-Voice- Aron, do you remember how the touch test works?
-Yes.
@Armed Forces -Voice- Lucas, do you remember how the sight test works?

@Efficacy

Yes.

@Legend
-Voice- Now, do any of you need healing before we begin the next round?

@Efficacy

I don't.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the temperature begins to fluctuate rapidly, and eventually stops*

@Legend@Armed Forces *your senses are all restored*
-Voice- Congratulations! You have completed round 2, with a score of -8, because you each found perceptive solutions to your problems. This is the highest naturally achievable score, but because of Lucas's one mistake, it would have been -7. However, Kelly's unorthodox solution brought it back up to -8. Incidentally, this is the highest score ever achieved on this round, because nobody has made relevant perceptive statements or questions after round 1 and before round 2. In the interest of challenge, please only provide hints concerning how you discovered your solutions.

@Efficacy

I bumped one by mistake.

*the temperature cycles three times before finally getting to hot air with a cold pocket, and there are two buttons left not pressed*

@Efficacy

Hm.
*Feels the two remaining areas, then places the weight down on the right cold one.l, waits a moment, then goes ahead and places the last weight on the only remaining button*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the temperature cycles twice and the air becomes warm with a hot area*

*has filled the spray bottle with all sprays and is spraying every few seconds*
-Soren- *watches the ring glow every so often*

@Efficacy

Interesting...
*Places a weight on the hot button after moving my hand into the pocket*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the temperature switches, but then almost instantly switches again to a cold area with two cool areas*

@Efficacy

*Takes a weight and puts it on one of the cool buttons, then waits a moment before realizing there is still a second and doing the same*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the air around you becomes hot with two warm areas, and the first two buttons remain pressed without doing anything*

@Efficacy

*Moves my hand around and repeats the process of putting the weights on the buttons they go to as I solve each one*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*as you search around, you happen to notice a weight at the far end of one of th surfaces, and there appears to be one on every surface if you reach far enough; the air becomes warm with a hot and a cold area*

-Aron- *a lemon and grape odour appear; I pour some lime and wine into the empty bottle and spray that, eliminating both odours* Let's do this gradually, then. *a green apple odour appears and I out vegetable into the new bottle and spray it again, and then I do the same for orange and bread*

@Mammalia

Mm... Didn't mention this. I can't imagine any reason for these being here except, maybe...
*Picks up a weight and puts it on a hot area's button, then does the same for the cold*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the temperature differential becomes severe for a few seconds and your arms and hands become extremely cold before everything reverts to warm, with a hot area*

-Soren- *keeps the ring in the same place, and it glows eventually for each pattern* Wow.
-Aron- *sprays the correct bottle, and a foul and bread odour appear; I eliminate the bread odour and, while searching for the tomato spray, I notice an empty bottle* Huh?

@Mammalia

Bah...
*Moves my arm around and quickly finds the matching hot button*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the air becomes hot, with a cold and warm area*

@Efficacy

*Moving my arm around, I find the warm first, and press its button. I then find the cold, but end up pressing a button that is too warm*
