The Fennels Figure Math – Windows Readme – English

Fennels Figure Math

Gameplay

Some rooms have stuff items which you must find and put in your bag to use later, some 
rooms have math problems. In the Math rooms you will need to observe and listen 
carefully to find out which stuff items to use and how to complete the problems. There is 
often more than one problem per room and all problems need to be solved before you win 
the food item from that room.

To truly enjoy playing Fennels Figure Math, we recommend taking the time to explore 
the house using your problem solving skills and getting help from the Help Hotline and 
the Brain Boosters when needed.

If you are really stuck, read this file to figure out what to do.

The Dining Room Introduction

In the kitchen you will discover that you must solve the Recipe Tangram in order to get

In this game after you have explored the kitchen and found what looks like it could be a 
recipe, you need to help Baxter put back the broken pieces together.

When a piece is in the right place, it will snap to the frame.
Click Complete when you have completed the puzzle. 

Once you have the recipe you must then get the milk you need from the Squirt-o-Matic in 
the Fridge. 

Squirt-O-Matic 

Once Baxter has solved the Tangram and found the "quiche-for-one" recipe you need to 
help him get the milk from the Squirt-O-Matic by calculating the right number of 
cups/pints/quarts/gallons of milk he needs to get from the cow. If you don't remember the 
exact amount, you can click on the chalkboard recipe icon to see the recipe again.

Multiply the amount of milk required for the "quiche-for-one" recipe by the number of 
guests at the dinner.
If you can't get enough milk from one teat, you will need to use a combination of 
measurements to obtain the total amount of milk required.
Consult the Reference Table in the Guidebook in you need help to convert the amount 
needed in the different measures of volumes available from the Squirt-O-Matic.
Enter the amount required from each of the teats by first clicking on the number box on 
that teat and then entering the number on the keypad. Repeat for each teat as necessary.
Click Filler up when you are done.

Then either drag two rocks to the Lava Molder and click Mold or drag one stitched rock 
(a rock already molded) in the Lava Molder and click Unmold.
Note: Unmolding rocks in the Lava Molder may not work like you expect. When you unmold you 
are NOT dividing the original rock by two.  Intead, you are getting two new rocks whose 
temperatures average the original rock. 
If you change your mind about the rocks you place in the molder, click on "Unmold" 
and if it is the wrong combination the rocks will pop out of the Molder.
