Jenny noticed that there was some words engraved on the wall. She walked closer to take a quick look.

Jenny gasped. She knew this from somewhere...but even so, how is this compared to seven? Jenny could see how it's related to two but...oh, the three and the four in the riddle add up to 7! Of course! Now the real question: what was the answer to the riddle? And where has she seen this before?

Jenny was about to ask Kurumi when...of course! Man! He crawls on four in the morning, walks on two in the afternoon, and walks with a cane at night! And it came from Oedipus! Wow, did she feel smart. Quickly she wrote the number 2 and "3 + 4 = 7" and the word "man" at the bottom. The wall quickly vanished into thin air. "Let's go!" Jenny said to Kurumi as she started forward again.

Kurumi jumped with excitement as her and Jenny finished their second task of the maze. They walked for a little more until they came across two GIANT dancing number 2 and number 7. The numbers - which had arms - grabbed the two and began dancing in a circle with them. Suddenly the two numbers began to chant:

Quote:

What once was up should now be down

Kurumi, forgetting the task at hand at the moment, began to chant along with the numbers before she looked at Jenny who seemed to be more freaked out than enjoying herself. "Right...no dancing..." Kurumi thought about the words and then it came to her. Number 2 and 7 had to be flipped upside down in order for them to be able to pass. Kurumi took out her wand and shouted "Levicorpus!# at the numbers who then dangles the numbers upside down in the air. Now it was safe for them to pass. "Let's go!"

"S-s-s-sorry," she whispered once she had calmed down a bit. The chocolate in her mouth had completely melted now and she took Jenny's hand as they slowly made their way through the maze. They went straight for a while, turned left, turned right, went straight, turned right again and continued to walk until they found a blue stone wall with text carved on it. Kurumi looked at the wall and felt a bead of sweat run down her chin. They had been walking for what seemed like a long time. She would have to thank the professor later for the chocolate. Maybe some cookies were in order. Mint cookies... "Agrippan," Kurumi said aloud. What was that supposed to mean? She scratched her head and concentrated hard for several minutes. "Oh! It mean's the Pythagorean Method!" Kurumi dropped to her knees and pulled out a spare piece of parchment and wrote the sequence on the paper and then looked back at the wall. "Ok...so B means 2...Q-1 means P which means 7...Y means 7...and K means 2...slash T? Oh, that must mean divide! So then the answer 9...What was it that professor said? it is a combination of two...I think we both have to do something," Kurumi said taking out her wand. "Jenny, let's both cast PINGO WHITE and write the number 9 together. That should make the wall vanish." She looked at Jenny - this was getting exciting. "On the count of 3...1...2...3! PINGO WHITE!" and Kurumi began to paint on the wall. "Pingo White!" Jenny yelled. Paint poured out from her wand and she quickly wrote a 9 on the wall. The wall quickly disappeared.
