Mission 3

• The 4 remain geniuses must crack the puzzle in their lifesaving bag themselves and find the only 1 correct box in 100 plastic boxes. If geniuses find the correct box they will receive the "genius password" to crack into 4 digit numbers to open the safe. However, if geniuses choose the wrong box or answer the question in their safes incorrectly they will be eliminated.
