THE END

Back to Beginning

You remind yourself you’re here to learn from Gary. Besides, you love pizza too much to let the Pizzatron 3000 stay broken.

“Of course I’ll go with you,” you say.

You and Gary hurry to the Pizza Parlor. When you enter, a blast of warm air from the pizza ovens greets you. Relaxing piano music plays. But the candlelit tables are all empty.

The Pizza Parlor manager rushes over to greet you.

“Gary, I’m so glad you’re here!” he says. “The conveyor belt on the Pizzatron 3000 has stopped moving. I can’t make any more pizzas. If you can’t get the machine working, I’ll have to close the shop!”

“It sounds like a simple malfunction,” Gary tells him. “Let me see the machine.”

You follow Gary and the manager through the beaded curtain leading to the kitchen. The Pizzatron 3000 has come to a dead stop.

The main part of the machine is a tall metal box with an on/off switch. From there, pizza dough is dropped onto the conveyor belt. Toppings like sauce and seaweed are added. Then the finished pizzas drop off of the conveyor belt and are delivered to customers.

“I will examine the motor,” Gary says. He points to a gear box underneath the conveyor belt. “The levers are in the wrong starting position. Can you reset them correctly for me?”

You realize that Gary is talking to you.

“Sure,” you say. You look down at the box.

There are five levers attached to the box: two red ones, two green ones, and a blue one. You see that all five levers are pushed in. You know that some of them should be pulled out—you’re just not sure which ones.

Gary starts to tinker with the motor, and you start to sweat. You must have made a million pizzas using the Pizzatron 3000, but you can’t remember which levers to pull out. But you do know it’s not the blue lever . . .
