Jack had been too busy nomming on the BEAUTIFUL chocolate he had just recieved by the Professor. Wow, Hadley was the best professor to him so far. Giving out chocolate during lesson time? A+ my friend. However, what he'd faile to notice was the classroom turn into a giant maze. Ah, so there had to be a catch somewhere.

But with this amount of sugar in his system, Jack was sure he'd be able to knock a wall down rather than solving any riddles to get out of here. But, as he didn't want to damage his perfect self, he would get out the maze the traditional way; walking around and talking to giant numbers.

The first hurdle that Jack came across was a bunch of moving letters. If he remembers correctly, wasn't this Arithmancy? Anyway, Jack assumed that maybe he had to spell the letters seven and two. Which was easier. Running around to catch the letters wasn't though. The 'S' was the most mischevious, and it took Jack a whole 2 MINUTES to finally catch it. Good job he was a little bit hyper.

"Okay, sooooo S-E-V-E-N." Jack had to spell it out loud, just so he didn't get it wrong. That would be embarrassing.

"NON!" Yelled the letters in unison. Non? What the hell was 'Non'?

"Waaaaaait..." Jack said to himself. Oh great, it was French. "I don't even know French!" He yelled back at the letters, as they just laughed and carried on dancing and bouncing around some more. He would have to spell out Seven and Two in French. Well, he knew what Two was, as he could count up to 5 in French, but Seven would be a tricky one. Yes, he was 16 and he could only count up to 5 in French. Catching the numbers to make the word 'Deux', Jack then scratched his head as he wondered how to spell Seven in French. "Right, I'm guessing it begins with a 'S'?" So he had to catch the 'S' again. Wonderful.

After putting the 'S' and the 'E' together, it kind of looked he was writing it in English, until the 'P' and the 'T' started bouncing more frantically than the others. YEY! The letters were actually helping! Putting the 'P' and the 'T' after the other letters in the line, all the leftover letters fell to the ground and let him past.

On to the next hurdle....
