"This level isn't a typical reward-based quiz at all. A real reward-based quiz should have both rewards and penalties, but he only had penalties with no rewards, which doesn't make sense."
"Actually, he mixed the clues necessary to pass the level within the questions."
"For instance, his second question asked: There's a substance as hard as a brick but becomes as soft as a foam board after soaking in water for a minute. What is the substance?"
"I didn't know what that substance was, but since it was the second question, I noticed this '2' on the wall. Before the water reached this point, this wall was as hard as the other walls, like bricks."
"After the water rose, I waited a minute and then kicked it with my foot only to find that it had indeed become as soft as a foam board, so I kicked it down, and we were all saved."
"Of course, before I actually kicked it down, I wasn't sure that this was the correct thing to do."
"Looking at it now, the solution really was just that."
