New York

You are ready to take the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, when you hear the following announcement: All Passengers, until the person in the blue coat with white trim solves the New York Breakout Locks, the ferry is closed for everybody. It is at that moment, you realize you are wearing the blue/white trimmed coat and people are looking at YOU. The tourists are counting on you. Get to it as you only have 45 minutes to get the Staten Island ferry up and running again. Good luck!
