2000 movie. Who is this martial artist/actor?

Answer: Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is a Chinese actor born in 1954. In the movies "Shanghai Noon" (2000) and "Shanghai Knights" (2003), Jackie Chan played a character by the name of Chon Wang, who Owen Wilson's character thought to have been named John Wayne. Jackie Chan also stars in "Rush Hour" with Chris Tucker.

Exhausted, you sit down and rest after the holographic Jackie Chan-like ninja's defeat. You wonder how it could get any worse than that. You think out loud to yourself "At least it can't get much harder."

Salami: "Oh, but it can, and it will. You have defeated my jaguar, solved my puzzle, and even conquered a great ninja warrior. But be warned, agent, there is much to go before you reach the chocolate. But you never will!"

Boss: "Agent, get up! You don't have much time! You need to find the chocolate before it's too late! Get up, agent!"
5. Fourth Challenge: Entertainment- You are doing quite well, but as you continue on, you feel as though you are in a comic book. You walk along the beach, when all of a sudden the sand begins to move. A humanoid creature stands before you, and he seems to be completely made of sand! You remember seeing a giant sand man before in a comic book you've read. Who is the Sandman's nemesis?

Answer: Spiderman

The Sandman first appears in "The Amazing Spider-Man #4", which was published in September of 1963. He was a nemesis of Spiderman, and he was able to control large amounts of sand. He could form his body into any sand shape he wanted.

You finally defeat the Sandman, thinking to yourself how proud Spiderman would have been if he had seen you. You have made it through four tasks.

Boss: "Great job, agent! I so totally did not see that coming. That Salami is tricky. It can only get tougher from here. Be on your guard, agent, and keep a constant eye on everything around you..."
6. Fifth Challenge: For Children- As you are walking, a voice asks you to battle. He has a vast collection of monsters, but you only have a starter. You have a choice as to your starter. You must choose between grass-type, fire-type, and water-type. Will it be Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle? Choose wisely, as you only have one shot at battling the mysterious man before you. What children's game involves monsters such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle?

Answer: Pokémon

Bulbasaur is the grass-type Pokémon, Charmander is the fire-type, and Squirtle is the water-type. Originally a trading card game, but sparking many movies, games, and even television shows, "Pokémon" was created in 1996. The name "Pokémon" means "pocket monsters".

You have chosen wisely. Apparently, your opponent has a lot of great fire-type Pokémon, but the water-type Pokémon quickly extinguishes any monster he throws at you! Congratulations, you are one step closer to the chocolate treasure.

Salami: "Lucky pick, agent. You are much smarter than I thought at first. But you will never make it to my chocolate treasure!"
7. Sixth Challenge: General- You are given a riddle, a number riddle. You must give the number that fits all the clues. Only then will the path be opened for you to move forward. Can you solve the riddle? Days a Week Black ball No cruel or unusual punishment Religious path Planets

Answer: 8

I hope this was a bit tricky. One would lean toward 7 based on a couple of the options. A religious path would be the Eightfold Path of Enlightenment of Buddhism. The 8th Amendment of the U.S. states there should be no cruel or unusual punishment. In pool/billiards, the black ball is the 8 ball. There are 8 planets in the solar system, as Pluto was dropped as a planet. Finally, while there may be only 7 days a week, I am actually referring to the Beatles' song "Eight Days a Week".

Boss: "Well done, Agent. I was sure it was seven. That definitely stumped me. Keep at it. That chocolate will be ours."

Salami: "Mwahahahahaha!"
8. Seventh Challenge: Geography- "Agent, it seems we've reached a dead end. This Chocolate Vault was just a decoy. Lucky for us, we've found a clue. Apparently, the second entrance is in an underwater cave in the UK. It is in the country whose flag has a big white X from corner to corner on a light blue background. Oh, and don't eat anything with sheep's pluck in it--the sheep have been found dead because of an unknown illness. And please, no bagpipes!" Where shall you travel?

Answer: Scotland

The flag of Scotland has the cross of St. Andrew on it. He is the Patron Saint of Scotland, and his day is celebrated on November 30th. Sheep's pluck is the sheep's heart, lungs, and liver, and is commonly found in a Scottish delicacy, haggis. Bagpipes are known to be a Scottish instrument, though they are found all over Europe.

Boss: "Nicely done, agent. Now that you're here in Scotland, I can tell you where to go to find the underwater cave."

Salami: "So, you figured out the first path was a decoy, eh? Well, this one is the real deal, and you have successfully passed my seventh challenge. Thirteen more remain, but you will never make it that far."
9. You jump into the waters of the deepest lake in the British Isles. You are very superstitious, so you are a bit frightened to be swimming around in the lake. A very famous local water monster, second only to Nessie, supposedly lurks around in these waters. In what body of water is the underground cave located?

Answer: Loch Morar

All four lakes are largest in different ways. Loch Ness is the largest by volume in the United Kingdom, Lough Neagh is the largest by area, and Loch Lomond is the largest in Scotland. Loch Morar is by far the deepest, reaching depths of just over 1,000 feet. The Loch Ness Monster, known as Nessie, reputedly lurks around Loch Ness. The second most famous local water monster is Morag, which is a pun of the name of the loch. Nessie gained popularity in the 1930s, and other water monsters, like Morag, were quickly overshadowed by the beast of Loch Ness.

Salami: "Very good, agent. It seems you have found the underwater cave entrance. And you avoided my entrance guardian, Morag. She must have been sleeping..."
10. Eighth Challenge: History- As you walk, you enter a huge room, and you discover that this is not only a chocolate vault, but a treasure vault, too! You see over 8,000 stone men, each uniquely carved, along with over 600 horses, 100 chariots, and musicians and acrobats, and you suddenly realize, "Salami has stolen a precious army of stone warriors". They spring to life, and they are ready to attack. How you will ever get out, you have no idea. What are these statues of China called?

Answer: Terracotta Army

The Terracotta Army was discovered by local farmers in 1974. The Terracotta Army was dated back to 210 BC. Over 8,000 figures, each uniquely carved with different facial features, along with 130 chariots, 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, were found buried in pits, and most are still buried. Archeologists also believe there are many more pits yet to be discovered.

That was easier than you expected. It turns out, all you needed to do to pass was flip the switch that turns all of the Terracotta Army back to stone. You also discover that Salami hadn't stolen the statues; they were all exact replicas. You continue through the room, cautious not to flip any more "switches", as not to awaken the sleeping stone.

Salami to henchman: "You idiot! Why did you install a switch? The least you could have done was install it on the OTHER side!"

Boss: "Well done, agent. I would not have thought to flip the switch; it would be dark too dark in there. And I am afraid of the dark."
11. Ninth Challenge: Hobbies- As you continue through the corridor, you notice a foul odor. You finally reach a wall, and discover the reason for the sickening smell. The wall is completely made of tripe! After several attempts to get through the wall, you realize the only way to get through is to eat the stuff. It isn't tasty, so you have to choke it down. You think to yourself; "if only this was made into ___". Which of these soups uses tripe?

Answer: Menudo

Menudo is a spicy Mexican soup usually eaten with tortillas. It has tripe in it, which is the stomach of certain animals. Meat in the soup also includes beef (the feet) and tendons.

Salami: "I never thought you could stomach the tripe! I thought for sure it would send you running!"
12. Tenth Challenge: Humanities- With your stomach still churning from all that tripe, you continue to walk. Suddenly, you hear a noise, look up, and see a chandelier falling from above. You quickly leap out of its way. That was a close one! You realize Salami used an idea from an opera for this seemingly easy challenge. What is the Phantom's real name in "The Phantom of the Opera"?

Answer: Erik

Erik is a deformed man who lives in the catacombs of the opera house. He is believed to be a ghost or a phantom. He is in love with Christine, who is in love with Raoul. Gaston Leroux originally wrote the novel in 1909, and it was made into several movies and musicals. Andrew Lloyd Weber's version of the musical, first shown in 1986, became the longest running Broadway musical in the 20th century.

Boss: "Wow, that was close! I thought you were going to be crushed by the giant chandelier! What a simple challenge."

Salami: "Mwahahahaha!"
13. You discover that the chandelier was not the end of the challenge yet. The chandelier blocks your path, but you see that there is an opening in the sparkling crystals. It is a maze! Knowing that Salami is a fan of guardians, you prepare yourself for some sort of creature to be lurking inside. If you are correct, Salami has used an ancient Greek myth, and, just like on Knossos, there is a certain beast inside. What creature is inside the maze?

Answer: Minotaur

According to the myth, King Minos had the labyrinth built on Knossos. He would send 14 people every nine years to be eaten by the minotaur, the half bull half man creature. It was near impossible to find the escape in the labyrinth before being eaten. Theseus, however, was given a ball of string by Ariadne, and he took out a sword he hid from the guards, and went into the labyrinth to kill the minotaur.

You come to find there was no minotaur; it was just a false alarm. There was, however, a kitten, who proved to be a nuisance, because he kept playing with the ball of string you brought!

Salami: "I used the exact pattern of the labyrinth in Greek myth, but I could not afford a minotaur; that is so embarrassing... But, no matter, the other challenges are hard enough. You will still never get my chocolate!"
14. Eleventh Challenge: Literature- Suddenly you walk into a cold, frozen wasteland. There is nothing around you now except a sled in the distance. As you get closer to the sled, you feel something hit your thigh. It isn't a bullet; it's ice! You have no idea why you are being attacked (well, actually, you do; it's the 11th challenge), but you jump behind the sled, hoping the ice does not come through the gaps in the sled and hit you. As your attackers back off, you walk on. You say "Curse you Dan Brown!" In which Dan Brown novel does a scene like this occur?

Answer: Deception Point

"Deception Point" was written by Dan Brown in 2001. It involves a young woman by the name of Rachel Sexton who is asked to visit Antarctica, because an amazing discovery has been made; but it is no discovery, it is an evil plot. I won't tell you more, it will spoil it.

During the scene mentioned, after one character passes out, the attackers come up and stuff his mouth with snow, so it will melt and drown the person, so the death would seem like it came from natural causes.

Salami: "Dan Brown, you have failed me. I thought that scene would work in stopping anyone from getting through."

You: "You shouldn't have left the sled for me to hide behind..."

Salami: "Curses!"
15. Twelfth Challenge: Movies- You keep moving forward, in a full sprint, when suddenly you stop in your tracks. You almost fall off the cliff down onto the spikes below. You have no idea how to move on. There is no bridge and no way around. You finally decide to just keep walking. You take a deep breath, put your foot above the chasm, and take a step. Halfway across you realize your idea worked! It's just like in the movie! In what "Indiana Jones" movie does someone walk on an invisible walkway above a chasm?

Answer: The Last Crusade

"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was the third movie in the "Indiana Jones" movie series, released in 1989. In the movie, there are three tests that Indy must get through to reach the holy grail. One of these involves a giant leap of faith from the head of the lion. Indiana must have faith in god, and a narrow bridge appears that he can walk on to cross the deep chasm.

What a frightening task! But you finally made it across, and you may now continue on with your journey.

Salami: "Well done, agent. I thought you would see there was no way across and give up. I never expected you to figure out there was an invisible path. I applaud your efforts. Twelve challenges have been passed, but eight more remain, and you are almost guaranteed to fail those! Mwahahaha!"
16. Thirteenth Challenge: Music- You continue to walk the path, and you reach a sign that says "The 13th Challenge". Unsure of what the challenge is, you continue walking--only to find yourself walking in circles. You then realize there is a board of letters under the sign that says "The 13th Challenge". After a few hours of thought, you finally realize what the challenge is. You've been "Walking in Circles!" You carefully punch the letters in the correct order; yes, the band that sings "Walking in Circles", which is on their 2005 album "Healthy in Paranoid Times". What band might this be?

Answer: Our Lady Peace

Our Lady Peace is a rock band that formed in Canada in 1992. In 1994, the first album was released, called "Naveed". In 1997, their second, and perhaps most recognized, album was released, entitled "Clumsy". Our Lady Peace has won ten MuchMusic Video Awards. This set a record for the most MMVA won by a single artist or band.

After you put in the final letter on the letter board, the sign reveals a new path, one that won't make you run around in circles. You take the new path.

Salami: "Well done, agent. I thought you would never get my tricky Thirteenth Challenge. You may have bested the unluckiest challenge, but prepare for the worst that lies ahead!"
17. Fourteenth Challenge: People- Suddenly you're hit in the head with an apple. "That's odd," you think, as you pick up the apple and take a bite. Ew, wax. Suddenly, a whole shower of apples rains down on you. You have to dodge the apples, jumping about all over the place. The apples don't seem to stop falling. You finally reach the end of the horrible fruity deluge, and realize that Salami has copied a famous scientist. Who?

Answer: Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton was born in 1643, and died in 1727 at the age of 84. Though it is believed that Isaac Newton learned of gravity due to an apple falling on his head, this is not true. In fact, Newton knew of gravity, but to study it more and prove his gravity theory accurate, he watched an apple fall to the ground. This proved that everything falls, so he was right. But no, he never had an apple actually hit his head.

Salami: "Not my best idea, I must admit."

Boss: "Good work, agent! You're doing wonderful!"
18. Fifteenth Challenge: Religion- Standing before you is a man who is nine feet tall. The armor he is wearing is so heavy, he cannot possibly hold it all, so he has a smaller man holding his shield for him, which weighs nearly what the man holding it weighs. You rush at him, and try to cut him off at the legs, but he swings at you, and nearly cuts off your head. You decide a close encounter is not the best tactic. You find a slingshot on the ground, and with one smooth rock, you aim and fire. Struck on the forehead, the giant falls to the ground. Who was the man you just defeated?

Answer: Goliath

"David and Goliath" is a well known story from the Bible, found in 1 Samuel chapter 17. With only a sling and five small stones, David prepares himself for battle against Goliath, the giant Philistine from Gath. Goliath keeps challenging Israel to fight him, and finally, though Saul is reluctant, David steps up, and with God's help, fells the mighty man with one stone. He used Goliath's sword to cut off his head (no, not his own; Goliath's).

The crashing of the huge man rumbled the ground a little, and caught you off balance, but you continue on, ready for the next challenge.

Salami: "Gaaah!"
19. Sixteenth Challenge: Sci/Tech- A door stands before you, with rather simple instructions for this task, though maybe not the easiest task to complete without a calculator. If you can input the 16th number in the Fibonnaci sequence, the door will open, and you can continue on. What is the 16th number, assuming the first number is 0?

Answer: 610

The 16th number in the Fibonacci sequence is 610. The Fibonacci sequence is created when you start with 0 and 1, and add the two numbers together to get 1, then add 1 and 1 to get 2, then 1 and 2 to get 3, 2 and 3 to get 5, etc.

Doing so will give you the sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, etc. In this series, 610 is the 16th listed. 377 is the 15th, 233 is the 14th, and 987 is the 17th.
20. Seventeenth Challenge: Sports- Run! You are suddenly being chased by all these people; they seem to want the weirdly-shaped oval thing in your arms. You see a giant yellow fork with only two tines several yards away. It seems safe. Now it's only 40, now only 30, yards away! You are getting closer. Almost there! Oh, that's weird. You passed a line, and all the people stopped trying to attack you. You continue on, hoping you won't have to run that fast again. What sport did you just accidentally play?

Answer: Football

The weirdly-shaped thing in your arm would be the football. The reason you are being chased is because, in order to prevent a touchdown, you need to be tackled. The giant, yellow, two-tined fork is the goalpost, where you kick the ball for a field goal. You got closer, passing the forty and the thirty yard line, and eventually, passed the final line, thus scoring a touchdown. The people backed off because there is no need to tackle you; you have scored.

You: "I think I just scored a basket with the soccer ball passing the finish line. How many points did I score? Oh yeah; FORE!"

Salami: (slaps forehead)
21. Eighteenth Challenge: Television- You have come to a spot where two people are standing. They stop you, and tell you that you need to participate in a challenge in order to move on. The challenge is simple; hold on to a pole with a platform on the top, and don't let the tiki fall off. Here's the catch: you add another foot long pole every ten minutes. It gets harder and harder to keep it on top. You will compete against a champion; he has never lost, or so he says. Jeff (that's the other guy) waves his hand and says "Go!" and the race begins. Wait--this reminds you of a challenge on what TV show?

Answer: Survivor

The Jeff referred to is Jeff Probst, the host of "Survivor". The first season of "Survivor" took place in 2000, with two seasons taking place each year. Locations of play are in unique jungles and other wilderness areas such as Palau, Tocantins, and Gabon. The motto of "Survivor": "Outwit. Outplay. Outlast."

You won, finally, after two hours and thirteen minutes of play. How you ever managed to balance a tiki on a fourteen foot pole you'll never know.

Salami: "Fourteen feet; impressive. A new record."

Boss: "We only have two more challenges, agent! Two more challenges until we get the cho..."

Salami: "I'm sorry, agent. No more communications!"
22. Nineteenth Challenge: Video Games- A giant turtle stands in your path. He has spikes on his shell, two horns on his head, and he looks tough. He is huge to begin with, but now he just made himself bigger. He also shoots fireballs at you. Just your luck. You discover the only way to defeat him is to jump on his head as hard as you can. Who are you fighting?

Answer: Bowser

Bowser is the main antagonist in quite a few "Mario" games. He was first introduced in 1985, in the game "Super Mario Bros". He is also known as the Koopa King, because he is a koopa, and, well, the king of them.

Gnasty Gnorc is one of Spyro the dragon's main enemies, Cortex is Crash's foe, and King K. Rool is one of Donkey Kong's adversaries.

Salami: "Bowser should have stopped you. A giant, threatening beast like that should have squashed you like a bug! How you ever defeated my monster..."
23. Twentieth Challenge: World- "Pripremiti da bude svedok veoma Ljutina nad Tigrica, najveći svetski ninja Ratnik!" You quickly grab your translator; "Prepare to witness the mighty wrath of Tigress, the world's greatest ninja warrior!" Oh, great, just what you need; another ninja. Well, at least you started and ended fighting an animal. But, what language is this ninja warrior, Tigress, speaking?

Answer: Serbian

Serbian is a Slavic language. It is the official language of Serbia (go figure), and an official language of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is also a minor language in Croatia, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia, among others.

Isn't that peculiar--a Serbian Siberian tiger? How odd. She was a fierce competitor, but you finally manage to defeat Tigress. She certainly was not lying when she said she was the greatest. Way better than the holographic Jackie Chan.

Salami: "What... No way have you defeated Tigress! She was unbeatable! No no no no no no no! This can't be! How did you avoid her spiraling flame attack of death?"
24. You run into the next room, and in front of you stands Salami. Salami: "What? You made it through all 20 challenges? Very well. I suppose I will just deal with you myself. Mwahahahaha!" Salami transforms himself into the exact beast Dr. M. transformed himself into in a video game. It is all becoming clear to you. Salami is trying to copy a "Sly Cooper" video game! The vault, with its many challenges, followed by fighting Salami himself, is the same spider contraption as Dr. M, all for the treasure inside the vault. In which Sly Cooper video game does this appear?

Answer: Honor Among Thieves

Dr. M is the main enemy of Sly Cooper in "Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves". Dr. M has found Kaine Island, and has tried desperately to enter the vault where the Cooper Clan keeps storing their stolen treasure.

"Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves" was released in 2005 for the PS2. "Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus" is the first in the series, released in 2002. "Sly 2: Band of Thieves" was the second in the series, released in 2004.

With Salami finally defeated, you can now head back to collect your chocolate. Fortunately for you, the only part of "Sly 3" that Salami didn't copy was the entire vault collapsing, closing it off forever.
25. You have finally reached the chocolate. In front of you, to your sides, behind you is Chocolate Heaven. Even the gently flowing waters are made of pure chocolate. The chocolate waters are kept constantly the same temperature so they do not lose their sheen when cooled. All the chocolate in the entire room has been tempered beautifully. What is the ideal temperature to temper chocolate?

Answer: 88F (31C)

If you keep chocolate at 88F (31C) while forming, spreading, mixing, etc, then let it cool in the shape you want, the chocolate will harden perfectly, and have a nice sheen to it. If cooled without tempering first, the chocolate will set, but not as hard as one would probably like. It will still be soft, and it will not have the shine; it will be dull in appearance, and it will have a greasy layer on it. This is certainly not wanted if you are to have chocolate treasures! At 200F (95C), chocolate will burn.

Salami comes hobbling in: "Congratulations, agent. I see that I cannot stop you. Take as much chocolate as you want, but please, do not share your chocolate with anyone else. They have to try to get it themselves."
