c. The Cinema

Ash will catch the train to The Cinema, which is walking distance from home. It costs $5 for a train pass, and takes 1 hour to get there.

A. The Cinema has a lot of movies to choose from, and tickets cost $`13 each. Better take some time to think it over. What should Ash do first?

1. Head to the video game arcade
2. Go to the candy corner

A.1 Amidst all the flashing lights and loud noises, Ash finds Jude, an excellent gamer, who will win against Ash more than half the time – without fail! Jude proposes a deal: if Ash can win 3 games against Jude, then Jude will pay for the movie. Not bad, huh? Jude and Ash each put in $20, what game should Ash choose?

1. Kung-fu hero: $5 per game
2. Nascar knockout: $8 per game

A.2 Wow, all the colours! Another overwhelming choice. A bag of mixed sweets is $3. How many should Ash get?

1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 5

Alright, Ash is stocked up – better share some of those to avoid a sugar crash! What should Ash do next?

1. Head to the video game arcade (Goto A.1)
2. Catch the train to The Aquarium (Goto a)
3. Catch the train to The Botanic Gardens (Goto b)

A.1.1. Jude won 5 games of Kung-fu hero, which means Ash won 3, well done! Jude will buy 2 tickets to see ‘Machine Person 2’, which are $13 each. Jude has $30, so Ash can chip in some extra for a few treats. What should Ash do?

1. Tell Jude to keep the change
2. Get a large popcorn – $12
3. Get a mega movie pack – $19

A.1.2 Oh no, Jude won 4 games of Nascar Knockout, which means Ash only won 1 game, not 3! Looks like Ash fell for Jude’s artful deception yet again. Ash will buy 2 tickets to see ‘Machine Person 2’, which are $13 each.

Wow, what a cliffhanger! It turns out machine people really know how to defend the galaxy, lucky for us. Jude is worn out so wants to head home, what will Ash do?

1. Catch the train to The Aquarium (Goto a)
2. Catch the train to The Botanic Gardens (Goto b)
3. Call it a day and walk home
